Andrew McCabe is one step closer to a reckoning with justice.
The Department of Justice correctly rejected the equivalent of a Hail Mary appeal from McCabes lawyers that he not face criminal charges for lying. U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jessie K. Liu has recommended moving forward against the fired former FBI acting director. Presenting the case to a federal grand jury is likely imminent.
Lest we forget, McCabe has helped put people behind bars for lying. He should be held to the same legal standard.
In a scathing condemnation of McCabe last year, the Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general a neutral investigator appointed by former President Barack Obama concluded that McCabe lacked candor on four occasions when questioned by federal agents about leaking information to a reporter.
A lack of candor, mind you, is a polite way of saying McCabe lied not once, but four times.
McCabe was appropriately fired from the bureau, and the inspector general promptly referred the case to the DOJ for potential criminal prosecution.
Federal prosecutors have spent the better part of 17 months evaluating the incriminating evidence. They have been more than fair in listening to the explanations and excuses offered by defense lawyers.
In his own defense, McCabe claims he was stricken with a sudden onset of incoherence and amnesia. It was all a misunderstanding and miscommunication, he insists.
In the alternative, McCabe avers that it was nothing more than an innocent failure of recollection. Not likely.
None of the people associated with Trump were ever afforded such vapid excuses when Special Counsel Robert Mueller leveled criminal charges for lying against people like Michael Flynn, George Papadopoulos and Roger Stone.

Hannity isn’t even playing conservative any more. He’s mainline GOPe. If I hear him sniffing Graham’s behind one more time I will throw up. His focus seems to be keeping base morale up for 2020 so we reelect McConnell and Graham.
As I mentioned earlier, reports suggest that it was a top to bottom FISA filing. Somebody near the top had to write it and the ass kissers below signed off.
It all goes back to the Kenyan in the white house at the time. He knew damn well what was going on. To think he didn’t is a joke. If Obama and his pack of rabid partisans aren’t brought to justice then justice is really dead and when justice breaks down everyone’s in jeopardy.
I couldn’t agree more.
0bama and his thugs left a stain on our nation that will take years to undo.
Interesting. Jarrett has good inside sources. I would love to see McCabe being frog-walked in an orange jumpsuit.
I’m not disagreeing with that, but, if their name is on it, then they’re liable for what’s in it and what they raised their right hand for.
I agree with you on the signatures. If they don't mean anything, why sign it? There were mortgage underwriters that went to jail for not verifying income during the financial crisis.
Like many (or most) of the Democoms, he is a member in good-standing of the smirkantile guild.
