The Justice Department on Thursday notified lawyers for former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe that they have rejected his appeal to avoid being criminally charged, according to a person close to his legal team. The move likely clears the way for him to be indicted for lying to federal agents.
The developments come about a month after McCabe sued the Justice Department and U.S. Attorney General William Barr, claiming his firing was unlawful. McCabe was ousted by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions last year after an internal investigation into his role in disclosing a Clinton Foundation probe to the media.
If trump and barr successfully politicize the justice department, I will enjoy seeing heads explode when president warren pardons McCabe and rolls back everything trump has touched.

Do you mean like using false opposition research as justification to spy on the opposing party's presidential campaign?
McCabe Appeal to Avoid Indictment Rejected by Justice Department
So now we are introducing banana republic style political purges?
Trump didn't like it when McCabe told the Truth, so he has to try to crush him.

Crushed? How so?
Show us how McCabe has been crushed, and how do you come by that expression? Who told you he has been crushed?

Are you saying that Trump somehow got the FBI to investigate McCabe before Trump was even president?
You are the one making the claim, not I.
When did Inspector General Michael Horowitz recommend that McCabe be investigated on suspicion of lying? Show us the date the investigation of McCabe started, and the date a grand jury was impaneled.
Show us that McCabe was investigated for the reason an indictment has recently been sought (suspicion of lying) before 2017. It should be easy for you, if you know your facts.

That's quite a conspiracy theory you are pushing there.

You are (typically for a Trump follower) conflating all kinds of things to make a narrative you wish to believe.
