Andrew McCabe is one step closer to a reckoning with justice.
The Department of Justice correctly rejected the equivalent of a Hail Mary appeal from McCabe’s lawyers that he not face criminal charges for lying. U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jessie K. Liu has recommended moving forward against the fired former FBI acting director. Presenting the case to a federal grand jury is likely imminent.
Lest we forget, McCabe has helped put people behind bars for lying. He should be held to the same legal standard.
In a scathing condemnation of McCabe last year, the Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general – a neutral investigator appointed by former President Barack Obama – concluded that McCabe “lacked candor” on four occasions when questioned by federal agents about leaking information to a reporter.
A lack of candor, mind you, is a polite way of saying McCabe lied – not once, but four times.
McCabe was appropriately fired from the bureau, and the inspector general promptly referred the case to the DOJ for potential criminal prosecution.
Federal prosecutors have spent the better part of 17 months evaluating the incriminating evidence. They have been more than fair in listening to the explanations and excuses offered by defense lawyers.
