The Justice Department announced Friday that it is closing its investigation of Andrew McCabe, the FBI’s former deputy director, over his false statements to investigators probing an unauthorized leak that McCabe had orchestrated. McCabe was fired in March 2018, shortly after a blistering Justice Department inspector general (IG) report concluded that he repeatedly and blatantly lied — or, as the Bureau lexicon puts it, “lacked candor” — when questioned, including under oath.
Why not indict McCabe on felony false-statements charges? That is the question being pressed by incensed Trump supporters. After all, the constitutional guarantee of equal justice under the law is supposed to mean that McCabe gets the same quality of justice afforded to the sad sacks pursued with unseemly zeal by McCabe’s FBI and Robert Mueller’s prosecutors.
George Papadopoulos was convicted of making a trivial false statement about the date of a meeting. Roger Stone was convicted of obstruction long after the special counsel knew there was no Trump–Russia conspiracy, even though his meanderings did not impede the investigation in any meaningful way. And in the case of Michael Flynn’s false-statements conviction, as McCabe himself acknowledged to the House Intelligence Committee, even the agents who interviewed him did not believe he intentionally misled them.

The only LOGICAL ANSWER is McCabe made a deal. It looks like the DOJ wants Brennan, Clapper and Comey. Strozk and Page will also see indictments and the star witnesses will be the Ohr’s.....Good old Andy can tie them all together....or spend a few years in jail!!!
In addition to this story by McCarthy, be sure to read the EXCELLENT story on the two-tier justice system by J. Christian Adams today on PJ Media:
President Trump Starts to Drain the Swamp, Yanks Jessie Liu Treasury Dept. Nomination (PJ Media article)
The reason is very simple.
The grand jury refused to indict him. Which doesn't happen very often.
The reason why they refused to indict him is because he didn't commit any crimes.
The grand jury isn't made up of trump appointees or republican politicians who are afraid of him. The grand jury is made up of regular Americans who have no bias one way or another.
The whole thing was political persecution. The judge chewed out the prosecutors for wasting time, money and persecuting McCabe.
The FOIA lawsuit forced the release of the court transcripts last week. The very same day, the government announced they are dropping the investigation. Those transcripts show the truth. Not the lies you russian trolls try to peddle. You might take a few minutes to read the transcripts.
