No he didn't.... the IG did not even accuse him of "falsification to the FBI or IG investigator", he was accused of "lack of Candor" by the IG, and lack of Candor is a level below "lying/falsification to the FBI etc."..... in general, in lack of candor accusations the employee is reprimanded or disciplined, and not fired.They already have evidence. The US IG recommended McCabe's indictment after his investigation.It will be very interesting to watch and see if a grand jury will find anything.
Falsification and Lack of Candor are Quite Distinct
The Court explained that falsification and lack of candor are distinct charges. Generally speaking, falsification involves an affirmative misrepresentation and requires intent to deceive. Lack of candor, on the other hand, is a broader and more flexible concept. The Court said that lack of candor need not involve an affirmative misrepresentation; failure to disclose something that, in the circumstances, should have been disclosed may suffice. The Court added that unlike the case with falsification, lack of candor does not require intent to deceive.
Can Federal Employees Be Disciplined For "Lack Of Candor"?
McCabe HELPED Trump in the election by leaking to the press about an investigation in to the Clinton Foundation...that it was still going on and had not ended.
As the Deputy director, he actually had the power to release so called 'leaks', so he did not break the rules on that at all...
but, he was not completely forth coming about it.... that's what he got in trouble for....
Seems to me, it is the Trump Administration with emphasis on Trump himself, that is turning our Justice department in to a tool for the President/ Dictator to punish his perceived enemies, like in any good Banana Republic!
In other words, using it for all of his phony witch hunts, that he is ACTUALLY doing, while he claims it is others doing it to him. He really is an awful person, inside and out.... and for the life of me, I do not understand how any person, can not see this and admit to this?
You are PROJECTING.
McCabe to face a Grand Jury?
