    Default Let me see if I got the McCabe story straight ...

    - In 2015 McCabe's wife ran for the Virginia Senate as a Democrat and received campaign contributions from the Virginia Democratic Party and a PAC run by the Democratic governor of Virginia.

    - In July 2016 the FBI, along with the CIA and other agencies, launched an investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian agents. McCabe was aware of this but never leaked a word about it.

    - In August 2016, a senior DoJ official expressed disapproval at the FBI's continued focus on the Clinton Foundation. McCabe said: "Are you telling me I need to shut down a validly predicated investigation?" The official replied: "No, of course not."

    - In October 2016, a week before the election, McCabe inspired an article in the WSJ describing dissension in the DoJ and FBI over how to proceed with the various Clinton investigations.

    So McCabe was part of an anti-Trump conspiracy. Right?

    Does it make a difference?

    We've lived thru Uranium One, Fusion GPS, Deep State, Steele dossier, Clinton Foundation, FBI Conspiracy, Clinton Emails, Clinton server, Seth Rich, McCabe, Grassley/Graham letter, secret societies, Strzok + Page, POTUS wants to know everything, Comey, Nunnes memos, FISA wardens, and before all that we had seven years of BenghaziGate

    It's like whacking a mole

    And still, even though the Conservatives are in charge of everything...they still cant find enough evidence of any wrong doing to do anything. Either the right is incredibly incompetent or they live in a complete fantasy land making up bad stuff about anyone who don't agree with their agenda, then mindlessly believing it. which is worse?

    Nope....just like you and BJ BILL....instead of telling the truth.....HE LIED to congress and the Inspector General. You can see the problem...right...err...left? When you are gossiping like you are now you can make up stories and expect others to believe it, but.....under oath you have sworn to tell the truth in order to protect the trust of the office THE PEOPLE have entrusted you to serve in an a-political manner. Its not rocket science....picking a favorite while supposedly serving ALL THE PEOPLE is against the rules of the DOJ and the rule of law which is pictured wearing a blindfold for a reason. You do know they have un-redacted copies of the emails? And you just repeated the lie told to the press by Andy instead of the actual content and context of the emails in the hands of both the IG and Congress....Right...err...left?

    The common OP for the left.....who think that if a lie is repeated often enough others will assume its the truth. They just double down on the lies. Its a simple thing also....IF ANDY or Comey is innocent, they should not worry about the DOJ breaking the practice of Lawyer/ Client privilege, he will be acquitted....UNLESS....he falls under the scope of his former pals in the DOJ and the Mueller investigation who is charged with investigating all things related to the 2016 election.

    Ain't KARMA a hell of a thing? Of course you see nothing wrong with allowing the agent whose wife is running for the senate and getting campaign (large sums) donations from an agent of the person under investigation.....leading the investigation? No conflict.....no ethics problem? Hell....look at Jeff Sessions...who thought he heard a mouse fart in Russia...recused himself because he was targeted as a member of Trump's team ....WHILE he was still serving under the duties of his elected office before the transition. That's ethics.....or an excuse to remain loyal to the swamp (the jury's still out on that one)....we will see how he does being charge of the amusing Cohen PUSSY investigation....after a year and a half in office he might just decide to engage in the Job he was hired to do....carry out the duties of the AG.

    Ralph, please read the OP. Which of McCabe's alleged misdeeds show that he was part of an anti-Trump conspiracy?

    July 2016: the FBI starts an investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian agents. McCabe never breathes a word about this.

    August 2016: a senior Justice Department official suggests that the FBI should ease up on its investigation of the Clinton Foundation in the run-up to the election. McCabe refuses.

    October 2016: McCabe inspires an article in the WSJ about disagreements in the DOJ and FBI over how to proceed with the Clinton investigations. (He is said to have misled the IG about this.)

    November 2016: Still no hint of the Trump-Russia investigation from McCabe, Comey or anyone else.

    False premise. You are forgetting the huge bureaucracy that makes up 99.999% of FedCo employment. Unionized. Difficult to fire. Self serving. Entitled. Power hungry, and protective of the power that they have.

    some parts you miss. The wife got most of her funding from the clinton allies and agents in the fbi were told to stand down in the investigation and was told it came from mccabe (part of the same article where the quote from mccabe comes from)

    Isn't this the sort of thing that fascist regimes do to their enemies?

    Do some research if you don't wanna sit thru Hannity. Sara Carter has her own independent work
    Circa News:

    Did McCabe issue ‘Stand-Down’ order on FBI Clinton Email Investigation?

    Why do you guys keep saying collusion? Not against the law as far as I know. Talking point maybe?

    Right....YOUR BIASED OPINION knows more than the office of the inspector general, congressional oversight, and ethics department of the FBI itself....all of which recommended criminal charges. Of course there are those little things called FACTS that get in the way of Andy and your innocent timeline. The fact that Hillary was never charged/indicted, never placed under oath, with a draft of the speech Comey gave declaring her innocent coming months before there was any attempt to act like they were investigating Hillary. That sure looks like someone followed orders from someone to STAND DOWN.

    And its only righteous that these assholes who were on the payroll of the DNC be prosecuted by the same DOJ they weaponized for political reasons. If McCabe had any honor and respect for the rule of law he would have recused himself from the Clinton investigation (my bad.....matter) when his wife accepted campaign funds funneled through the Clinton Machine. Just like you these people assumed they were just to smart to be caught in act of using the DOJ as a fascist arm of the DNC. You can keep repeating the parroted talking points and lies coming from those who would defend such fascist acts but that propaganda will not stop THE FACTS in EVIDENCE from existing. When all those facts come to the surface you will find the paper trail leads directly to the Offices of both the Sec. of State and the office of the President during the last administration. This is only the beginning.

    Thankfully, at least for now, we still have the rule of law in this country.
