FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to testify Thursday on Clinton emails
The Washington Examiner ^ | December 20, 2017 | Kelly Cohen

FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe will be on Capitol Hill again to testify behind closed doors on Thursday, when he will likely be asked questions about the now-closed investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server.

The Department of Justice told the chairmen and ranking members of both the House Judiciary and House Oversight committees in a Wednesday letter that McCabe will be available for transcribed interviews, according to a House aide. McCabe's testimony will be classified.

The Justice Department also made it clear that he will be unable to discuss matters within the scope of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia's meddling in the 2016 election.

The House Judiciary and Oversight committees both announced in late October they were opening new investigations into the FBI's handling of its probe into Clinton's private email server, accusing the agency of letting the former secretary of state off easy.

Late Wednesday, committees' leadership asked McCabe and Attorney General Jeff Sessions that the former be available for an interview as early as Thursday. They also requested interviews with FBI chief of staff Jim Rybicki and Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer who traded anti-Trump text messages with a fellow member of the FBI, Peter Strzok, with whom she was working on Mueller's team.

After McCabe’s F**k Flynn comment, anything that creep does is not worth a pitcher of warm spit.

Perhaps, little Andy can zip over to Congress in his nifty Porsche and deliver his spiel..... whatever excuse or spin is the flavor-of-the-weak.

Andrew McCabe needs to go to jail.

“McCabe’s testimony will be classified.”

Isin’t it true that the president can declassify any thing?

8 hours behind closed doors and now called back again behind closed doors and all we are hearing is that he can not come up with one fact in the Russian document that they were able to confirm....can you imagine the fear from the others about what he said....did he flip, did he stay true to the story???? They can not contact him or each other now. Maybe I better be the one to make a deal?!?!

It is over. To many conspirators to keep in line.

“invited”?

How about dragged in by his scrotum with needles up his nostrils with a fork up his rectum? How about subpoenaed?

This floating blob deserves no quarter.

“invited”? If so then this tea party is of no consequence.

McCabe believed in the veracity of the dossier but can only cite the truth of Page’s trip to Russia from it? Page admitted he traveled to Russia on business a year ago - so what, I do it all the time, its not a banned destination. What else is true about it, Mr. McCabe and did you use taxpayer funds to pay for it? He sounds like an 8 year old explaining Star Wars to an adult.

I thought McCabe would plead the 5th, but if he turns on Hildabeast and Mueller and Comey, so much the better. He needs to have 24hr protection.

All this stuff reminds me of the JOE WILSON/VALERIE PLAME affair.

I have obtained a copy of his responses tomorrow. It goes like this:

“I do not recall”
“I do not recall”
“I plead the 5th on advice of my counsel”

These people NEED to go to prison! The seriousness of the crime warrants it. The communists will attempt to subvert the US Constitution again, unless these people pay!

“Whats an email?”
“I think she explained it fully that she was using server to setup yoga appointments”
“Can I get you some coffee?”
“The FBI has been busy protecting Hollywood from DVD copiers”

McCabe cut a deal after cancelling his Congressional hearing last week.

Possible. Fox News reported that his testimony "contradicted" several other witnesses who previously testified, and subpoenas are going out to them to testify again.

But Flipping means that the ultimate targets would have to be higher up. Comey? Lynch? Obama?
