Oh, for fuck’s sake. This is bullshit.
So now we’re entering an era of political crimes?
Burning question remains, what type of criminal charges? What law did the lawman break?
There is a cardinal rule of the Universe. Those who tried to screw over HRC get their comeuppance in some form.
My bet is that charges are never filed. This is to give Trump something to tweet about and maybe save Sessions’ job.
Who thought this was a good idea? Has there been a problem with high morale at the Bureau?
I hope that McCabe’s lawyers rip Sessions a new one. Could they depose Sessions in a law suit or trial?
Does the Inspector General have a name?
Michael Horowitz.
Lying to federal investigators, supposedly.
Sure.
Depose Sessions? Wouldn’t that be a dream!
I think some of the charges in the IG report depended on Comey vs McCabe memory of events. So most likely would be deposing Comey, maybe making him come clean about the Giuliani leaks.
But, yeah. Like everyone else I suspect this is just smokescreen.
Totally. They though Trump was going to be grateful…talk about miscalculation.
No sympathy for McCabe or SOB Comey.
Well, if this is where the bar is set for a criminal referral for misleading federal investigators, there’s going to be a shitload of Trump Team members and, hopefully, members of Congress with some worries of their own.
This smells strongly of both fish and manure.
Next up:
Traditional Soviet Show Trials.
Guilty
That’s all …
Just Guilty
Lordy!
And the obstruction of justice and witness tampering continues, even coming from the head of DOJ.
One of the reasons why Trumpists are likely giddy by both the referral and the report, is due to Horowitz being an Obama appointee, so Trump can’t get any supposed blame.
Now Shulkin was an Obama appointee, but hey, tomato, tomatoe
This is indeed the purest bullshit, but absolutely to be expected. The GOP took a completely bogus charge of the FBI attacking their (i.e. right wing) interests and manipulated them (most spectacularly Comey) into real attacks on the Democrats. This is what you do when you’re so vile nobody really wants you on your merits.
