I remember reading a rundown of the case and it didn’t sound like la slam dunk criminal case against McCabe for lying, that may have been a consideration.For lying to the FBI. That’s it.
Ever consider he did more than just lie?
Maybe it’s just me, but I think criminal investigations of the top management of the FBI is pretty damn unusual.I remember reading a rundown of the case and it didn’t sound like la slam dunk criminal case against McCabe for lying, that may have been a consideration.
Usually if a prosecutor has a charge they go ahead and bring it to add leverage. Unusual, IME, to decline a charge if you’re planning to bring something else later (see e.g. Manafort).
Ive heard the same and that may be where the difference is. FBI senior leadership = high profile. Bringing any case sets expectations and nobody wants to oversell and under deliver.Not a lawyer so I don’t have a clue.
I heard Bongino say he thought this was a loser case similar to the Greg Craig case that the DOJ already lost.
What about that would change the practice of how you prosecute the cases?
They usually don’t.As an engineer, if there were allegations of questionable integrity about data presented to me, I'd have a hard time justifying the analysis of that data. I would think prosecutors would have similar moral issues about potentially ruining a person if they had doubts about the process that alleged the person had done wrong.
Sounds like you are from the other side of that legal fence.
I've always heard panic can make you go full triggered.
