What Schiff does not say says more than he says. Namely, that as an insider to revelations to come, he’s not going to stick his neck out like so many others today and defend a guy who will, before long, be exposed as a criminal. Must really be bad if Schiff has no spin on the firing.
Further consider - Schiff knows far more than the average member of his party. If there was ANY chance that McCabe would be a solid witness against Trump for Mueller is there ANY doubt he would defend him?
For those who believe the OIG report will be a nothing-burger please consider the events that have occurred with the release of only 5% or less of what it contains. There is a chance that we have learned the more salacious parts of it, but who really believes that given that the oversight committees have only had the opportunity to review approximately 3000 of what has been said to be 1.2 million documents.
For those who say the report should have been released by now - they keep uncovering more and more information relevant to the report and that appears to be the reason for the delay. AG Sessions has asked the IG to look into other stuff so at some point I would hope they release the report as of XXX date and they can add in slip sheets on parts that are not yet finalized and/or issue supplemental reports at a later date.
