On Saturday The Epoch Times<\/a> posted an article that illustrates Andrew McCabe’s lawyer’s using the coronavirus as an excuse to block McCabe from testifying before Congress.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe<\/a> won\u2019t be appearing before a Senate committee this week after two members of the panel tested positive for the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, his lawyer said on Oct. 3.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

McCabe was scheduled to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee<\/a> on Oct. 6 to testify about the FBI\u2019s handling of the probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, which later morphed into an investigation of President Donald Trump\u2019s campaign.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An attorney for McCabe wrote to committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), informing him about the former bureau official\u2019s decision to pull out of the hearing. The lawyer said that McCabe didn\u2019t want to put his family at risk of catching the virus after Sens. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), who both sit on the committee, tested positive.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Congress can’t use Zoom? Does anyone actually believe that McCabe wanted to testify?<\/p>\n

This is the attorney’s statement:<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. McCabe is willing, able, and eager to testify in person about Crossfire Hurricane at any time in the future when it is safe to do so. But he is not willing to put his family\u2019s health at risk to do so,\u201d he continued.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFor these reasons, we are unwilling to appear in person for the October 6 hearing; and for reasons of fairness, we are unwilling to testify remotely. A fair and appropriate hearing of this kind\u2014which is complex and contentious\u2014simply cannot be conducted other than in person.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Americans have been working from home for months.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a day of reckoning coming. Just stay tuned, and there\u2019s more coming. There\u2019s something else coming, more damning than this, believe it or not,\u201d Graham told Fox News.<\/strong><\/p>\n

His comments came following revelations that the\u00a0Washington-based Russian national who supplied former British intelligence officer\u00a0Christopher Steele<\/a>\u00a0with most of the unverified claims in the infamous Russia dossier was himself investigated by the\u00a0FBI\u00a0on suspicions of being a spy for the Kremlin. The revelations were revealed in documents provided by Attorney General William Barr to Graham.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While aware of the counterintelligence concerns about Steele\u2019s source, the FBI failed to disclose that to the FISA [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] court as part of an application to surveil former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTo me, failure of the FBI to inform the court that the Primary Sub-source was suspected of being a Russian agent is a breach of every duty owed by law enforcement to the judicial system,\u201d Graham said in a\u00a0statement<\/a>\u00a0in reaction to the revelation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The goal here is to delay the testimony at least until after the election. If Joe Biden becomes President, the investigation will disappear and we can expect more political corruption in the future.<\/p>\n
