Lacked candor.  Is that the new-age term for lying?  

 

The IG concluded in 2018 that McCabe "lacked candor" when speaking to then-FBI Director James Comey and DOJ Oversight and Review (O&R) internal investigators about the leak to the Journal on May 9, 2017. In the transcripts, released Thursday, an unidentified O&R investigator asserted that McCabe had claimed "he did not grant anyone permission to divulge the information to the media" and that he "personally hadn't shared the information" or "granted anyone else permission to."

PR is basically the worst that happens to these people.

 

It's clearly a crime, but the media, and other politicians, know people like McCabe being held accountable increases the likelihood they are as well. So they play it down, try and give people moral victories besides actual justice.

Some of them committed actual crimes in the past. Of course, every opportunity was there to charge them, but it's not uncommon for authorities to sit on stuff like this in opportunistic fashion. We see the flip side of discretion when pursuing charges and relying on power being ethical. Same story as FISA.

No, they were convicted or confessed to their crimes and it was not just "lack of candor"

 

"If you cannot do the time, don't do the crime"

 

Trump should watch his back once he is out of office as well.
