Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe is set to appear before the House Intelligence Committee later this month after his previously scheduled appearance was scrapped due to what Justice Department officials called a last-minute "scheduling error."
Committee chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., told reporters that he was "extremely troubled" by the postponement of McCabe's testimony and called the Justice Department's "scheduling error" excuse "not really believable." Insight from Robert Driscoll, former Justice Department official who served as deputy assistant attorney general under President George W. Bush. Video Special counsel needed to probe DOJ-Fusion GPS?
"We have a commitment, again, that McCabe is going to show up next Tuesday [Dec. 19] at 2:00," Nunes said, "so we will be following up with letters ... if none of that is followed up with, then we will move forward with contempt and we will issue additional subpoenas."
[Paragraph 6] However, committee sources have said that they believe McCabe was dissuaded from appearing Tuesday after Fox News published a report Monday night on recently demoted Justice Department official Bruce Ohr. Ohr’s wife, Nellie, worked through last fall for Fusion GPS, which was behind the dossier. Nellie Ohr has written extensively on Russia-related subjects, but it is unclear whether she worked on the dossier.
"The security director for the FBI sent over [Monday] night at 7:23 the security clearance for Mr. McCabe," Nunes said, "so it seems like everyone in the building over there ... knew that Mr. McCabe was supposed to be here today. But they're blaming a scheduling snafu ... It would be a high level of incompetence for people that are normally pretty smart."

I hope against hope that some day the GOP will become street fighters...until then.....we’ll see what happens next week...not counting on anything.
Trey Gowdy is nothing more that an Attack Chihuahua.
Not sure re Nunes
Will McCabe be wearing an ankle bracelet?
He just made it clear this was an FBI/CIA operation designed to destabilize Trump. This is high treason and McCabe is right in the middle of it.
People need to be arrested and the FBI must be drastically curtailed down to working bank robbers and kidnapping. Its “intelligence” function as Americas KGB must be fully ended.
The CIA must be disbanded after after 60 years of loose cannon treason and trashing America’s name around the world.
They should have ALREADY gone the contempt/subpoena route. The ‘RATS play to win and Republicans want to be “nice guys”.
Let’s see how McCabe wiggles out of this one.
WTF is meant by “secures deal”?
I don’t think he will answer at all.
He may plead the 5th.
Devin Nunes is a nutless little Mexican!
Hard questions must be asked...and they MUST be answered. No weaseling allowed.
It’ll be his taking the Fifth and/or lots of Clintonian: I DON’T REACALLS.
Exactly. Wasted time in my opinion.
The 19th? Yeah, a week should suffice to get all the lies coordinated.
He sure will!
We often disagree, but on this we are not that far apart.
This is the first time in the history of the US government that Agents in multiple Federal Agencies on a wide scale with the support of the media and some members of both parties in Congress have plotted to remove an elected President of the US, by employing lies and their own propaganda.
Lincoln was assassinated, by a group of civilians.
Kennedy was assassinated, by 1 or more civilians. (some say CIA, I doubt that. Possibly Cuban Mafia.)
This one is for all the chips. We must expose the extent of this treachery publicly and punish those behind it.
There was a book written about President Nixon’s removal called “Silent Coup”. But although there are some similarities, it was not the same as this.
We must not let this go unpunished.
He just made it clear this was an FBI/CIA operation designed to destabilize Trump.
..............
Can you please articulate who is “he”? Your comment is very important and I can’t follow your thought
He will plead the 5th. Then the govt. may grant him immunity, meaning nothing he discloses can be used against him criminally. If he’s granted immunity, he must answer all questions truthfully or be prosecuted for perjury.
The govt. may not grant him immunity meaning they can still go after him with criminal charges.
Oh come on...it’s a GOP committee, so NOTHING will happen to the seditious traitor; sadly.
Yeah, but I’m an optimist.
