There is a “double standard [that] drives Americans crazy” in comparing the treatment accorded former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and former national security adviser Michael Flynn for the same offense of lying, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said Tuesday on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends.”

Michael Horowitz, the inspector general (IG) for the Department of Justice (DOJ), released his internal report Friday reviewing the department’s investigation into 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server to conduct official business while secretary of state.

Horowitz concluded that McCabe lied four times to federal investigators about leaking information to The Wall Street Journal about the Clinton probe, a conclusion that formed the basis of Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ decision last month to fire McCabe only hours before his planned retirement with a full federal pension was set to begin.

Flynn briefly served in President Donald Trump’s administration until he resigned in February 2017, after reports revealed that he had misrepresented his contact with a Russian ambassador to Vice President Mike Pence. Flynn also pled guilty in December 2017 to lying to the FBI during special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into allegations of Trump-Russia collusion.

Mainstream media outlets and liberal pundits obsessed over Flynn’s downfall in stark contrast to their comparative lack of interest in McCabe’s four lies. Jordan condemned the “double standard” he saw between how McCabe and Flynn were treated.

“Andy McCabe doesn’t have a whole lot of credibility, either,” Jordan said. “And I think as you look at all this, the thing that bothers Americans so much — and certainly bothers the president, bothers me — is the double standard.”

“I mean, Mike Flynn, while not under oath, makes a false statement to the FBI and gets indicted. Andy McCabe lies four times to the FBI, twice under oath to Michael Horowitz, and nothing happens to him,” Jordan continued. “That’s the kind of stuff that drives Americans crazy.”

Although McCabe hasn’t yet faced any legal consequences as Flynn has, some lawmakers predict that he may soon face them.

“If I were going to make a prediction, I would expect there to be a criminal referral in this matter, and I would expect that Andrew McCabe will be facing the same types of charges that Michael Flynn, Rick Gates and George Papadopoulos are facing,” Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) said Monday on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom.”

Flynn, Gates and Papadopolous all pled guilty to making false statements to the FBI during its Russia probe. Ratcliffe said that he “certainly” believes McCabe should suffer the same consequences.

“Again, this is the Department of Justice investigating itself and finding misconduct on not one, not two, not three but four different occasions, some of those under oath,” Ratcliffe said. “That, I believe, even though I’m not in the business of prosecuting people anymore, I believe in this case [it] will be a prosecutable crime.”

Jordan, a member of both the House Committee on the Judiciary and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, noted that Horowitz is expected to be asked to testify before the Oversight Committee.

“Michael Horowitz, I mean, we got his report on Andy McCabe, which I thought was very good, shows all of the things that Mr. McCabe was up to,” Jordan said. “Mr. Horowitz is well-respected. We’re looking forward to his big report.”

The IG’s final report on the DOJ and FBI investigations of Clinton, along with allegations of collusion between the Russian government and President Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign, was expected to be released in April, but it’s now thought to be heading for a May release, Jordan said.

“I look forward to questioning Mr. Horowitz. More importantly, I look forward to getting the report and [finding] out what he’s discovered over the last year,” Jordan said.
