McCabe Pleads 5th While Comey and Lynch Don’t Even Come to Senate Hearing
The Western Journal ^ | June 20, 2018 at 5:44am | Jack Davis

A Senate Judiciary Committee hearing designed to learn more about a federal report on the flawed investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails was stymied when one key witness refused to talk and two others did not even attend.

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who had sought immunity before he would discuss his role in the investigation, refused to testify after it was not granted. Instead, Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley said Monday that McCabe invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, The Washington Times reported.

Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former FBI Director James Comey were also invited to testify but did not attend. Grassley cited them both in his comments.

Actually none of this is a surprise. It just reinforces the need for honest evaluation.

1) McCabe is a crook. I have no doubt of that.

2) I wouldn't testify in front of a hostile Committee, either. "F" that. "On the advice of counsel, I decline to answer that question."

Invited? Is this an investigation or a cocktail party?

I am actually approving that immunity was not granted to McCabe. It tells me the government does not need his testimony, they have enough to convict him and others.

Correct on both points.

Beyond being a “crook”, he has none of the abilities required for the job description he filled. He is devoid of character and has lied to destroy others to advance his own career.

Expose em All. No matter who is hurt.

Before any prosecution can commence they would have to find someone not tainted by their own complicity in the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
Does that person exist?

The cocktail party is afterwards. Everyone will be that tippling and laughing at the citizenry whom they are humbugging.

Yes, I’m sure that there are enough FBI agents that are willing to testify to the crimes committed to get the job done.

Trump has many times complemented the rank and file Agents. If fully exposed this is the largest/worst criminal conspiracy in the history of the US government.

It is Time. Expose em All to daylight disinfectant. No matter who is hurt.

In reference to Lynch, he said, “The need for transparency does not end when senior officials are fired or quit.”

Finally our guys are growing a pair...

I always like the drama of them taking the 5th in public, on TV.

I am hoping one of these people will cut a deal to stay out of prison.

People no longer in the employ of the government may refuse to appear.

What does it matter; they’ll take the 5th anyway.

The Media executives and reporters are not protected by the first ammendment when they become part of the conspiracy. They can be convicted as conspirtors.

Out of the Prisons....... off with their heads
