"In a recent conversation, Christopher A. Wray, the F.B.I. director, raised concerns about a forthcoming inspector general report examining the actions of Mr. McCabe and other senior F.B.I. officials during the 2016 presidential campaign, when the bureau was investigating both Hillary Clinton’s email use and the Trump campaign’s connections to Russia. In that discussion, according to one former law enforcement official close to Mr. McCabe, Mr. Wray suggested moving Mr. McCabe into another job, which would have been a demotion.
They were indeed trivial because they were about things that were not criminal acts. With regards to his employment and contacts with Russia - the FBI publicly stated that all of his conduct was lawful. So he made false statements about the CONTENT of conversations or claimed he didn't recall (Bizarrely one of the stipulations was that he falsely claimed he didn't remember - so now you can be witch-hunted by the FBI for a poor memory). If you don't remember something you don't remember it. Not a crime.
They also charged him with materially omitting information on his FARA registration statement.
Even though he was not working with the Turkish government, and the work he was doing benefitted BOTH US interests AND Turkish ones...the law requires registration only for work that PRINCIPALLY benefits the foreign government).
So now he wasn’t working with the Turkish government and registration is only required if it benefits the foreign government, what do you call the extraction of the opposing party from the US.
According to the above link, he announced is retirement back in December. He probably has enough leave now to take his leave out to retirement which is not unusual. The thoughts of getting him out of there aren't something that happened over night. Why are people frothing?
They don't go by facts, they like the alternative facts!
This is nothing more that Trump and his sheep are really salty they came to a conclusion that Hilary did not nothing. Now Salty Republicans just want to get back at these people who did not give her the death penalty and she should be 6ft to 8ft under already. This just more BS because they are in charge and more distraction of the Russian investigation nothing yet has work and nothing will work to stop it. This could possibly be obstruction of justice you remove the top guys investigating the Russian scandal and put in guys who will stop the investigation for good.
I trust Trey Gowdy, way more than I ever would Adam "flush that" Schiff.
There is no basis for denying him his pension where in the world did you get that from? Under FERS even if he was fired (which he wasn't) he would retain his pension.
You didn't know that Trump signed into law on Dec. 21st, the ability to RICO corruption allegation, seizure of all their assets, so building a defense is more difficult without high powered lawyers.
When your wife receives $700K from the Clintons to not prosecute her, when you illegally violate Americans privacy rights for political purposes, when you organize a secret society to make up fake crimes to try to overthrow the election results and get caught, there are consequences.
So now he wasn’t working with the Turkish government and registration is only required if it benefits the foreign government, what do you call the extraction of the opposing party from the US.
No, he was not working with the Turkish government, but rather with a Dutch company. And BTW, that isn't part of the charges or the plea. And that wasn't the activity for which he was engaged. So that would not trigger a FARA filing requirement.
Flynn's contract was to do investigative research on a radical islamist living in the United States.
