Justice Department not going after McCabe

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.

Looks like the plan to fire McCabe hours before retirement to cheat him out of his retirement and have him charged on "trumped up" charges failed. He is free and clear and will be collecting his $2,000,000 retirement pay after all.
'trumped up charges'?

The US IG gave evidence of him lying under oath 4 times and leaking classified, which Comey himself testified to under oath.

The DOJ saying it will not pursue Indictment is not the same as saying he is innocent of all charges / accusations.

McCabe withheld exculpatory evidence, helping to bankrupt / destroy other people's / family's lives...the SOB deserved the same and to go to jail.
It simply means that AG Barr and the Justice department did not find any charges, that competent lawyers would be able to get a conviction on in front of a judge and 12 man jury. He was not charged. He will now collect he $2 Million dollar retirement he accrued after many years of faithful service to his country, even though they tried to fire him within a few hours of his planned retirement to screw him out of it. No problem. I wish him the best in his retirement, as I am sure you do also.
He is still fired and has no retirement.
He'll get it, ya dumb doofus.
No, he won't. You claimed he will "now collect' it, liar.
Wait and see. When he does collect start receiving it, it will not mean you lied. It will only mean you are a shallow, nearsighted, stupid fk.

Don't have to wait and see. Your lie has already been exposed.
 
Everyone knows what little Andy did....not charging and prosecuting him is a travesty of justice....and guarantees it will happen again...

They've only dropped the investigation arising from Horowitz's 2018 referral. This has nothing to do with Durham's investigation which is still ongoing.

He isn't being charged because Trump has never taken control of the Justice Department. In fact, Trump has never asserted control of most of the Federal Government. Take the NSC. One of the very few Trump supporters the president had appointed to serve on the NSC found himself submerged among the holdovers, and under Trump-appointed superiors who were in tune with the holdovers working in opposition to the president. He was fired. Fast.

The few other pro-Trump appointees to the NSC either had their security clearances delayed ad infinitum, or withdrawn outright because of their criticism of the deep state. President Trump ended up presiding over an NSC composed almost exclusively of people such as the Vindman brothers, the CIA’s Eric Ciaramella, and his friend Sean Misko, who teamed up with House Democrats to impeach Trump.

Up and down and across the bureaucracy, with the exception of the Departments of Treasury and Commerce, the story is largely the same. Deep state people had governed before the 2016 election and continued to govern after it as if it had never happened—except that now they also spend their time vilifying Trump and his voters.

The Justice Department may be the worst of all. Its career prosecutors facilitated and failed to prosecute the obvious violations of law from Hillary Clinton and her associates as well as those from elements within the FBI and CIA, while making a horror show of “process crimes” committed by Trump associates. Most recently, four Justice Department prosecutors resigned in public protest because the attorney general had overruled their persecution of one such person, enabling Democrats and their media to scream once again that Trump’s management of the executive branch violates the rule of law.

Donald Trump, unlike nearly all previous presidents—and most unlike Barack Obama and Bill Clinton did not come with a team he could trust to help him do the job. Obama has the Illinois Political Establishment, Bush had the Austin team, Clinton brought his folks from Arkansas. Trump had a family business, run nothing like a government bureaucracy and headed by a handful of folks.

Ever since Andrew Jackson, every president has tried to bring into office people who share his vision or are willing to follow his lead so that he may govern as he was elected to govern. Not Trump. He does what he does well, while fighting the agencies that are supposed to be working on his behalf.

In November 2020, the Democratic Party will present a candidate who, if elected, is ready, willing, and able to place every last one of the U.S. government’s levers in the hands of people who are intensely committed to doing a lot of harm to most of us and to our way of life. If they don't obtain power in 2020, they likely will in 2024.

Donald Trump enemies in the Deep State have suffered no harm. Right now it looks very much like the Deep State will survive two Trump terms and be ready to pick up right where they were when they expected Hillary to take over, though the next person could be in the style of Bernie Sanders, imagine how they would respond when the next inevitable recession comes.

Trump's been amazing, but unless he is followed by someone like Cruz who can complete the tasks of reforming the Federal Agencies unfettered reach into every aspect of our lives, Trump's a passing phenomenon.
