    Yes. The people are so very upset that a dedicated public servant wasn’t railroaded! They’re surely going to revolt over a failure to gin up some charges!

    Someone's personal opinion?
    As evidence?
    Likely very biased opinion.

    Oh, look, it’s a statute unaccompanied by any facts or analysis! Wow, what a convincing argument!

    Come on. Put a little effort into this.

    Where's the corruption proof?

    Even tRUMP can't provide any proof. It tRUMP just part of the conspiracy theory deep state?

    We hoped?
    This is the tRUMP hand picked DoJ making these decisions.

    Ever stop and think all the claims about obama have been total BS?

    The vast majority of people at the DOJ are career officials who werent appointed by anyone. They were the ones who decided not to prosecute, not Barr. If Barr would have overruled them it would become a political scandal, regardless if McCabe deserves prison time.

    So no, "Trump's" DOJ didnt clear him, the DOJ career officials did. The same type of career officials that royally messed up (possibly deliberately) the FISA applications

    Won?
    He's the 3rd prez to be impeached.
    All 3 impeached prez's have been acquitted in the Senate. But all 3 are still impeached.

    Yes, we all should be concerned.
    But 1st, the partisanship needs to be stopped.
    Each side thinks the other is completely corrupt while no one on their side is corrupt.

    But as on now, 1 side has more going to jail. Even with that side now in power.

    Or maybe, this was actually the case.

    McCabe has said his firing is the latest salvo in an “ongoing war” on the FBI and the special counsel investigating Trump-Russia connections. President Trump immediately pivoted from McCabe's firing over how he handled an aspect of a Clinton investigation to attacking the entire FBI for its ongoing investigation of him.

    As I said.
    As is the case with all 3 impeached presidents. But impeached presidents is still in their title.

    I never mentioned anything about Obama. It's a clear fact that McCabe lied, that's why they, we can now say TOYED with the idea of indicting the guy. If you or I lied, we would be indicted and tried.

    It's one thing to say he would be found not guilty, but we didn't even get that. So no, we had hoped there would be equal justice to the law but there really isn't equal justice.

    If you wear a badge, you can lie with impunity, even to a court. But if you're a normal citizen, you're out of luck.

    He won. Much like Johnson, it was all political. Clinton later took a plea for his actions that lead to the impeachment. That won’t happen with trump because there is nothing to plea to. No crimes. Fully exonerated

    From 2018.
    McCabe's lawyer, Michael Bromwich, downplayed the recommendation. “We were advised of the referral within the past few weeks," he said. "Although we believe the referral is unjustified, the standard for an IG referral is very low."

    Referring to the U.S. attorney's office for the District of Columbia, he added: "We have already met with staff members from the U.S. attorney’s office. We are confident that, unless there is inappropriate pressure from high levels of the administration, the U.S. attorney’s office will conclude that it should decline to prosecute.”

    Bromwich has said in the past that McCabe had full authority to authorize the release of information to the reporter, never misled investigators, and corrected the record about his answers.

    The inspector general's report concluded that McCabe authorized two FBI officials to tell a reporter from The Wall Street Journal that, contrary to what the reporter claimed to have heard, the FBI was not trying to delay an investigation into the Clinton Foundation.
