What McCarthy is missing is that strozyk was a biased Clinton fan than oversaw her favored treatment and investigation. His partisanship gave her a pass in an unprecedented way, avoiding all normal investigative techniques. This same guy was running the trump collusion investigation and acted in a completely different manner. The two investigations are inextricably linked and the integrity of both is in question as a result. We don’t need to “give more time”. Even the appearance of a partisan witch hunt against trump in the backdrop of a wet kiss applied to Clinton destroys the integrity of the investigations and warrants extreme action by the president and congress to avoid a constitutional crisis. This is what Andrew is missing. He’s a great mind and legal writer, but this is no longer just a criminal matter but a political one.
This is a coup.
The clincher for me is how Strzok changed the wording on Hitlery’s conduct from grossly negligent (a federal espionage crime) to extremely careless.
Jim Jordan and Bob Goodlatte seem determined to find if Strzok authored and walked the FISA application to the court for the unmasking, and iterated that Wray HAS to cough the application over in SCIF.
McCarthy starts by telling is to trust the system and don’t blame Strzock, but then goes on to describe in detail the clear bias of the FBI/DOJ deep-state elites, the obvious bias of Mueller’s team, and the total failures and corruption of the DOJ and FBI when it came to Obama’s and Clinton’s crimes.
McCarthy’s really sending a contradictory message.
Maybe talking out of both sides of your mouth is a habit people develop when they work in government for a long time.
The gist of this article seems to be that Conservatives must adhere to some absurd Gentlemanly code of conduct and Rules of Engagement while liberals can do and say anything the well dern please.
Reminds me of Bill Cosby's "Coin Toss" routine where General Custer and his men were required to sit at the bottom of the hill while Sitting Bull and all the Indians in the world rode down on them. I say screw all that. Let's be like Trump and hit back ten times as hard.
Evidence?
What a novel concept—Pity you won’t extend the same courtesy to Judge Roy Moore.
Lisa Page should be a focal point of this investigation. what cases did she work on? Were cases with Strzok? She is FBI and was on Muellers Team. what did she do for Mueller’s Team? Did she use her lawyer skills to uncover info and then pass it on to Strzok? Nobody knows until they ask.
Strzok seems to be the fall guy here. I doubt he changed Comey’s words and then Comey went along without question. Scapegoat comes to mind.
No one has to park their political opinion, preferences or personal biases at the door, in the USA, in order to work. No citizen who engages in his civic duty, enjoys his voting rights, contributes to preferred candidates or political parties can be fired for doing so.
God forbid if that constitutional right is criminalized.
Peter Strzok should be in trouble for none of the above.
Strzok trashed protocols to exonerate Hillary and used Hillary Campaign opposition research the campaign paid for, just to entrap Trump with a tainted, fraudulent form to FISA.
This fraud authorized the wiretapping that resulted in the slander and shake down of Trump, and charges against Manafort and Flynn and . Donald Jr harassed.
McCarthy is usually one of the few bright spots in the post-Buckley NR. However, he has a giant blind spot when it comes to his former co-workers at FBI/DoJ. He has that “thin blue line” mentality.
I didn’t think I could detest Andie McCarthy any more than I do but this turned the dial a few notches. IF he had these feelings about the Clintons for 15 years before the election and he STILL worked so hard to defeat Trump, Andie boy is a true piece of crap. NeverTRumpers are trapped by their of bull shit predictions of disaster in a Trump presidency and now they don’t know how to get out.

McCarthy: “I will repeat what I have been saying for over a year: The decision not to prosecute Hillary Clinton was made by Barack Obama — not by Jim Comey, not by Loretta Lynch, and certainly not by Peter Strzok.”
Is McCarthy really trotting out the “They Were Just Following Orders” defense of Comey, Lynch, McCabe, Strzok and crew to deny responsibility for their own corrupt actions in the fraudulent pretense of claiming to have honestly investigated and exonerated Hillary?
It’s true Obama as president could have straightforwardly ordered the Justice Department and the FBI to simply drop the investigation into Hillary’s setting up an off the books IT operation and running classified info through it.
But he didn’t. Comey and pals conducted a sham and fraudulent investigation to fool the public. The fact that Obama may have suggested or hinted that he wanted them to do this does not excuse them for their own participation in the corruption and abuse of power.
A rather despicable argument from McCarthy.
“Wait for evidence” means “wait until the evidence is destroyed.” “Due process” means “allow an already corrupt DoJ to exonerate.” “It was 0bama” means “nobody underneath may be held responsible for criminal activity.” No thanks for the snake oil, Andy. We scream about this now or it gets shoved under the rug and the coup proceeds.
That seems to be the real issue to me. The entrenched justice department employees should not work against an elected President and administration. If they can't do that, they should resign.
There will be civil war if they prevail.
Don’t forget that McCarthy defended SP Patrick Fitzgerald as a honorable guy in his persecution/prosecution of Scooter Libby.
National Review: Lets hope no one does anything and Trump is impeached. Fixed
McCarthy’s argument boils down to “Agent Strzok is not responsible because Obama ordered it.” Sorry, but that did not work at Nuremburg. At the very least, Agent Strzok is an accessory to obstruction of justice by Obama.
All We The People are expected to do is wait, wait, and wait some more while we’re being lied to, deceived, and taken to the cleaners, ya think? I think We The People want answers now not a hundred years from now.
