The Washington Post reports the Trump Administration may indict former Acting FBI director Andrew McCabe. The Post reports The Department of Justice “authorized charges” but it’s still unclear what will happen next. Watergate special prosecutor Nick Akerman says the “optics are absolutely terrible” after Trump asked for McCabe to be indicted “politicizing” the case.

Trump DOJ May Indict FBI Official Who Ran Russia Probe | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
When you start eating your own, it’s a sign that you are a failed state.
Betty Lonv Robert Mueller didn’t sound like he was aware he was part of an investigation 😂
whatapptvgirlshowhd.info/_dwenm7hedgv
Jonathan Sterling please stop to emberrass yourself. 🤣🤣🤣
@Betty Lonv you are 1 moron
McCabe is a dirty cop … He’s not “our own” .. He’s a partisan Democratic operative who committed Felonies for political purposes. He’s going to prison.
America is NUTS !
Trump 2020 KAG
U better figure out what side dude … We all waver but right now , decide
@William Kimmons about time
Insanity. America is being devoured by the horror that is Trumpism. Hold on tight <3
Linder Letter DOJ Policy says otherwise.
Trump didn’t create the hate in the left. He exposed it.
Only five more years little buddy
USA – you will never be the same after Trump.
His presidency will forever taint american history.
@Fred P True.
We were never economically the same after Reagan. We were never the same after Iraq, because of Bush II, the Republicans Strike Back.
Public outcry has meant jack squat since Nixon. Every Republican president in the last half century except for maybe Bush Sr. has torn bloody scars into this country.
@ambrosia7780 If America survives him.
Yes, that’s the idea. “The same” as Barry and Hillie made it is not making America great, it is making America a banana republic like Venezuela. But America will eventually succumb to globalism, socialism, and modern day feudalism, Trump merely delayed it long enough that we people who who were fortunate enough to live through the days when America was truly great and proud of it will not have to witness the shame and agony of her demise as brainwashed simpletons like you surrender your pride, freedom and dignity for what… a mess of pottage.
It’s time to puree the mango menace
Longhaired Granpa you know what? We may not agree politically but I at least applaud your actually decent joke instead of reverting to “drumpf” or “tRump”
Lol, “…the mango menace”! Good one.
If Trump is the mango menace then I guess Hillary is the Loser Boozer…
Too busy enjoying the Trump derangement syndrome liberal tear Niagara falls !!!! ,😊
You’ve been saying that for 4 years. And you don’t even have a big enough blender yet.
McCabe said if he goes down he’s taking people with him
@Carolina Schwendener Yeah, but you also predicted Cankle’s would win in 2016 so……
@Carolina Schwendener And you predicted Mueller would take him down too. You have 0 credibility.
@Carolina Schwendener And that Russian conspiracy theory isn’t looking to good for you guys now either! It’s kinda coming back to bite you. Lol
Let’s hope so… I hope he takes all his dirty FBI/DOJ cronies with him to prison.
The press sold out when it sided with the GOP and their unconstitutional Unitary Executive theory. If it weren’t for the unconstitutional OLC opinion, we wouldn’t have all this corruption. While I’m grateful for as much as Mueller did, he did a great disservice to the Constitution, The People, domestic peace, and national security by not making a charging decision on Obstruction of Justice and Witness tampering. … Mueller should have charged conspiracy or accessory to conspiracy as well. Trump was warned that it was illegal for his presidential campaign to solicit support from foreign interests before July 27, 2016
Im thinking this is payback for the investigation for doing his job.
It’s payback for trying to overthrow a sitting president
Doing his job? Um ok. Now Barr gets to do his job 😂
McCabe obtained warrants with knowingly false documents.. Fraud against the FISA court. McCabe lied to Federal Investigators.. a felony. None of that is payback.. it’s uncovering his crimes against the American people.
Then you are an Imbecile
This has stench of Trump and Bill Barr all over it.
Or it is what it is
McCabe is a dirty cop. Lied to Federal Investigators.. a felony. Committed fraud against a FISA court by obtaining warrants with knowingly false documents.
Yet another thing I predicted three years ago. Just a couple more and I’ll have the gambit. The big one is trump not wanting to leave office.
We all know thats gonna happen. He wont concede because the minute he does, he will be in cuffs. That day should be an annual holiday from then on. We will then give him the massive parade he wants with prison themed floats and everything! Mardi gras will have nothing on this.
Squirlly Squirl you guys have cute little dreams. What are the crimes again in your fantasy? Is it still obstruction charges that Mueller said under oath didn’t impede the investigation? Or the financial crimes that you think he just had to have committed 😂
@Robert Swims pence is too hawkish for centrists imo. Tucker 2024?
“Trump DOJ May Indict FBI Official Who Ran Russia Probe”
If that is not the most watered down headline ever.
They’re protecting McCabe. As usual
I have no doubt in my mind that this is the “tyrannical government” that our founding fathers wanted us to have a “well regulated militia” to fight against.
If he gets indicted where will it stop, America is crumbling before our eyes.
It won’t stop until he is indicted as he rightly deserves! This nightmare won’t be over until he is removed from office . It cannot happen soon enough!
I remember when Republicans were against politicizing the justice department. But that was when Obama was in office.
No ones politicizing anything. This guy actually needs to go to jail. Not just him but many more. This is one of the main reasons Ttump got elected, to drain the swamp and put the criminals in jail
@Steve Banks : and now tRUMP has swollen the swamp with his own criminal buddies… or haven’t you noticed how many have been indicted with crimes and gone to jail? Never before in the history of any of our presidents have we seen behavior like this ts where a president appoints criminals in his very own cabinet. NEVER. Not even with Nixon!
@Catherine S. Todd Who? Name somebody. Not Flynn because Flynn will be out soon enough, charges about to be dropped. Everyone else was charged with crimes NOT relating to Russia. There were no RUSSIA RELATED arrest and/or convictions.
The whole Mueller Investigation was a fishing expedition that came up empty, which is why your dems are scared to impeach. They know they have nothing. So you talk of arrest and prosecutions, well enjoy the show because Trump is on the offense now and the real arrest for real crimes are about to begin.
Steve Banks …You reek of blatant, unabashed, IGNORANCE. Sad.
@Steve Banks said, “Who? Name somebody. Not Flynn because Flynn will be out soon enough, charges about to be dropped. Everyone else was charged with crimes NOT relating to Russia. There were no RUSSIA RELATED arrest and/or convictions.”
*1. Any credible, verifiable evidence that the charges against Flynn are about to be dropped?*
*2. READ.*

A court case means evidence. This is bluster, DOJ lawyers have to know they have no leg to stand on.
Except his sworn testimony to the IG. But that won’t hold up in court 🙄
the demented waste-of-skin is just doing what his pal
#happyvlad does…
what’s your beef??
talk about russian oligarchs…
people in glass houses
Sacklers, Kochs, Mercers, need I go on?
Ordinarily a indictment against McCabe would be thrown out, I am not so sure anymore. There are too many wacko Trump judges now in federal courts
Leo Peridot McCabe admitted to lying and requested to change his testimony after being caught. I know he’s a lier but I actually believe him when he is talking about being a lier 😂 he’s screwed and Comey is in much bigger trouble. He lied in FISA court multiple times and there is concrete evidence he knowingly lied.
@M Murph So you believe a self remitted liar. It certainly explains why you fondle over Trump so much.
I”ll never understand why people like you don’t hold your president to the same standards. Where I come from we call that hypocrisy. In plain english, you are brainwashed.
Leo Peridot hypocrisy would be thinking charging Trump associates is fair but not others. Hypocrisy would be thinking Trump obstructed justice because he was extremely angry over false accusations but Hillary didn’t obstruct by smashing cell phones. It’s so bizarre that your side doesn’t see their own hypocrisy
Leo Peridot by the way I think McCabe is a liar because he lied. I could care less about anything he said. He deserves to go to prison for politicizing the FBI. Maybe Comey can be his cell mate. If you would stop wanting to believe your own truth just research the information that has been declassified. It’s not right what the FBI and intelligence agencies did to Trump. If it was done by the Bush administration when Obama ran you would be outraged
@M Murph Are you seeing your side’s hypocrisy?
Pot meet kettle.
🗣️it’s about time let’s build a gallows 🇺🇸
Hang em high!
*The optics on this* buzzword. Everyone are opining on the optics of it…..
He lied to the FBI four times others have been prosecuted and/or are in jail for the same thing why should he get a pass
happy cat so what about Session, he fired him and he lied under oath. Your double standard is flagrant🤔
Hillary comes to mind on the subject of who gets a pass, Sessions should’ve been prosecuted if he broke the law I agree
happy cats meaning Trump right? Lol
I seen a comment in here that said McCabe would look good in stripes u know who else would look good in stripes? Pres. Orange one aka trump 💩🐀😠
