Crime & Punishment for the Deep State
"McCabe claimed he could not recall — despite the reported existence of documents with McCabe’s own signature on them establishing his knowledge of the dossier’s financing and provenance."
Newly released records obtained via a January 2019 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request provide a list of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) employees who were referred to the organization’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) for the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or classified information. It also shows the leniency given to the offenders:
-
An unidentified employee was fired. The case was closed in July 2016.
-
An unidentified employee was given a one-day suspension without pay. The case was closed in April 2016.
-
The following year, an unidentified employee received a five-day suspension without pay, and the case was closed administratively in April 2017.
-
An SES agent who “misused an FBI database, and provided sensitive information to a former FBI employee” was reported to have had as mitigation that he felt he “had the support of his Division to use his discretion.” OPR proposed a 15-day suspension, but the final decision was to give a letter of censure. This case was closed in June 2017.
-
An unidentified employee was fired. The case was closed in May 2018.
-
An unidentified employee was recommended for dismissal but received a 45-day suspension. The case was closed in October 2017.
-
An unidentified employee was given a 14-day suspension. The case was closed in March 2016.
-
An unidentified employee, who was cited for misuse of an FBI database and unauthorized disclosure of classified/law-enforcement sensitive/grand jury information, was given a 12-day suspension. The case was closed in January 2016.
-
An unidentified employee received a letter of censure. The case was closed in August 2016.
-
An unidentified employee was given a letter of censure. The case was closed in October 2016.
-
An unidentified employee was accused of “Investigative deficiency – improper handling of documents or property in the care, custody or control of the government; unauthorized disclosure – classified/law enforcement sensitive/grand jury information” and “failure to report – administrative.” It was proposed that they be given a 30-calendar day suspension without pay; the final decision from OPR was that they were given a 10-calendar day suspension without pay. This case was closed in February 2018.
-
An unidentified employee was fired. This case was closed in October 2017.
-
An unidentified employee was given a letter of censure. It was proposed that they be fired, but the final decision was a 60-day suspension without pay. The case was closed in January 2019.

Leaker & Liar Andrew McCabe
"On March 14, 2018, the FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility, citing the inspector general's conclusions, recommended that McCabe be fired. Attorney General Sessions announced at 10 p.m. on Friday, March 16, 2018, that he was taking the recommendation and firing McCabe. He cited the inspector general's report, which had not yet been publicly released, saying that "Mr. McCabe had made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor - including under oath - on multiple occasions."

Lenient treatment for all. BTW, former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was fired and referred for a criminal investigation, yet to date no prosecution has taken place. I guess the big hint on that was when his Lying under oath (4 times!) was referred to as "being less than candid." James Comey also leaked information and lied. George Papadopolous (the man who was used) supposedly lied about a date and he got jail time. Michael Flynn made some kind of plea bargain where he pled guilty to "making false statements" most likely to protect his son. Yet these monsters who ran the FBI ruthlessly railroaded and intimidated people in order to remove an elected President from office! This is why people like Comey had the unmitigated nerve to do what they did - because they thought they could get away with it and there wouldn't be much consequence if they didn't.
We need prosecutions. As Jerry Nadler keeps reminding us "nobody is above the law."

What is the 'deep state'?
No one has ever defined it.
There is only one "deep state" found and this article makes clear that it is the "deep state" of denial many conservatives employ when imagining the supposed machinations of the "establishment". This is pure tin foil hat conspiracy nonsense that they huddle in their hollars clutching their guns and bibles over like frightened little poorly educated mice who are so easily fooled and manipulated by their Republican masters.
Really?
Took less than two seconds to find.
Believed to be?
Who comprises the Deep State?
Only about a hundred times on here. I think it's kind of obvious, don't you?
FALSE: We already have criminal referrals and we are only at the beginning of 3 investigations and another (the IG's) which is about to release findings within a few weeks.
Are you denying that the Steele Dossier was used to obtain FISA warrants? Or that Comey & McCabe leaked and lied? Or that, as the AG recently stated there was spying on American citizens?
You are still in denial???
What are those criminal referrals?
It's helpful if you copy and paste what you are referring to. I have no clue what you're talking about.
You are so inquisitive, it seems. Do you have any curiosity about the 14 referrals made to the OPR?
I have....Look at the article....Right there....In front of your eyeballs.....see it?
I'm only gonna do it once (you should know this) - right from your beloved CNN:
"Washington (CNN)The Justice Department's inspector general referred its findings on former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to the US attorney's office in Washington for possible criminal charges associated with lying to internal investigators, according to a source familiar with the matter."
"While leaking non-classified information is generally not a crime in itself and the IG's investigation was not a criminal probe, lying to federal investigators is a crime.
"Last week, the IG issued a report finding that McCabe "lacked candor" on four occasions with internal investigators when discussing a Wall Street Journal article about the FBI's Clinton Foundation investigation, according to a copy of the report obtained by CNN."
cnn.com/2018/04/19/politics/justice-mccabe-criminal-referral/index.html
Yet you have never stated who comprises the deep state.
All of those referrals are unidentified.
So I take it with a grain of salt.
Post 1.1.2 does a fair job. Still can't comprehend?
All of those referrals are unidentified.
Their identities were protected. Are you asking me to believe that you want them identified? I thought unmasking was only for Trump associates?
So I take it with a grain of salt.
Really? Just skeptical, huh? Maybe you liked what they did? Just a little bit? Huh?
There is no doubt about it now....there was a coup to remove this President from office. Sadly for all the deniers, it's all coming out just before an important election.
Total unadulterated bullshit and you know it. The only coup was in Donald Trumps mind and the terrorists in his brain won. The deep state is nothing more than a poor excuse for those trying to protect this inept President from further embarrassment. The deep state is as real as a flat earth, that is to say, ALL evidence is to the contrary, you have provided ZERO evidence of anyone or anything associated with an actual coordinated cabal trying to run the country from the shadows. It's beyond improbable, it's pure fantasy and I feel bad for those so deluded as to believe in it.
Another factual rebuttal.
Seriously, the conspiracy nuts take the normal functioning of the intelligence community and attempt to describe it as a coup against Trump.
This is SOP for the right wing conspiracy crowd.
I have seen or heard James Comey speak many times since all this deep state jazz about him surfaced a year or so ago. I've never seen someone who is supposedly in deep shit with the law look so unconcerned. He knows it is a lot of bs.
The only thing that is obvious is that it was yet another conspiracy theory by trump. One of at least 22 since he took office. One of my favorites is that windmills cause cancer. There was no proof of any deep state, trump spit out the conspiracy theory and his minions just keep adding to it. It's both sad and stupid.
Not when there are criminal referrals, leaking & lying, using opposition research for FISA warrants, spying & entrapment of American citizens and investigations which didn't have a criminal predicate! We are in the midst of a major scandal involving the intelligence agencies. The msm has avoided it like the plague, but it's coming and I have a feeling it might even touch the untouchable.
Don't you even believe in civil liberties?
Some love to troll and end up looking stupid and uninformed.
It is obvious that some people from some agencies were in full cahoots with Obama's administration.
But I believe that with the investigations that are underway, some of these bad actors like McCabe and Comey had better lawyer up and be prepared to be intensively grilled.
In an election year, this will be very bad for the Democrats.
But, but....Susan Rice said that Obama told them all to do things by the book!!!!! Yup, he reminded them of that after 8 years of working with them and Ms Rice wrote that little nugget into the minutes of the January 5th meeting, belatedly on inauguration day as Trump took the oath of office.
You provided zero facts to rebut.
You saw nothing, huh?
[DELETED]
More conspiracy theories...there is no deep state....tinfoil stock must be on the rise
Thanks for straightening us out. As a US Attorney goes after these people, I will be right here for more corrections.
And there was no collusion or obstruction of justice either.
The investigations are going on even as we debate.
Nice deflection
Right wing conspiracy nuts see normal functioning of the intelligence community and call it a plot. This is going nowhere.
HAHAA....It goes right to the summit of all your fears!
What fears?
Andrew McCabe is suing the Trump Justice Dept.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Andrew McCabe blames President Trump for firing, sues ...
10 days ago · Former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe is suing the Justice Department and FBI over his firing last spring and accusing President Donald Trump of politically retaliating against him.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
does he sound like someone who is afraid his dark secrets will be found out?
the conspiracy nuts are prisoners of their own obsessions and tunnel vision
He sounds like someone who is trying to get out in front of something. John, are you gonna stick your neck out on that lawsuit? Are you gonna say he was wrongfully terminated? Here is your chance, John....Time to put it out there.
That lawsuit is what is going nowhere!
Your constant hyper enthusiasm for this nonsense is a little concerning.
Should I be sent to a re-education camp?
Your interpretation is what? That all those people were fired/suspended because Trump didn't like them?
McCabe was fired because he would not act as a Trump lackey.
He fired McCabe the day before he would qualify for an FBI pension. What do YOU think that indicated about whether Trump "liked" him ?
What a world you live in.
FALSE.
McCabe was specifically fired because he had a criminal referral from the IG for lying 4 times to investigators. Evidently then AG Sessions preferred to fire McCabe rather than prosecute him as he should have!
He fired McCabe the day before he would qualify for an FBI pension.
He could have been fired long before that. Some were letting him stay just up to the point for him to get his pension (BTW he still gets some of his pension). Do you think he should have been allowed to stay to get his pension, then resign or get fired and go completely unpunished? Is that your idea of justice?
Spare us the opinion pieces....especially from the New Yorker
I doubt if you would really want to hear MY opinion Vic.
I'm not as big fan of conspiracy nuts.
Iv'e heard your opinion - there is nothing to see here! It will be harder & harder to defend that.
You also once famously said that you didn't care if the conspiracy charges against Trump were bogus or not, just as long as he was removed. Am I correct?
The Mueller Report stated that Trump and his campaign embraced Russian help in the election. Trump personally dictated the lying response to media questions about the Trump Tower meeting.
Mueller thinks he should be impeached.
Trump support by his minions (which scares Congress into inaction) is the only thing that has saved him.
Didn't McCabe also keep notes?
The Clinton campaign actually paid for it! Why weren't they investigated by Mueller's liberal team of lawyers?
Mueller thinks he should be impeached.
And where did the senile old man say that?
Trump support by his minions (which scares Congress into inaction) is the only thing that has saved him.
I want to know what saved McCabe and Comey, thus far?
Your'e not questioning everything now! Please post McCabe's notes.
So before the election the talking point was, "Don't vote for Hillary!!!!! She will start WWIII with Russia because she hates Putin!!!!!!", to after the election, "Hillary and Putin are friends, she paid him for information on Trump!!!!!!!".
Seriously, get your talking points straight. Not a big secret that Putin hates Hillary, the chances of him giving up dirt on Trump, (who Putin himself said, "I want Trump to win"), is literally ZERO.
The only talking point I remember was Hillary will win by a landslide!
Seriously, get your talking points straight. Not a big secret that Putin hates Hillary, the chances of him giving up dirt on Trump, (who Putin himself said, "I want Trump to win"), is literally ZERO.
Are you saying that Steele actually spoke to people representing Putin? McCabe couldn't verify that he spoke to a Russian official. Who did Steele speak to?
Why has he not been impeached yet?
What are the Dems afraid of.
Trump supporters will attempt to punish politicians who justifiably move against Trump.
Why do you think I've been arguing with the moderators about Trump supporters all these months and now years?
Do you really expect to cover for these guys with that? Just admit it, Hillary lost so their asses were left exposed! They kept going and now they are up to their ears in this!
Political opponents of Putin in Russia are quickly assassinated or jailed. Happens all the time. Nothing happens in Russia with regards to politics without Putin knowing about it.
How would I do that?
It would be up to Mr. McCabe to provide his notes in his suit against the 'president's' administration.
So you missed where Putin's bot companies organized protests against Trump after he was elected?
The real purpose of the bot companies was to sow discord among Americans. Putin didn't care who won between Trump and Hillary; so long as we were at each others throats. Mission accomplished for Putin.
As for talking points- get yours straight. Forgetting these gems from Hillary that would have sparked WWIII?
Hillary never met a military action she didn't like. She spearheaded the Libya push, and thought Obama didn't go far enough in Syria.
As for the Clinton funded political hit piece Steele Dossier. Most of it has been disproven; and what is left can't be proven. Hillary didn't "pay Putin." Jesus where did that come from? Hillary paid Fusion GPS. Fusion GPS outsourced to Steele, who was working for the FBI as a paid informant. Steele hated Trump and made a political hit piece. Steele was giving information to the FBI, Fusion GPS, and leaking it to the media. FBI fired Steele for leaking/conflict of interest; but then took it from Fusion GPS directly from Bruce Ohr's wife.
If the Steele Dossier was used to get the FISA warrants- then the warrants are illegal. There is an investigation into the FISA warrants going on right now. Will be interesting to find out where it leads.
OMG Hillaryious. This has to be the funniest comment I've read today.
Thanks for the laugh JR.
[DELETED]
I agree John. It is not going anywhere.
Can I assume you are on break?
What's that supposed to mean?
Like you, I'm just curious.
I know what you meant
[DELETED]
The intelligence community and the FBI were not functioning normally under the prior criminal administration. These investigations will actually get to the bottom of all the left wing corruption...and insure Trump's reelection.
According to who? And how so?
All this seems to be a shock to some.
[DELETED]
Deep State?
They cannot keep the Ship of State running true, let alone an imagined spin off.
Hahaa....Keep your ears covered. It's gonna get worse!
'We'll see what happens'
So we shall. The IG report will be forthcoming soon.
Like that report will ever come out. I won't hold my breath.
We can afford to be patient--after all, isn't that what some were saying about the Great Mueller Report--be patient waiting for it?
LOL!
It was delayed because people came forward at the last minute. It should have been done last month. It will be out soon. The US Attorney one is most important. He can go after anyone, i'm pleased to say. That's the one they fear.
I won't hold my breath.
Try
Every time trump spits out a conspiracy theory, the nutters spin themselves into knots trying to make it true. I was on fox news yesterday reading comments and there are still people out there that believe that Obama wasn't born in the USA.
Those pesky little things called facts!
When has the 'president' or his supporters ever uttered anything resembling a fact?
How about the ones presented right here in the article?
Judicial watch is a highly questionable source. They're known for promoting conspiracy theories.
Oh, there you go again. You always end up in the same place.
JW is allowed here as a lead in and that is just the way Iv'e used it. What is really questionable is the rating service we are using.
Doesn't change the fact that they openly promote right wing conspiracy theories which honestly, are a dime a dozen.
Indeed!
Judicial Watch is on the MBFC shit list. My understanding has been that such links cannot be used in the body of an article, seeded or original. Perrie should clarify.
when they can't debate the facts, they run to mommy.
Many things are on the MBFC hit list that don't belong there.
It is a joke--like the SPLC.
It is just that some don't recognize it yet.
She has. It can be used as a lead up. BTW there is nothing wrong with Judicial Watch. They simply obtain information via FOIA requests. The problem is with MBFC. I have discussed it with Perrie and she is open to replacing it. The problem is there is no other rating service and MBFC is extremely left wing. I think we are better off with nothing. We should be totally free to use sources. We shouldn't be banning sources for no reason other than some people can't contest the facts contained therein. And that is what is happening.
Exactly. Everyone knows but the snowflakes never admit it that Obama bowed before the Saudi king. Try finding it on CBS,NBC,CNN,MSNBC......
There are lots of stories they don't cover!
Nutters? Like those folks who believe that Fox is banned?
The Bogus Story That Launched a ‘Collusion’ Probe
That happens to be part 4 of the installments I have left for the group.
[DELETED]
Yeah, but I will bet that every single one of the rapists stayed in Mexico because the left has repeatedly told us that Trump was wrong about some of the folks coming from Mexico being rapists!
In fact, the problem is infinitely worse than the article reveals. For example, of 61,529 criminal cases initiated by federal prosecutors in 2013, 24,746 — fully 40 percent of the total — originated in five border jurisdictions in Arizona, New Mexico, Southern California, West Texas and South Texas. Almost all were committed by illegals .
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) in its 2011 report, Criminal Alien Statistics , included a review of 249,000 criminal aliens. They were arrested a total of 1.7 million times, an average of about seven arrests per alien. Among them they committed 2.9 million crimes. Roughly 50 percent were arrested at least once for either assault, homicide, robbery, sex crimes or kidnapping. Here are the eye-popping stats:
Man, what with all of them coming here for jobs to support their families, where did they find the time to commit so many offenses?
It's a good question. I still can't figure out why so much of the population is afraid to admit who they will vote for. We read of polls where the President can't defeat the likes of Joe Biden or Liz Warren. Then we see the President fill up arenas with thousands of people, sometimes despite the risk of bodily harm. It's amazing isn't it?
It is deja vu!
To quote Brad Gurdlinger - "Bingo!"
