doesn't make sense because the DOJ's letter to McCabe's attorney says that they have decided not to "pursue" criminal charges.
Others speculate that they declined to charge him with a process crime because they have him on more serious crimes relating to FISA abuse, but this does not make sense to me.
So, I really don't know. I suppose we will find out when Barr testifies in late March.
Remember, they already decided not to prosecute Comey for lying and leaking. I guess they are consistent.
