DOJ won't pursue criminal charges against McCabe

[FoxNews] The Justice Department said Friday it will not pursue criminal charges against former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, after a nearly two-year-long investigation into accusations brought by the agency's independent watchdog who found that he lacked "candor" when questioned about leaking to the media.

In a letter to McCabe attorney Michael Bromwich obtained by Fox News, Justice Department attorney J.P. Cooney said the investigation is now “closed.”

#4 It was known a year ago the DOJ IG investigation, even though they were referred for criminal prosecution, would not result in DOJ charges against McCabe or Comey. This doesn't exclude charges being brought by the Barr/Durham investigation.

#6 The DOJ added: “Based on the totality of the circumstances and all of the information known to the government at this time, we consider the matter closed."

Is the government going to come up with some such weasel wording for Strzok, Page, Ohrs, Comey and the others and exonerate all of them?

#7 So it's O.K. to illegally leak and then lie about it to the government?

Try this with the IRS and you will be in the slammer.

#9 Here's a reminder that a former prosecutor and sheriff's deputy gave me. Say Nothing, say Nothing, say Nothing. Let your lawyer talk. You say nothing. Probably more than 90% of cases fall apart if you say nothing.

#11 There are probably lots of other things to go after him for, and this time with a properly constructed case, not one done under the supervision of his allies

#16 I'm thinking TW at #11 may have it right. I was initially annoyed, but then as I read more came to the conclusion that there was likely a more solid case coming. I hope so at least.
