Trump's 'Deep State' conspiracy theory just took a big hit

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/14/politics/andrew-mccabe-donald-trump-department-of-justice/index.html


 President Donald Trump is deeply invested in the idea that there is a "Deep State" embedded within the government bureaucracy -- and centered in the Department of Justice -- which actively worked to defeat him in 2016 and then sought to undermine him once he won the presidency.That conspiracy theory, which has never had much merit, suffered a near-fatal blow Friday afternoon when the Department of Justice declined to pursue criminal charges against former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe.

That decision ends a nearly-two-year investigation into whether McCabe, in his role as a senior official in the FBI, lied to investigators about conversations he had with reporters. McCabe had long insisted that if he had done so it had been purely accidental, and noted that, in his role, he was authorized to speak to the media.
Trump spent much of the investigation dumping on McCabe, a man who he insisted was, along with former FBI director James Comey, at the center of the "Deep State" conspiracy against him.

  1. Again hypocrisy on this blog.

    When Trump gets acquited, he's guilty anyway.

    When Justice fails to prosecute McCabe because it will be a tough case, McCabe is innocent.

  2. THE FAILURE TO PROSECUTE WAS NOT BECAUSE IT WAS A DIFFICULT CASE

    FAILURE TO CONVICT TRUMP IS NOT A PROOF OF INNOCENCE

  3. How do we know why they didn't prosecute? If there is an article that has more than speculation on this matter, I would most interested in it.

    Thanks.
