they can just dismiss you temporarily and have you come back after you have forgotten the evidence, not to mention the pain in the @$$ if you have to start all over.

are getting pressure from Barr via Trump to indict McCabe, so they gave it one last try.

That's the way it's been set up to work. Too bad they can't stack the grand juries like they did the courts!

maybe mccabe should sue.

mccabe iss just one of many limbaugh and sons have been howling about trying to get them under oath, including obama and clinton - all about bullshit, but they'd be doing it if nunes was still in charge

about Nutcase 45 under oath. It would truly be the trial of the century. Going after McCabe is probably one of the stupider things Dear Leader has done.

media should push. Trump once again makes a bonehead move. He sets up McCabe’s lawyer to depose everyone that Trump has been trying to hide from Congress. And a Judge has more clout to deal with uncooperative witnesses.

Or not.

But hey, they got the media to talk about it.

Prosecute Don Jr for the Russia meeting; Jared for lying on his security background forms; Hopey for her "white" lies; and Trump for 12,000 and counting lies. (I know--wishful thinking!)
