It would appear toward the end of last month (February), McCabe and his attorney were given the summary outline of the OIG referral submitted to the Office of Professional Responsibility. They had approximately three weeks to file a response.
Then a week ago, they received the finalized a copy of the OPR recommendation delivered to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. They had four more days to respond to the Deputy AG.
Doesn’t sound rushed to me.
Here we have a career government lawyer complaining about a rush to judgement. That is exactly the mindset that created the morass of government that we have now.
It's about faithfully carrying out the duties of the office objectively.
Otherwise, "You're fired!"
There are, in this case, still criminal matters that have to be addressed.
McCabe picked his retirement date. Any “rushed” is on him.
Anything short of taking forever is “rushed” to these sluggards. McCabe’s paid shill is basically saying that in his day, the FBI/DoJ was sclerotic and incompetent. Given that his client was playing “beat the clock”, charging Sessions of all people with rushing is laughable.
Government bureaucracies, especially the FBI, grind and grind on every matter interminably, as a means of feather-bedding, manipulating results, letting favored crooks go free longer, burying their own corruption, and as an expression of indecisiveness. This sclerosis is why the FBI in particular, and the government in general are so ineffective. Results: dead people. They don’t have time and resources to stop Nickolas Cruz types, when presented with evidence of clear and present danger.
By all accounts proper due process was afforded Mr.?McCabe in accordance with the IG investigative handbook.
All this pissing and moaning is for naught.
Mr. McCabe is now a throughly discredited witness and of no use to anyone. He should probably avoid late night walks alone...
