Quote:Andrew McCabe, the former FBI deputy director fired for leaking to the media and who has become an antagonist of President Trump, will join CNN.

McCabe has spent the past year defending his actions at the FBI, writing a book, and pushing for Trump to be removed from office. McCabe joins another controversial Obama-era figure, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, as a contributor at the network.

McCabe filed suit in federal court earlier in August accusing Trump of causing his subordinates at the Justice Department to participate in an “unconstitutional plan and scheme” to have him fired. McCabe was fired the same day he planned to retire.

The department's Inspector General Michael Horowitz released a 39-page report in February 2018 detailing multiple instances where McCabe “lacked candor” with then-FBI Director James Comey and with investigators related to him greenlighting the disclosure to the media of sensitive information related to the FBI’s investigation into matters related to Hillary Clinton.

Comey says that he did not give McCabe permission to leak to the media. Sessions fired McCabe the next month, stating that McCabe “made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor — including under oath — on multiple occasions.”

McCabe called for impeachment proceedings against Trump on CNN in June, saying an inquiry is the only way Congress could hear important testimony.

McCabe is likely still being scrutinized by Horowitz as part of the DOJ watchdog's investigation of allegations of abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The surveillance warrant applications targeting Trump associate Carter Page required the approval of top members of the FBI, the DOJ, and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, and the current and former government officials involved will likely face tough questions over their actions. McCabe was involved in the FISA approval process.

Former FBI Deputy General Counsel Trisha Anderson testified to the House Judiciary and Oversight committees last year that McCabe and then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates approved the application before it got to her desk, an unusual process that led her to not second-guess her higher-ups.

Horowitz’s report is expected out in late September or early October.

McCabe perfectly embodies CNN’s political viewpoint and I’m glad to see that they have found each other.

Yet CNN ridicules FOX for hiring Sarah Sanders, because she had "Credibility Issues."

Lies, leaks, misleading statements, fantasy conpsiracy theories. That's what McCabe and CNN do.

https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/08/a...d-justice/

Article contrasts the McCabe treatment with Papadopolous.

"...There is a great deal of anger out there. People see the kid-gloves approach to the Clinton-emails investigation, and they can’t square it with the aggression of the Trump–Russia probe. They see the laws contorted to let Mrs. Clinton slide, while the screws get put to Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort over the Logan Act and the Foreign Agent Registration Act – statutes the Justice Department almost never invokes.


They see the false-statements investigations of Andy McCabe and George Papadopoulos and think, “Hey, wait a second . . .”

“Equal justice under the law” is not supposed to be an aspiration or a quaint slogan. It is supposed to be a guarantee...."

What else might one expect from the Cabal News Network. Fk'n communists...

Pointing out that both networks are business model ($) first, informing the public and exhibiting good journalism practice a distant second.

Fair enough. I will add that the Fox business model is one that I have been suggesting since the 70s or 80s. With every other TV news network leaning left, there was a tremendous niche for a right-leaning news channel. I just wish I had had either the money to make it happen or the chance to convince a bunch of investors.

Keep telling yourself that, dude. Hell, McCabe may be prosecuted when the dust settles for his role in trying to take down the President of the United States.

They are, indeed, cut from the same moral/ethical cloth. As are CNN and FOX.

But Sanders held a position (Press Secretary) in which her loyalty to Trump (and secondly to the GOP) was openly acknowledged as a central part of her job. Trump’s partisan opponents (and anyone else) could and did offer immediate challenge/dispute to every public utterance she made. This is as it should be with all press-secretaries.

McCabe, OTOH, was able to conceal his political agenda behind the prestige of several high-executive positions within the FBI. He was able to exploit the “non-partisan” reputation of law-enforcement to twist public-perceptions of ongoing FBI investigations to suit his own ends. Even now, after many of his most egregious actions have been exposed (far from all of them, I’d wager) he still presents himself as a nonpartisan, politically-neutral observer concerned merely with the “rule of law”. So yeah, his lies and lack of integrity are much more offensive to me, and are much more damaging to the nation, than Sanders.

Wait, who is SHSanders? If it's who I think it is are you seriously trying to draw a relevant comparison here??

That's kind of a funny way to point that out. Comparing one, a disgraced top government official who was removed from his job to the other, a woman who served her position faithfully and removed herself from her job, is ludicrous. You could have made a more neutral effort but instead opted to disparage someone for whom no legal criticism can be applied. Smacks of passive-aggressive behavior to me.

Looks like a McCabe indictment is forthcoming. Story says that McCabe's lawyers recently met with DOJ attorneys who would be the ones bringing an indictment.

Not at all. Fox News is the most professional organization out there. You are confusing Infotainment (i.e. Tucker Carlson, Hannity) with the actual news. Fox keeps a delineation, unlike all the rest.
