Fox -The Justice Department’s internal watchdog reportedly has sent a criminal referral for fired FBI official Andrew McCabe to the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington.
The move follows a recent DOJ inspector general report that found McCabe leaked a self-serving story to the press and later lied about it to then-Director James Comey and federal investigators, prompting Attorney General Jeff Sessions to fire him on March 16.
The Washington Post reported that the IG referred the finding that McCabe misled investigators to the top federal prosecutor in D.C. to examine whether he should be charged.
Representatives with the Justice Department, inspector general’s office and U.S. attorney’s office all declined to comment.
Republican Rep. Mark Meadows backed the move in a tweet Thursday afternoon.
Oh goodie. A referral has been sent. Now will Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny take him to prison?
If you haven’t already read the referral letter sent to the DoJ, FBI and Huber, strongly encourage you to do so. It’s not long and names the specific statutes for each referral. The introduction also contains a warning to each agency/IG that we are watching what is done to look into each referral. Gaetz et al wrote it in this detailed way in order that the FBI, DoJ, Huber cannot wiggle out of any of these statutes or come to a vague, non-conclusion. Gaetz laid it all out on Dobbs last night. I’m very encouraged by it all.

I hope Jeff Sessions isn’t still hiding under his desk.
Odds are they won’t do jack fucking shit about that prick McCabe. The FBI won’t even forward Comey’s memos.
What about Holder, Lynch, Hillary, Comey and the rest?
Or are they just going for low hanging fruit thinking that will satisfy the non-establishment masses.
If you need a criminal, will they refer McCabe?
The question will be whether McCabe has enough on the others to be able to make a deal with DOJ. If not then he ought to start figuring out now how much of that FBI pension can be deposited in the prison commissary. As far as nothing happening on this one you can bet that this will be in the news evceryday and any attempt by the FBI, DOJ or anyone else to bury it will be reported. I agree with Geoff C, Saltine.
Read the letter — it will answer many of your questions.

“He who expects nothing
can never be disappointed.”
Referrals don’t amount to much without a prosecutor taking charges to a grand jury. Then, after a ‘true bill’, that prosecutor has to determine if they want to actually prosecute.
Seems like just more memo and report passing and filing.
Y”all need to go spend 4 or 8 hours at the Treehouse and do some reading.
This is not going away. If it does we all need to find a bunker to go live in.
From Geoff C. :”This is not going away.”
I figure it has an 85% chance of doing exactly that. Nobody in Washington wants this aired out. The MSM will NOT cover the proceedings.
Nothing will be radically changed from any of this. All of us here want the assholes pilloried. It ain’t going to happen. Adjust your expectations or suffer immense disappointment.
