The selection bias of the DC jury pool is a problem in need of a solution, if we are using them to indict and try corruption by top Federal officials and their associates. The left will get off automatically, like this, and the right will get crucified automatically regardless of the evidence, cf. the perjurious Roger Stone jury forewoman.
The letter of freedom to McCabe’s lawyers was from the DOJ.

A radio piece I heard on this also said the decision was by the US Atty for DC.
That would be the newly appointed Shea. Supposedly he was Barr’s right hand man before that. Also the USA who fumbled the Stone sentencing issue.
That’s two strikes for Shea already. Not a good sign.
