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...

yWhat may be the biggest part of the agreement, DOJ is referring Raytheon to DOD & other agencies to begin a review to determine if Raytheon or individuals involved should be suspended from government contracts & debarred from future contracts!
So in addition to the corruption & bribery, the risks of Raytheon committing crimes to conceal corruption related to arms sales to foreign governments is a major factor in this case.
Opens contractors up to other off the books deals.
Raytheon as a corporation has now flipped on their executives who made these decisions. Which means Raytheon can only survive as a business & defense contractor if it provides all the receipts for criminal prosecutions.
Raytheon will pay $950 million to settle the allegations against the company for several different criminal schemse the company participated in.
Raytheon accepted a deferred prosecution agreement that becomes a confession at trial if they don't cooperate! justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/r…
The 1st set of charges are in EDNY. Bribing Qatari officials for defense contracts.
Then conspiracy by not report the bribes on the paperwork requesting permission to export the arms to Qatar. This sets a precedent for EVERY arms export deal!
Mayor Adams indicted by the DOJ following an FBI investigation.
And people still want to side with the Swamp against th FBI & DOJ.
Why could they still believe #ButNothingsHappening after 14 years of indictments & convictions?
Remember the researchers at Georgia Tech who were getting paid by the DOD & USAF to spy on Trump & feed that info into Hillary's oppo research campaign?
DOJ joined a lawsuit accusing GT on behalf of those researchers of lying to DOD about compliance with cybersecurity procedures.
So the cybersecurity people accessing NSA data to spy upon Donald Trump for the Pentagon were willfully avoiding compliance with security proposals. Then pressuring GT to lie to the DOD & submit false audits claiming that their computers were secure.
#ButNothingsHappening
I know some people still believe Hillary's Russia Hoax that told them FBI was investigating & spying on Trump.
How long are you going to continue to believe Hillary's smokescreen & help hide that it was her campaign & the Pentagon that spied on Trump?
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...
