McCabe, Comey, and Mueller

Law Prof Jonathan Turley writes in The Hill about the impact of statements by recently fired Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe on the activities and future of both former Director Comey and Special Prosecutor Mueller. His treatment isn't brief but he makes some excellent points. Two examples:

McCabe appears to be suggesting that Comey was consulted before the alleged leak to the media on the Clinton investigation. Many of us had speculated that it seemed unlikely McCabe would take such a step without consulting with Comey. Yet, Comey repeatedly stated that he had never leaked nor caused anyone to leak information to the media.

While McCabe lashed out at Trump in his statement, he may have just given Trump the long-sought cover to use his pardon power. If McCabe is not charged, Trump could cite that decision as the basis for pardoning Flynn, as a matter of equity and fairness.

Thus pressuring Mueller to charge McCabe with perjury or lying to the FBI. This story is far from over, it's just the thing to keep our interest all spring and into the summer.
