We have shenanigans galore happening with Trump DOJ:

Trump adviser and onetime legal adviser Joe DiGenova has publicly stated that FBI agents leaked to the media in October '16 in an effort to force Comey to reopen the Clinton case—which he did, a decision that helped throw the election to Trump. But *those* guys get off scot-free?

In two meetings last week, McCabe’s lawyers met with the deputy attorney general, Jeffrey A. Rosen, who is expected to be involved in the decision about whether to prosecute, and with the United States attorney for the District of Columbia, Jessie K. Liu. https://nyti.ms/2L9ZbCj

@SethAbramson
1/ The Inspector General cares *not a whit* about FBI agents leaking to media. He had public confirmation that this happened in October '16 by pro-Trump agents—and even mentioned it in his report—but took *no action*. And now @matthewamiller
says a McCabe indictment feels likely?

2/ I'll repeat what I said the day McCabe was fired: this is an effort to discredit a witness against Trump, and is part of a public campaign by Trump to discredit every witness who could aid in his impeachment. It's transparent, risible, and in flagrant contempt for rule of law.

3/ If the FBI cares about leakers, the DOJ can damn well indict pro-Trump leakers from October '16 as well as a guy accused of leaking info with little to nothing to do with the Clinton-Trump race. It seems the FBI/DOJ are so in thrall to Trump they suddenly can't shoot straight.

Feels like an indictment is coming right before Labor Day.

Our legal system. When are FBI agents going to speak up about all this bu$hit. Our government has been turned into a criminal activity. No one tries to stop it.

Putin laughing his ass off.
