The sequence this email posits is absurd on its face. Liu get a GJ to say forget it, Liu asks//offers/whatever to main justice, main justice says “try again.” Absurd.
Nobody at DOJ wants to successfully prosecute criminal Democrats to the benefit of Donald J. Trump. That is as a sure a beltway career ender as there is. So we get this ridiculous years long bureaucratic game of hot potato there.
No doubt true. But now they have competing objectives.
And not to say that this case against McCabe is a good one, setting aside all the other garbage DOJ, et al have been up to.
The DOJ has hemmoraged its credibility. It is a laughingstock. It is despised. It is viewed as a corrupt institution.
It needs a fall guy.
