WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors have declined to charge former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, closing an investigation into whether he lied to federal officials about his involvement in a news media disclosure, McCabe’s legal team said Friday.
The decision resolves a criminal investigation that spanned more than a year and began with a referral from the Justice Department’s inspector general, which said McCabe repeatedly lied about having authorized a subordinate to share information with a newspaper reporter for a 2016 article about an FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation.
McCabe’s lawyers said in a statement they were told in a phone call and letter that the case is closed and “no charges will be brought against him based on the facts.”

The Department of NO Justice is at it again. This is a disgrace. No one in Washington DC (District of Criminals) ever goes to jail. Our Country is going down the sewer in a fast moving whirlpool of corruption.
I think because he has become a useful critter for the DOJ but protecting him by doing this. There had been rumors before that he was “helping” the DOJ if you had been keeping up with this information.
Helping with what? SHOWING US ALL that the dept of injustice is a JOKE, and deserves NO RESPECT WHAT so bloody ever?!
Old days he would probably be invited to a neck tie party along with Comey. Wonder what they have to do to get ANY jail time.
Be a republican or one of us mere peons… IT seems if you are a dem in power, you can do what ever the hell you want, and never ever go to jail.
It makes no difference what crimes federal law non-enforcement commit. They are a protected species just as is the demoncrat party, members of congress of either party. It has become totally disgusting when our supposed own government has become a crime syndicate. There’s no way the amount of illegal drugs in this country could be smuggled into this nation without the govt. being the smugglers. All of these illegal and unconstitutional alphabet agencies from the fbi, cia, epa, nsa or others need to be done away with along with their illegal patriot act which the idiot “w” bush pushed through congress to destroy the bill of rights. Total corruption is what govt. in the USA is today.
Trump was and is wrong when he refers to wash dc as a swamp. It is a sewer filled with sewer rats who do nothing but protect themselves against the will of the American people.
WHICH is why i keep saying, AND WILL KEEP SAYING, the entire bloody justice dept, needs to get SCORCHED EARTH..
I’m with you on that Ituser… Not just the JP… but 2/3’s of the federal government. I’m hoping this little weasel sang like a song bird to save his useless butt.
Stating with the FBI, NSA< CIA, Dept of indoctrination, and the list goes on and on.
Try and pull “lack of candor” with an FBI agent (or Congress) and they will bust you for “lying” if they find further information on your statement that you left out.
Twitter was alive and well today to point out that this was for “lesser” charges, and that Durham is still investigating the IG report and the FISA abuses, so he’s not off the hook yet, so I am waiting, like many for an end to the two-tiered justice system where no one (except Democrats) is above the law!
If not for such Democratic Double-standards, they would not have any standards, at all!
Woopdy do..
You don’t suppose he may just know where all the body’s are buried, do you? Like hover he likely has files on everyone who could bring witness against him. No one wants to break the scum on top of that septic tank.
President Trump’s second term best consist of a complete removal and replacement of all DOJ personnel. As for Barr, he is as useless as Sessions was, he must step down or be thrown out. If we are ever to have a country from here forward this must be. Our country as a free republic is hanging in the balance.
Totally sick of this. When one is called to Jury Duty, if they don’t show up for the court date, they are fined and can be jailed, immediately. I was on several juries and one time some potential jurors didn’t show up and the judge had the sheriff go and get them promptly.
Why is this happening to the common people, and not to these people? Why are they regarded as “hands off?” To make matters worse and an insult to the people who make this country hum every day, pay their taxes and show up for work, the rich who do these crimes go on talk shows and paid and then write books and paid again. Who says crime doesn’t pay?
Lois Lerner isn’t in jail, nor Hillary Clinton, nor Bill Clinton, Susan Rice, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder and many, many more. Bruce Ohr still has his job. Vindman was re-assigned. So many I can’t count them all, but let one of us do this and we would be put under the jail. Why? Because we don’t have famous names and can’t afford high priced lawyers.
The people who pay the bills for all of this crime have had enough!!!
That’s what i’ve been saying. ITS showing CLEAR AS DAY, that there is at a minimum a three tier justice system.
One for politicians/rich folk,
One for iillegal invaders
and on the bottom of the spectrum, are us US Citizens.
Well, I’m waiting .impatiently for Republican leadership &/or American Bar Assn to try to justify what appears to be obvious judicial bias & exemption from any legal consequences for admitted / proven liars under oath, criminal fraud, leakers & sedition re: McCabe, Comey, Ohr, Clapper, Brennan, to name just a few of the most arrogant & obnoxious who are not in Congress & being unjustly shielded from criminal liability like Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi & rest of corrupt Dem political tyrants including the anti-American subversive, Bernie Sanders, the Marxist poster boy.
With how things seem to be going, we’ll be waiting till HELL FROZE over, before that happens.
