Andrew McCabe won't be charged for FBI role in Russia inquiry

Bart Jansen, Kevin Johnson and Kristine PhillipsWASHINGTON – Federal prosecutors will not file criminal charges in a leak investigation of Andrew McCabe, ending a case that has hung over the former deputy FBI director for two years.

The investigation into McCabe stemmed from a Justice Department Inspector General’s report that found he improperly authorized a leak about a federal investigation into the Clinton Foundation in the final weeks of the 2016 presidential campaign. Investigators concluded he displayed a lack of candor when asked about the leak.In a statement, McCabe attorneys Michael Bromwich and David Schertler said:"At long last, justice has been done in this matter.

The decision caps a series of accusations of wrongdoing by the FBI's top leaders in 2016. Internal investigators have faulted McCabe and Comey for violating Justice Department rules in the final months of an election in which federal agents were investigating both major-party candidates. Lower-level FBI staffers were fired or reassigned.

Investigators determined that McCabe authorized associates to tell The Wall Street Journal about an Aug. 12 call between him and the principal associate deputy attorney general. The call effectively confirmed the existence of the Clinton Foundation investigation, which Comey had refused to do. McCabe filed a lawsuit in August challenging his dismissal, alleging he was fired because he refused to cater to Trump’s “unlawful whims.” McCabe's abrupt termination came after he had announced his intention to resign and days before his retirement benefits would have kicked in.

But internal FBI documents showed that McCabe didn't oversee the Clinton Foundation investigation while his wife was running for office, and he didn't have a conflict of interest.

CEO Of Robotics Corporation Tells Sobbing Andrew Yang That He Was His Greatest CreationWASHINGTON—Stroking his hair as the former presidential candidate fell to his knees in despair, Professor Elijah Tresswell, CEO of Tresswell Robotics, reportedly told a sobbing Andrew Yang Wednesday that he was his greatest creation. “I understand that this must be quite a shock to you, Andrew, but all your memories from your life before the campaign were simply constructed narratives implanted into your neural processor,” said Tresswell, urging Yang to take pride in the tremendous technological advances that he’d helped bring into existence. “I’ve watched you with such delight as, with each presidential debate, you became more sophisticated, more emotive, more human. Don’t fret, my sweet Andrew, for though you failed to become the nominee, you have achieved something far greater, my son.” At press time, an anguished Yang had reportedly crushed Tresswell’s skull with his bare hands before fleeing through the rain-drenched streets of D.C.
