Last Minute Appeal Denied!

US Attorney Jessie Liu has formally recommended charges be leveled at Russia hoax co conspirator Andrew McCabe. But that is not the worst of McCabes news today. The Justice Department has denied a last minute appeal from lawyers for the CNN contributor and former FBI agent. Fox News reports: “McCabe — the former deputy and acting director of the FBI — appealed the decision of the U.S. attorney for Washington all the way up to Jeffrey Rosen, the deputy attorney general, but he rejected that request, according to a person familiar with the situation.”

The former Fed faces potential charges of misleading statements regarding the Hillary Clinton investigation. McCabe was found to have issued multiple statements to investigators regarding a media disclosure, and his role in it. The leak to the Wall Street Journal involved an FBI probe into the Clinton Foundation. It is said to have been a self serving story. Also from Fox News: “The report says that McCabe authorized the leak and then misled investigators about it, leaking in a way that did not fall under a ‘public interest’ exception.”

The email from the Department of Justice, as noted by a source close to McCabe’s legal team, stated in part, “The Department rejected your appeal of the United States Attorney’s Office’s decision in this matter. Any further inquiries should be directed to the United States Attorney’s Office.”

Fox News notes: “The IG report faulted McCabe for leaking information to then-Wall Street Journal reporter Devlin Barrett for an Oct. 30, 2016 story titled ‘FBI in Internal Feud Over Hillary Clinton Probe.’ The story — written just days before the presidential election – focused on the FBI announcing the reopening of the Clinton investigation after finding thousands of her emails on a laptop belonging to former Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner, who was married to Clinton aide Huma Abedin.” Stay tuned to New Right Network for further developments.
