McCabe: The Inspector General is a Joke and There's No Way I'm Getting Prosecuted

Fired Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe is quite confident the DOJ Inspector General's referral Thursday to the U.S. Attorney for his criminal prosecution is going nowhere.

"We were advised of the referral within the past few weeks. Although we believe the referral is unjustified, the standard for an IG referral is very low," McCabe's attorney released in a statement Thursday afternoon. "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."

A reminder of the finding from the IG report:

"We found that, in a conversation with then-Director Comey shortly after the WSJ article was published, McCabe lacked candor when he told Comey, or made statements that led Comey to believe, that McCabe had not authorized the disclosure and did not know who did. This conduct violated FBI Offense Code 2.5 (Lack of Candor – No Oath).

We also found that on May 9, 2017, when questioned under oath by FBI agents from INSD, McCabe lacked candor when he told the agents that he had not authorized the disclosure to the WSJ and did not know who did. This conduct violated FBI Offense Code 2.6 (Lack of Candor – Under Oath)."...

Famous last words.

“Lacked candor” shows up in other DOJ OIG reports on personnel matters. The IG isn’t in the disciplinary business, so “lacked candor” indicates some kind of dishonesty that may or may not be cause for punishment or prosecution, to be determined by the OPR or a US Attorney:

Sure do “appreciate” your “positive attitude!” Can you be a little less “positive” in your next post?

Lol!

“No deals.”

My big concern is that Sessions won’t get off his duff except to ‘recuse’ himself. Sessions to me has always has and will be “the fly in the ointment.”

“Another commie lib thinking that he’s above the law. Geez. What the hell did Obama do to the FBI?”

Corrupted it to it’s core just the way obama is.
