Grand Jury Considers Charges Against Former FBI Deputy Director McCabe

A grand jury has for months been looking into former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s conduct and statements, NPR and othersreported Thursday evening.

Prosecutors impaneled the grand jury following a recommendation from within the Justice Department. The grand jury has called multiple witnesses as part of its efforts to determine whether to recommend charges.

McCabe took control of the FBI after President Donald Trump dismissed former director James Comey in May 2017, and McCabe was fired by the DOJ in March for "lack of candor" following several lies and misconduct. The Washington Post previously reported that the Office of Inspector General had found McCabe lied repeatedly, "three of them under oath, and he approved a media disclosure to advance his personal interests over those of the Justice Department."

President Trump has repeatedly attacked McCabe and how the former FBI official has, in the president's view, escaped scrutiny from the DOJ and elsewhere.

Nothing will happen. Hand picked prosecutors will tank the case. Media will take it as a victory for months.. I would be arrested and charged but two sets of laws.

A Grand jury in Washington D.C.? No wonder Democrats rarely get prosecuted for criminal acts. They will cover for each other no matter what laws have been broken.
