Andrew McCabe should be facing prison time right now, but alas, we don’t live in a country where justice is blind. So instead, he’s going on CNN — even after admitting he committed crimes — and whining about how unfair the DOJ was in their investigation of him. This is the same guy who helped trash Michael Flynn’s life over a supposed lie that neither Flynn nor the agents interviewing him thought was a lie.
Here’s McCabe on CNN clutching his pearls with faux indignation.
Andrew McCabe: “As glad as I am that the DoJ and the DC attorney’s office finally decided to do the right thing today, it’s an absolute disgrace that they took 2 years and put my family through this experience for two years before they finally drew the obvious conclusion." pic.twitter.com/T8x7drbukU

McCabe isn’t an idiot. He knows exactly what he did and he knows exactly how hypocritical it is for him to now cry foul after he’s destroyed numerous lives in pursuit of the same crimes he committed himself. But like most bureaucrats, McCabe lacks the ability to feel shame and believes himself to be above accountability. Elections? Presidents? Laws? None of that applies to these people. They are a law unto themselves and continue to flaunt it in the faces of Americans who are wondering what the heck our justice system even stands for at this point.
The damage done to these institutions is likely irreversible. It’s not Donald Trump’s fault. It’s not Bill Barr’s fault. It’s McCabe, Comey, etc. who have absolutely destroyed the credibility of federal law enforcement and that will be their legacy. No amount of CNN hits is going to change that.
