Why the press defends McCabe's crime

Why the press defends McCabe's crime

Lying to the FBI is a crime. Andrew McCabe lied to the FBI even as he was the agency's deputy director. This cost him his job as deputy director of the FBI. In a just world, prosecutors would indict him just as they did Martha Stewart (and others).

We shall see how just America is.

But we know our media is not worthy of a great nation because most of the scribes would be more comfortable working under a Soviet system where they could protect the state.

Which is why they protect McCabe.

Ideology and partisanship have little to do with this because this is all about money and power too. McCabe put in motion the Russian dossier fable, which has meant billions to CNN, MSNBC, and others.

They promote this lie because it keeps their audiences up, and those audiences have filled their coffers with record high subscription fees.

For a long time, the media covered McCabe's scandal with its Cloak of Invisibility. Now they circle wagons to protect him. Andrea Mitchell of Comcast's MSNBC channel called for a congressman to put him on the payroll long enough to secure a lifetime pension. I don't think that is how it works.

You see, reporters protect sources at all costs because as I said, billions are at stake. They are no more interested in the truth than the Easter bunny is. CNN has yet to tell the public who gave them that story that libeled Anthony Scaramucci, which CNN subsequently retracted.

The press loves the deep state. Atlantic monthly declared the Department of Justice to be an "independent agency," which not only is untrue but it is unconstitutional. The president appoints the attorney general (and others). The Constitution holds that the president is the chief executive.

"Andrew McCabe, a former acting and deputy FBI director who had drawn the ire of President Trump, was fired by Attorney General Jeff Sessions late Friday evening, a decision that raises troubling questions about the independence of both the Justice Department and the FBI," Adam Serwer wrote for Atlantic.

Actually, it answered troubling questions. To the question of its independence, the answer is not just no, but no infinity.

If he were a Trump supporter, the press would be all over McCabe because his wife received $700,000 from a Clinton crony while McCabe headed the FBI's Fake Investigation of Hillary.

But he does not face the music. He is a source. And the press defends its sources no matter how much they lie.

After all, billions are at stake.
