The importance of no leaks after McCabe testified for 8 hours before House Intelligence Committee

Let's put on our Sherlock Holmes deerstalker hats as we think about the dog that didn't bark, or, in the specific case at hand, the leaks that didn't reach CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, and other Democrat mouthpiece media. The most that Adam Schiff, the suspected über-leaker on the House Intelligence Committee, had to say after the FBI deputy director testified for nearly eight hours, is that McCabe "has been a professional FBI agent" and that he does not understand "the calls of some to fire him."

Translation: "It looks bad, but I'm with Andy."

With the holiday lull approaching, count on Republicans to hold their silence. Besides, the inspector general's report is expected early next year, and that could blow open the entire cabal that appears, from the Strzok-Page texts, to have plotted against a Trump victory and against the success of Trump's presidency.

Less taciturn is James Kallstrom, former assistant director of the FBI. He has been one of the most outspoken commentators on abuses within the FBI, and yesterday, he told Stuart Varney of Fox Business Network that "something is going to happen[.]" Sundance of Conservative Treehouse caught the exchange and provided the video below:

If Adam Schiff is not leaking it then it must be very bad for the ‘Rats.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The dog that did not bark.

That is my 100% take on this as well.

AS Jack Cashill's research has shown, Kallstrom played a key role in guiding the investigation into the downing of TWA 801, suppressing evidence of a missile, most likely a U.S. Navy exercise gone wrong.

SAY WHAT!!!!!!!!!!???????? An errant navy missile downed the plane?

Some might say it is never really bad for bad-behaving and law-breaking dems, only inconvenient. Until such time as we see some indictments, I’d have to say that is a correct assessment.

[wiggen]

i read it 3 times and i really don’t see how the headline jibes with the story. Its just possible there were no leaks because Schiff’s name has been out there associated with leaks and now he has to be careful.

[chuckee]

Probably 8 hours of stonewalling by McCabe. I think if there was a bombshell in there we would have heard it by now. The guy most likely to provide the bombshell is Bruce Ohr, the DOJ clown shopping his wife’s phony dossier to the FBI. And I think that bombshell will be the guy pleading the fifth because of his possible criminal exposure at which time this thing begins to unravel

[rlmorel]

Reading the article doesn’t provide much information, I agree.

[mass55th]

Is this a leak?

McCabe draws blank on Democrats’ funding of Trump dossier, new subpoenas planned

[Lumper20]

I say either some pleading the fifth and/or they have a preplanned cooked up lie that most stick to.

[rktman]

So, will any closed door meetings with Jared K be live streamed? Just sayin'.. 😂

[MtnClimber]

Anything the dems think will embarras Trump will get leaked immediately.

[rktman]

Especially closed door super ultra secret hearings. 👹🍿🍻

[PhiloBedo]

Kallstrom shredded any credibility he ever had, carrying water for BJClinton’s cover-up of the shoot-down.

James Kallstrom, former assistant director of the FBI.

WHo personally led the cover up of the downing of TWA800.

[SamAdams76]

If McCabe was stonewalling, I don’t think they would have had him in there for 8 hours (I heard 9 1/2 hours). Did any of the other closed-door hearings last that long?

[MtnClimber]

Reported also that there are agents disgusted with the corruption and ready to come out and testify.
