EXCLUSIVE: Congressional investigators tell Fox News that Tuesday’s seven-hour interrogation of Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe contained numerous conflicts with the testimony of previous witnesses, prompting the Republican majority staff of the House Intelligence Committee to decide to issue fresh subpoenas next week on Justice Department and FBI personnel.
While HPSCI staff would not confirm who will be summoned for testimony, all indications point to demoted DOJ official Bruce G. Ohr and FBI General Counsel James A. Baker, who accompanied McCabe, along with other lawyers, to Tuesday’s HPSCI session.
The issuance of a subpoena against the Justice Department’s top lawyer could provoke a new constitutional clash between the two branches, even worse than the months-long tug of war over documents and witnesses that has already led House Speaker Paul Ryan to accuse DOJ and FBI of “stonewalling” and HPSCI Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., to threaten contempt-of-Congress citations against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray.
“It’s hard to know who’s telling us the truth,” said one House investigator after McCabe’s questioning.
Fox News is told that several lawmakers participated in the questioning of McCabe, led chiefly by Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C.
Sources close to the investigation say that McCabe was a “friendly witness” to the Democrats in the room, who are said to have pressed the deputy director, without success, to help them build a case against President Trump for obstruction of justice in the Russia-collusion probe. “If he could have, he would have,” said one participant in the questioning.

None of them....................
The reason McCabe “can’t recall” is that he knew the “dossier” was Democrat opposition research before it was used as a FISA court warrant intelligence document.
So who lied? Comey,Rosenstein, McCabe, Wray or Mueller?
My bet...Every freaking one of them!
"Investigators say McCabe recounted to the panel how hard the FBI had worked to verify the contents of the anti-Trump “dossier” and stood by its credibility. But when pressed to identify what in the salacious document the bureau had actually corroborated, the sources said, McCabe cited only the fact that Trump campaign adviser Carter Page had traveled to Moscow. Beyond that, investigators said, McCabe could not even say that the bureau had verified the dossier’s allegations about the specific meetings Page supposedly held in Moscow.
The sources said that when asked when he learned that the dossier had been funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, McCabe claimed he could not recall – despite the reported existence of documents with McCabe’s own signature on them establishing his knowledge of the dossier’s financing and provenance."
He went to the Hillary Clinton school of “I Don’t Recall.”
It's not an impossibility that ALL of them are liars.
These hearings ought to be public. Because it is impossible to determine who is lying, no one will be prosecuted, anyway. Let the public hear the contradictions and see for themselves what a bunch of lyers these people are.
The money sentence. The FBI stands by the veracity of the dossier.
I saw a Democrat basically tip their had a few weeks back. Wish I had documented it better.
He was trashing the Republicans for not being on the same page. He went on to trash them specifically for not sending out daily memos so they could coordinate their attacks, strategies. We know they do it to coordinate language, key words and talking points too.
In this climate, they now want us to believe they don’t contact each other and devise defense strategies, lying in unison by design.
Good luck with that.
As you and others have stated, they are all lying and by design. They work very hard at it.
I’ll bet the one common thread- the common lie - opened the door to exponential abuses by each of the individuals as they pushed the envelope base on the common lie seed. Thusly, no one wants to talk.
They are not public because they involve national security matters..................
Snakes all. This is the legacy of Obama still at work.
He might be up for some tragic accident, like repeatedly shooting himself in the temple or his brakes could fail, etc. He needs to be on alert, IMHO.
The money sentence.
++++
Indeed. THE FBI STANDS BY THE CREDIBILITY OF THE DOSSIER.
It will be about all we hear about this meeting from the MSM. Assuming we hear anything at all. And we will never hear from them that he could only name one very unimportant example of a verification.
plotting to overthrow a duly elected representative of the people would involve national security.
The money sentence. The FBI stands by the veracity of the dossier.
They have to, justifies the FISA warrant.
