they're referring him on the claim that he "lacked candor"? sounds like intimidation to me.

The stink of Republican desperation is palpable.
They so want to be feared and obeyed but
the world is laughing at them and their
dumbass intimidation tactics.
What pathetic fucks.

This man's action sabotaged our election. Just maybe the IG knows something. He committed to a severe breach of ethics that harm the entire nation. Immediately after, the independent IG launched an investigation. Do you line bad investigation he lied multiple times about what he did anyone else which is in itself Call spur fire he has a minimum penalty. The justice to park apartment has zero tolerance for lack of candor.

Yes proof that our systems are still working, in spite of the band of criminals the Republicans to put in office.

This doesn’t mean McCabe will be prosecuted, but rather that the US Atty in DC will review the file & determine if there is a prosecutable case. The IG is acting like any other investigative agency, referring a case & it would have been a surprise if this wasn’t sent over.
