The Reason Bill Barr Did Not Try to Prosecute Andrew McCabe

Amici,

If, as has been said, the whole "Trump Russia Hoax" was begun to hide the fact the Obama Administration had been mining the National Security Agency's database for political dirt, as Admiral Rogers discovered in 2016, it certainly seems to have also developed into a full coup d'état to remove Trump.

The recent, shocking news that the DOJ won't prosecute Andrew McCabe, a FBI high-level guy who actually confessed to lying, reveals a deeper problem.

So here's a great article here by "Sundance" on why Barr didn't prosecute McCabe, as in why he really could not do so: 

Basically, his argument goes thusly: the DOJ didn't prosecute McCabe for the same reason Jessie Liu didn't prosecute SSCI Director James Wolfe: both guys knew too much and would have revealed too much had they been formally prosecuted. They would have forced government bigshots to testify at their trials, and the whole rotten mess would have been exposed. For those who have forgotten, Wolfe, head of security at an important Senate committee, leaked the FISA material to his bed-partner journalist under orders from his Senator bosses, and McCabe would have brought down not only the FBI, but the DOJ, by revealing just high up the attempted coup against President Trump went. Bigshots throughout the government hierarchy were trying to stop and then remove President Trump. They can't let the extent of their actions be known.

As one commentator to the above-linked article, "Dutchman" summed it up (italics mine):

As I see it, Sundance is saying NOT that the prosecutions of McCabe and Wolfe can’t happen because they threaten the DOJ/FBI. He says such prosecutions threaten to expose a seditious conspiracy that involves ALL 3 BRANCHES of Government.
Executive; members of the Obama admon, up to Obama, AND career executive branch employees.
Judicial; the FISA court
Legislative; Leadership of BOTH parties, in BOTH Houses.

The evidence Republicans were ‘in on it’ can be seen by their actions, and inactions.

The Comment goes on in like vein. Or as "Sundance" of The Conservative Treehouse himself writes in the linked article:

When the prosecution of SSCI Director James Wolfe was being considered, AG Jeff Sessions was recused; the Robert Mueller probe was ongoing; and as a consequence Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein and U.S. Attorney for DC Jessie Liu were decision-makers.

I’m not going to repeat all the issues, you can re-read them HERE; however, the baseline is that Wolfe could not be prosecuted without running the risk of collapsing key institutions of the U.S. government. The consequences of a Wolfe prosecution were beyond the capacity of Rod Rosenstein, or the DOJ to handle. There would have been massive constitutional crises created and the literal definition of ‘sedition' was at the center of it.

Accepting the 2018 objectives from Rosenstein; and factually I doubt Jeff Sessions would have made a different decision even if he was not recused; when AG Barr takes the helm in February 2019 he is forced to carry-over those same objectives.

In essence, regardless of Bill Barr’s outlook or opinion of what took place, he had no alternative except to defend the previous decisions. As a result, Barr has no option except to protect Rod Rosenstein.

If former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe was ever to be prosecuted, the same issues that surfaced with James Wolfe would surface again. The actions by DAG Rosenstein in 2017 merged with the objectives of Andrew McCabe at the same time. 

Pretty grim, but it makes total sense.

Let me review some history, shall we?

Lyndon Johnson ran a pretty lawless administration. Jack Kennedy, too, remember he -- and Johnson? I'd have to look it up -- let the CIA try to assassinate Castro, and Kennedy did help in/lead to the assassination of the South Vietnamese president (and a Catholic!) Ngô Đình Diệm, on November 2, 1963 (20 days before JFK was hit, notice; how portentous was that?).

Then Nixon got (nearly) impeached for doing with private contractors in 1972 what Johnson had illegally did repeatedly with the FBI and the IRS when in 1964 LBJ spied on Goldwater, etc. Jimmy Carter was too moral for all of that, but Clinton and Obama had no such scruples. Remember when Nixon lost to Kennedy and wouldn't contest it back in 1960? Nixon said something like "People must not think their president is a crook", only to later be reduced himself to saying, "I am not a crook" thirteen years later. (There was some weakness, some indecisiveness, about Nixon; a character flaw not possessed by more ruthless people, such Johnson and Jack, the Clintons or Obama.)

"The Left" in the U.S. has a history of bringing down Republican presidents. Nixon had an overwhelming re-election in 1972, only to be ousted within two years, and all of his second, shortened, administration taken up with fighting the allegations that brought him down. (And let me repeat, Nixon did what LBJ did, but not as massively, and not using U.S. government agents. LBJ could get away with the great crime; Nixon, no way. Hypocrisy.) Ronald Reagan had an overwhelming re-election and his entire second term was taken up with the ridiculous "Iran-Contra Affair".

This time around, the Left is taking no chances, and have gone after Trump from the git-go.

But when the Left tried to unseat George W. Bush through electoral defeat in 2004, via the Texas Air National Guard "narrative", the "narrative makers" suddenly ran afoul an attack from a new quarter: the Internet and the "pajamas media." An irregular force of conservative citizen journalists used the new social media to stop the Left in its tracks. Ka-pow! The Left was, as the Irish say, "gobsmacked." Bush was re-elected, and with a national plurality of votes. The hold of the MSM and legacy media in general was broken! They still haven't quite figured that out. Or perhaps one should say, they still refuse to accept it.

Of course, McCain (McStain) and "Pierre Delicto" Romney were total campaign failures, but Trump beat all the next generation's McCain-Romney 2.0s.

The Left has, in response, gone completely mad.

So now Bill Barr and Rosenstein and God knows how many others are covering up yet another great U.S. government fiasco. This time a truly seditious one. Main players of the U.S. Federalis actively worked a coup d'état to prevent, then cancel, the presidency of Donald John Trump. These evil sods are desperately covering up for each other.

And here's that same Donald John Trump, the target of all their combined, focused, hate, who "tweets" at just the right moment, to millions of his followers, end-running completely around the legacy "narrative builders" in the MSM, to keep the heat on them all. It is great fun to watch, but in all seriousness, the coup has to be exposed. Left the chips fall where they may.

Fiat justicia ruat caelum.
