How about the guy who signs every bill passed by Congress into law? The guy who can launch tomahawk missiles because he feels like it? The guy who is in charge of foreign and domestic policy? They guy who can pardon his friends.
Or how about the fact that Trump just pardoned the guy who outed a CIA agent to the media for telling the truth about a lie used to manufacture consent for a war?
Perspective.

Funny how you apply those standards of honesty.
The people who can kick in your door, shoot your dog, drop a flashbang grenade in your baby's crib, bankrupt you, put you in prison, make you an unemployable felon, make your whole family lay in the snow in a prone position, etc, etc, etc...damned well better be as pure as the driven snow. Or We The People have no use for them.

We found that , in a conversation with then- Director Comey shortly after the WSJ article was published, McCabe lacked candor when he told Comey , or made statements that led Comey to believe, that McCabe had not autho rized th e disclosure and did not know who did. This conduct violated FBI Offense Code 2.5 (Lack of Candor – No Oath).
We also found that on May 9, 2017 , when questioned under oath by FBI agents from INSD, McCabe lacked candor when he told the agents that he had not authorized the disclosure to the WSJ and did not know who did. This conduct violated FBI Offense Code 2.6 (Lack of Candor – Under Oath ).
We further found that on July 28, 201 7, when questioned under oath by the OIG in a recorded interview, McCabe lacked candor when he stated: (a) that he was not aware of Special Counsel having be en authorized to speak to reporters around October 30 and (b) that , because he was not in Washington, D.C., on October 27 and 28, 2016, he was unable to say where Speci al Counsel was or what she was doing at that time. This conduct violated FBI Offense Code 2.6 (Lack of Candor – Under Oath ).
We additionally found that on November 29, 2017, when questioned under oath by the OIG in a recorded interview during which he contradicted his prior statements by acknowledging that he had authorized the disclosure to the WSJ , McCabe lac ked candor when he: (a) stated that he told Comey on October 31 , 2016, that he had authorized the disclosure to the WSJ; (b) denied telling INSD agents on May 9 that he had not authorized the disclosure to the WSJ about the PADAG call ; and (c) asserted that INSD’s questioning of him on May 9 about the October 30 WSJ article occurred at the end of an unrelated meeting when one of the INSD agents pulled him aside and asked him one or two questions about the article. This conduct violated FBI Offense Code 2.6 ( Lack of Candor – Under Oath).
Lastly, we determined that as Deputy Director, McCabe was authorized to disclose the existence of the CF Investigati on publicly if such a disclosure fell within the “public interest” exception in applicable FBI and DOJ policies generally prohibiting such a disclosure of an ongoing investigation. However, we concluded that McCabe’s decision to confirm the existence of t he CF Investigation through an anonymously sourced quote, recounting the content of a phone call with a senior Department official in a manner designed to advance his personal interests at the expense of Department leadership, was clearly not within the public interest exception. We therefore concluded that McCabe’s disclosure of the existence of an ongoing investigation in this manner violated the FBI’s and the Department’s media policy and constituted misconduct. The OIG is issuing this report to the FBI for such action as it deems appropriate.

You didn't know that there are bad cops?
Remember all of those Dems lamenting his firing offering him money and jobs? But remember anyone critical of anyone in the fbi is anti law enforcement and hurting our country! Just ask the msm.
And funny McCabe was not recused from the trump investigation despite his wifes connections to the Clintons, even to the surprise of trump hateing agent struck
But I am sure everything was on the up and up in that case!
What a joke!
People are more concerned with adultery than corruption at the highest levels of the fbi.

#BREAKING DOJ Inspector General releases report on fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe
-he lied to IG, lied to Comey and reprimanded two FBI executives for leaks he had authorized Special Counsel to disclose to the Wall Street Journal.
Wow!
More to come
twitter.com...
So the turd wrote people up for actions he, himself, performed?
Spit.
In a letter submitted by McCabe’s counsel after reviewing a draft of this report, McCabe argues that “the OIG should credit Mr. McCabe’s account over Director Comey’s” and complains that the report “paints Director Comey as a white knight carefully guarding FBI information, while overlooking that Mr. McCabe’s account is more credible for at least three key reasons. . . .” The first reason cited by McCabe as to why he should be believed over Comey is because he claims to have a “concrete recollection” of the conversation between the two of them on October 31, while he argues Comey does not.
It is noteworthy that McCabe did not articulate such a “concrete recollection” during any of four prior interviews...
In his submission, McCabe presented no evidence to corroborate his version of events. Instead, McCabe focuses entirely on attacking the credibility of Comey’s recollection. We found his “concrete recollection” argument without merit. The second reason cited by McCabe as to why he should be believed over Comey is because Comey was distracted at the time because of his need on October 31 to deal with the Weiner laptop and Clinton E-mail Investigation issues...
Finally, McCabe argues that Comey “would have every incentive to distance himself from this disclosure” due to McCabe’s belief that the OIG is reviewing Comey’s disclosure of other information to the media. However, McCabe provides no factual basis for this claim and fails to address the corroborating circumstances described in the report that support Comey’s recollection. In the absence of any evidence supporting McCabe’s claim, we do not credit it.

Instead of debating over which apple is more rotten, maybe it's time to burn the orchard to the ground and start over.
We've clearly been on a downslide since at least Nixon and it seems like the slope just keeps getting steeper.
So how do we correct the course?

I noticed that a moderator has posted on this thread numerous times and also posted on a thread on the same topic posted several minutes after this thread was made. Posted here first, then there then back here again. I wonder why that second thread has not yet been closed as roughly an hour has past since the original postings.
