MCCABE STATEMENT SUGGESTS COMEY LIED TO CONGRESS
Power Line ^ | 03/17/2018 | PAUL MIRENGOFF

As I understand it, the core accusation that led to the firing of Andrew McCabe is that McCabe misled investigators about giving information to a former Wall Street Journal reporter regarding the investigation of Hillary Clinton and the Clinton family’s charitable foundation. In his post-firing statement, McCabe asserted that he not only had authority to “share” that information with the media, but did so with the knowledge of “the director.” The FBI director at the time was James Comey.

Can the eunuchs in the GOPe win one in the swamp war against the Keystone Cops from the FBI? Stay tuned. Maybe Comey will clear things up during his book tour; A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership.

I suspect that corrupt Congress not only knows when it’s being lied to, but let’s fellow crooks get away with lying to Congress.

All of them lied. All of the time. Big question: Will they be punished for it, as we would be in the same situation?

McCabe, Comey, Brennan, Lynch, Rice and others were part of the cabal that sought to rig the election against Trump and then tried desperately to prevent him from assuming office. They did this under the direction of Obama. They remain pathologically loyal to the vile Obama and will do or say anything to protect him. Sadly the Republicans seem incapable or unwilling to pursue justice.

McCabe smells a criminal charges against him. The left would have taken care of him financially, he’s worried it will be much more than losing some of his pension. He should be worried, but jail should be the last of his worries. I am sure his friends will support his testimony.

Comey can pull this off. If, as #2, McCabe was authorized to do it on his own authority, Comey may be parsing heavily, but might be technically truthful in answering this question:

Asked if he had “ever been an anonymous source in news reports about matters relating to the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation” or whether he had “ever authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports about the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation,” Comey replied “never” and “no.”. . .

The these guys figure, if McCabe didn't need authorization, then Comey could answer "No" even if he was aware of what McCabe was doing.

What a pair of dissimulating jerks. Not the "whole truth" at all. They are both lawyers.

I am wondering where he got the ‘authority’ to ‘share’ information with the media then lie about it.

We know he lied already. He told Congress that he did not decide whether to clear Hillary until just before he did so.

You may be correct.

If there are any statements in the book that contradict sworn testimony, there could be an “issue”.
