Grand jury may not be on board with DOJ plan to indict Andrew McCabe
Department of Justice officials alerted attorneys for former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe on Thursday that they intended to bring criminal charges against him for allegedly lying to federal investigators about media leaks. But now one of McCabe’s attorneys is wondering where the indictment is — and says he thinks the grand jury hearing the case decided not to indict.
McCabe attorney Michael Bromwich pressed the U.S. attorney in Washington in an email to confirm McCabe’s status. “If the grand jury voted not to approve charges, it did not find probable cause. Therefore, it is simply not reasonable to believe that a trial jury would find Mr. McCabe guilty of any charges employing a far more rigorous and exacting standard — beyond a reasonable doubt,” Bromwich wrote.
