Well it appears Andrew McCabe's defense attorneys have failed to convince US Attorney Jessie Liu to not indict their client. So they have gone over her head to the new Deputy AG Rosen in an attempt to persuade him! #ButNothingsHappening
Had they been successful in convincing DAG Rosen to not indict McCabe, I doubt we would see NYTs printing this story.
Or are they setting us up to create another imaginary bad guy at DOJ? If there are no charges, the Swamp protector allegation will be used again...
Of course, NYTs is setting up the narrative that if McCabe is charged it will be political by prosecutors trying to please Trump. Probably a major reason why CNN hired McCabe to set the narrative that McCabe is being persecuted not prosecuted.
Now this is interesting, a DOJ prosecutor allegedly quit the case over how it was being managed. Were they Swampy trying & failing to protect McCabe?
And who is the 'key witness' that might hurt the prosecution case? Did someone lie to the grand jury to protect McCabe?
We often see these kind of stories a day or two before DOJ indicts someone from the Swamp, so I am hoping this is very good news! They are just trying to get their spin applied before anyone reads the indictment!
It is not a coincidence that the DOJ OIG interviewed McCabe & recorded it on audio in the days before the White House was debugged & McCabe lost authority as Acting Director of the FBI!
The tapes will be damning as described in the OIG report.
Well, we get the identity of not 1 but 2 DOJ prosecutors who left over the case!
Kamil Shields and David Kent. Time to do some digging but Kent's disappearance on the eve of indictment is very interesting...
Looks like Lisa Page is the "key witness" described above. Her 'damaging testimony' is that McCabe had no reason to lie as he was authorized to make leaks as Deputy Director. But he was not leaking to help the FBI per OIG reporting.
Yep, their only defense is the perception that McCabe was accused & fired for partisan reasons. Good thing everyone thinks the FBI & DOJ are out to get Trump or a jury might actually believe them!
Why is McCabe being prosecuted & Comey is not? Because McCabe was part of the coup & Comey was the one who was not!
Why was McCabe lying to Comey? To hide the coup & corruption of the Clinton Foundation case while keeping Comey available as a scapegoat!
It is disgraceful, unless you are a completely partisan hack...
Not finding much on the 2 US Assistant US Attorneys
Miss Shields returned to her previous law firm in 2019 after leaving the US Attorney's office in DC.
Focuses including public corruption, FCPA foreign corruption cases & financial services fraud cases.
Sounds familiar...

For those who don't understand the law in this case, Congress has authorized the Attorney General to specially appoint lawyers & conduct legal proceedings at the same level as US Attorneys without confirmation. It's specifically authorized.
While Canon ignores Section 515, it specifically authorizes AGs to appoint special attorneys to prosecute criminal cases & run grand juries same as a US Attorney can.
She claims the law does not authorize the AG to appoint a special counsel with the authority of a US Attorney.
Julian Assange flying to the North Marianas to plead guilty to espionage.
Gets a 62 month prison sentence, but will be released with time served for his 5 years in British prison.
The choice of the Northern Marianas Islands is unusual.
That US territory is a hub for Chinese money laundering to the US & to US politicians. Wonder if he will testify to a US grand jury while he is there? Or has he already done so by Zoom?
The Chinese have been buying off Swampy politicians on Pacific islands that are US territories to infiltrate them to get into the US financial system.
The Northern Marianas, the Solomons, & many others...
Beny Steinmetz connects to so much corruption around the world!
Steinmetz was arrested 3 years ago shortlay after FBI seized Hunter & Rudy's electronic devices including communications with his lawyer former FBI Director Louis Freeh.
#ButNothingsHappening
On behalf of Steinmetz & other clients, Freeh tried to gain access to Trump & Biden through Guiliani & Hunter. Freeh marked all his emails as Attorney Client privileged in an effort to protect them. DOJ needed filter teams or a special master to read them.
Exclusive: The case of the Michael Cohen condo just got a whole lot more interesting!
I found an online report on the resident. It isn't an embassy or a diplomat.
It appears to be a couple who are financial reporters for CNBC & Bloomberg?
It was well publicized that Michael Cohen's condo at 111 Murray Street is 19West or 19W.
A condo that he rented on 11/27/18 prior to pleading guilty in SDNY on 11/29/18.
The website identifies as a resident of 19W Sara A Eisen, 39 formerly of Cincinatti, OH.
It appears to be Sara A. Eisen the co-host of CNBC's Squakbox. One of her associates listed on the website is her husband Matthew Levine. usphonebook.com/address/111-mu…
The majority of Daszak's funds came from DOD, but the previous investigations focused on Daszak taking money from NIH that prohibited him from conducting GoF work.
Work he did in Wuhan anyway & concealed it from NIH.
Daszak claimed he 'accidentally' conducted GoF work in Wuhan in 2018-2019. But he concealed this from NIH until 2021 even though his grants required immediate reporting of 'accidental' GoF results.
US sanctions Russian Dmitrii Aleksandrovich Beloglazov, the owner of the financial firm Titul for colluding with Putin's Oligarch Oleg Deripaska to sell his shares in an Austrian construction firm!
