Scot free: Ex-FBI official McCabe won't face Justice Department charges

This is obviously a deep-state move by Bill Barr-

Sorry, I couldn't finish that sentence, I was laughing too hard. I don't think it's a coincidence that this Mccabe non-prosecution was announced right after the public scolding Trump had to take. Barr seems to be asserting some independence. Or he's looking at the prospect of mass resignations, if Trump keeps interfering in cases. Probably a little of both.

 

Huh? I didn't? What makes you say that?

 

Just another day of my life with no faith in our legal system.

 

Lucky guess

 

When was that from lol, what was the thread title? I think maybe I was talking about how another person did the same as stone and got zero charges at all FYI

If your rich and connected you get preferential treatment (Stone) or your a member of the system (McCabe) you get preferential treatment. Funny I don't think I'm upset about either as it's all apart of the sad state of the justice system.

 

Either way, it’s important to protect them. In particular when they are working against the corrupt Obama admin

 

How has Stone benefited from anything?

 

3 years of trump and how many of these supposedly corrupt admin officials are in prison?

 

I am beginning to wonder how Anthony Weiner gets 21 months but Stone may get 9 years.

 

We'll see...Flynn was caught lying about his conversation with the Russian ambassador. He claimed that he'd only talked to the ambassador to wish him holiday greetings and to convey his sympathy regarding a Russian plane crash carrying Russian soldiers to Syria. In fact, he'd talked to the ambassador about an upcoming U.N. Security Council vote, wherein we wanted Russian support and a request not to respond with sanctions similarly imposed on Russia, by the Obama administration in response to the Russian election interference. Flynn pled guilty to the charges (McCabe never did).
Trump apparently thinks that now that he's got conviction on impeachment behind him, he can now "disproof" the Russian interference charges and clear Putin...which will allow the sanctions against Russia for their Ukrainian invasion to be lifted, thus allowing a revival of the Russian oil and gas industry (e.g. a half trillion dollar deal, on Arctic drilling, with Exxon-Mobil). IMO, this is a central element (but not necessarily the sole element) in Trump's personal quid pro quo with Vlad.

 

McCabe got a Valentine from the Justice Department!!!

 

Yes. we HOPED the law would apply equally. Sadly, it doesn't apply equally. We ARE Ukraine. So no wonder it's in our interests to pay them off. Monkey scratches the other monkey's back.

 

Well to be fair most of that time the investigation was being obstructed by Obama holdovers and false accusations about a Russian conspiracy and trump.
Lots of this is just coming to light

 

"Lacking candor" is different from lying, how? It's not. "No one is above the law, except those who have a vested interest within the law.". This is the worst possible outcome for Justice. Justice has a partisan slant confirmed.

 

Do not fret. I'm sure that NEXT investigation will make all your dreams come true.

 

More evidence of a proper oligarchy.

As if we needed more evidence.

 

What "next" investigation? The investigation is on going.....John Durham is hard at work,

 

Did you try to make the most ironic post in the history of the internet.. If so.. Congrats this should make you famous!

 

The FBI often corrects false stories from the press. It's not a crime for them to do it.

 

Leaking classified information is a crime even if they are trying to "correct a story" in your words..

Which sounds alot like Correct the Record but thanks showing they are still active.

 

Lack of candor would differ from lying insomuch as his testimony would fail to either completely answer a question he was asked, under oath, or not reveal relevant information he had to the issue, but not directly asked about. I believe the IG DID refer criminal charges to DoJ, but DoJ has chosen not to pursue prosecution, apparently deeming "lack of candor" to be sufficient for termination of McCabe's employment, but not sufficient as grounds for a perjury prosecution. I also remember that McCabe has a civil suit pending regarding his termination.

 

After this, do you think we really give credence to anything they say? At all? You can lack candor under oath, and it's all OKAY now. So, what is the Flynn case about? Don't worry, this was the cold water effect. The prosecution department will never govern over its own department for the sanctity of the system.

"Justice". Lol. ROFL. "Justice". That's an adorable little word there Bill Barr. It's right up there with dreams and fantasies.

 

Now McCabe should sue for his retirement.

 

Stones lies interfered with an investigation into russian meddling, and Weiner plead guilty.

 

Lack of candor vs lies

wife: did you got to a bar after work?
Me: no
If I did, that’s a lie

wife: did you go to Jim’s pub after work?
Me: no (because I went to a different bar)
That’s a lack of candor

 

Interfered with an investigation that was utterly unnecessary. Yes, I still want our money back. The US taxpayer is owed $33 million dollars(and no, the prosecution of Manafort doesn't make it any better since that could have been handled separately.)
