Andrew McCabe’s lawyers wrote to federal prosecutors Thursday urging them not to keep pursuing charges citing media reports that speculate he would not be indicted.

If a grand jury does not indict, prosecutors may ask to convene another grand jury. But it is also a long-standing Justice Department rule that no U.S. attorney should move forward with a case unless prosecutors have a reasonable chance of getting a conviction."We believe that given the length of this investigation, and the resources devoted to it, this is not a case where authorizing resubmission of the case to a grand jury is consistent with this standard.

The report led to McCabe's firing without a pension in March 2018 by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The investigation's critics and McCabe supporters have said he has been treated unfairly by those who wish to retaliate against him for his role in the the Justice Department's investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

McCabe sued the FBI and the Justice Department in August, claiming that his firing from the FBI was part of the Trump's"unconstitutional plan and scheme to discredit and remove DOJ and FBI employees who were deemed to be his partisan opponents because they were not politically loyal to him."Julia Ainsley is a correspondent covering the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice for the NBC News Investigative Unit.

It’s not true he was fired “without a pension” Please correct your story.

Trump using the DOJ to go after what he views as political enemies.

And all they have to do is show insight how many times the lame Stream media has gotten it wrong to show that they get it wrong and they got it wrong with McCabe!

So what! Everybody knows the lame Stream media’s Fake news!

Judge says he will be indicted your fakd news

Hahaha ahhh. NO!

Look how quickly the jackals in this thread are to turn on someone who has dedicated most of his life to serving his country in the FBI. What have you done for your country lately?

He did his job to the best of his ability. No one can work with DT. Doesn’t even know his kid’s name

Oh sure. That will really get Trump and Barr’s attention. And empathy!!!

'McCabe's lawyers cited media reports, including articles in the New York Times and the Washington Post, that speculated the grand jury had failed to indict him' Translation: McCabe's lawyers circulated rumors to the media and then used those rumors in an effort to influence DOJ

You can be sure if McCabe is indicted, he will bring a whole bunch of co-conspirators down with him. To save his own ass he will make a deal and testify against his cohorts. There is no honor among thieves. This will lead to the biggest story of the century.

It’s the good ol’ Fusion GPS shuffle!

Ha he is getting scared. Liberal Media will work overtime trying to protect him. Lock him up

Ahahahah....McCabe is going down. No matter how much his attorneys cry.
