    He was fined, lost his law license and got 2 years of probation for the docs in his pants.

    What would be odd is McCabe getting prosecuted.

    The simple answer is that they won’t pursue it because they don’t see that he broke they law.

    I know you guys all had your hopes up, but sometimes the simple answer is the right one.

    Very true, but as I suggested...McCabe is likely a rat:

    You’ve got zero evidence to support that.

    The IG came up short on "lying," describing McCabe's interviews as "lacking candor." The difference was sufficient for him to avoid prosecution. If you don't agree, you could write to Trump and ask him to overrule the DoJ decision, a power he apparently thinks he has.

    If you don’t charge them you don’t have any leverage over them.

    Obviously trump is accepting responsibility for the actions of his DOJ.

    I thought trump was independent?

    I guess trump should feel free to intervene in actions taken by "trump's doj"

    I'd give it a couple of rallies before coming to that conclusion...he tends to get carried away at those. He did reserve the right to overrule Barr today.

    What's the difference?

    I think we know about this a while back, the thinking there are other slam dunk indictments coming from Durham. But this is certainly as solid a case for an offense as what Flynn is accused of.

    It's pretty obvious we have a two tier justice system, one for the rich and the other for the rest of us. Heck most of us have our own personal stories about it at this point

    You didn’t mind when it was Stone who benefited from the two tier system.
