DOJ will not pursue charges against former FBI Deputy Director McCabe.
McCabe has denied intentionally misleading investigators. He told CNN that he has maintained from the day the inspector general's report came out that if investigators"followed the law and they followed the facts, that I would have nothing to worry about. But as the president's interest in pursuing his perceived political enemies continued over the last two years, we were getting more and more concerned about where this would end up.
The court transcripts, released after the Justice Department's letter to McCabe's lawyers, show prosecutors struggling with how to proceed in his case, and the judge in the matter expressing concerns about political pressure. When they returned to court in early September, Cooney told Judge Reggie Walton, a George W. Bush appointee, that no decision had been made, but they expected to have one within days.The judge asked why it was taking so long.
Cooney told the judge"this is an exceedingly difficult matter and situation" and that he needed another three months.
