Lying thru his teeth.

MR. McCABE, YOU HAD A FIVE-MINUTE OPENING STATEMENT. WE’RE AT 8:48. COULD YOU PLEASE WRAP UP.
00:17:26
YES, SIR. I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH THE IMPORTANCE OF FOCUSING YOUR EFFORTS AND THE ATTENTION OF THIS NATION ON THE DANGERS OF FOREIGN INFLUENCE ON OUR ELECTION. THE RUSSIANS WERE SUCCESSFUL BEYOND THEIR WILDEST IMAGINATION IN ACCOMPLISHING THEIR GOALS IN 2016. THEIR SUCCESSES SERVE AS AN ENCOURAGEMENT TO OTHER HOSTILE NATIONS INTENT ON UNDERMINING OUR SECURITY, SAFETY AND STABILITY. THE RUSSIANS AND OTHERS WILL BE BACK. PLEASE DO NOT LET THE RECENT CALM OF THE 2020 ELECTION LURE THE NATION INTO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY. IT IS UP TO YOU TO ENSURE THE NATION RECOGNIZES THE MAGNITUDE OF THE THREAT POSED BY FOREIGN ACTORS AND TAKE SUFFICIENTLY AGGRESSIVE STEPS TO ADDRESS IT. WITH THAT I’M HAPPY TO TAKE YOUR QUESTIONS.
Not worth the time to watch. Lies are getting so old.
WAIT A MINUTE. TIME-OUT. YOU GET A MEMO, AN INVESTIGATIVE LEAD IS WHAT THE CIA CALLS IT. ALLEGING THAT HILLARY CLINTON HAD JUST SIGNED OFF ON A PLAN TO TIE TRUMP TO RUSSIA FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES. HOW MANY PEOPLE LOOKED AT THAT, HOW MANY ACTS WERE ASSIGNED TO SEE IF IT WAS TRUE OR NOT? DID YOU KNOW ABOUT IT? DID YOU KNOW ABOUT IT?
Was he under oath... or did he have his fingers crossed?!?
I thought after he lied to Congress under oath years ago he would not fit into the elevators or hearing room doorways due to the length of his nose.
Graham: SO, HERE’S THE — HERE ARE THE FACTS. PRECEP SUGGESTED STRZOK NOT BE INVOLVED. YOU OVERRODE HIM. HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT STRZOK AND PAGE. PAGE, MARCH 3, 2016, GOD, TRUMP IS A LOATHSOME HUMAN. OH, MY GOD, STRZOK, TRUMP’S AN IDIOT. HE’S AWFUL. STRZOK, GOD, HILLARY SHOULD WIN 100 MILLION TO NOTHING. AUGUST 2016. PAGE, HE’S NOT EVER GOING TO BECOME PRESIDENT, RIGHT? STRZOK, NO, NO, HE WON’T, WE’LL STOP IT. SO IS IT YOUR TESTIMONY UNDER OATH THAT YOU THINK PETER STRZOK HAD NO BIASES AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP?
McCabe: SENATOR, IT IS MY TESTIMONY UNDER OATH THAT THE WORK THAT I SAW PETER STRZOK DO ON THE CROSSFIRE CASE AND OTHER CASES DID NOT INDICATE ZOOISH WHY DID HE — GO AHEAD.
Graham : I ACCEPT THAT YOU BELIEVE THAT MR. PAPADOPOULOS SHOULD BE LOOKED AT. I’M NOT ARGUING WITH YOU. I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CAN — HOW THE FBI OPERATED. YOU’VE GOT A TIP FROM AN AUSTRALIAN AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED KINGDOM TALKING ABOUT A BAR CONVERSATION WITH MR. PAPADOPOULOS ABOUT RUSSIA HACKING, AND THAT LEADS TO 2 1/2 YEARS OF TURNING THE COUNTRY UPSIDE DOWN. YOUR OWN CIA INFORMS THE FBI IN SEPTEMBER THAT THEY HAVE INFORMATION THAT HILLARY CLINTON HERSELF SIGNED OFF ON A PLAN TO DIVERT ATTENTION FROM HER EMAIL PROBLEMS TO TRUMP BY LINKING HIM TO RUSSIA FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES. AND MR. STRZOK NEVER TOLD YOU ABOUT IT, THE FBI NEVER OPENED UP AN INVESTIGATION, THEY NEVER HIRED ONE AGENT. THAT REALLY IS DISTURBING TO A LOT OF US. NOW, LET’S GO TO THE WARRANT. IN JUNE 2016 — EXCUSE ME, 2017, DID YOU SIGN OFF ON THE CARTER PAGE WARRANT APPLICATION?
DID YOU KNOW AT THE TIME THAT THE CIA HAD WARNED THE FBI ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS TO BE CAREFUL USING THE DOSSIER, IT WAS INTERNET RUMOR?
00:30:14
I DID NOT KNOW THAT AT THE TIME AND I DON’T KNOW THAT NOW.
00:30:18
OKAY. WE GOT A LIST THAT CIA INFORMS FBI THAT CARTER PAGE HAD APPROVED — HAD BEEN APPROVED AS AN OPERATIONAL CONTACT FROM 2008 TO 2013. DID YOU KNOW THAT THE CIA HAD TOLD THE FBI THAT IN AUGUST OF 2017?
00:30:35
NO, SIR.
SO, YOU DIDN’T KNOW THAT IN JANUARY THE SUBSOURCE TELLS THE FBI HE HAD NO IDEA WHERE SOME OF THE LANGUAGE ATTRIBUTED TO HIM CAME FROM, HIS CONTACTS NEVER MENTIONED SOME OF THE INFORMATION ATTRIBUTED TO THEM, HE SAID HE DID NOT KNOW THE ORIGINS OF OTHER INFORMATION THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FROM HIS CONTACTS, HE DID NOT RECALL OTHER INFORMATION ATTRIBUTED TO HIM OR HIS CONTACTS, STILL USED INCORRECT SOURCE CHARACTERIZATION AS SUBSOURCE PRIMARY CONTACTS THAT IN MARCH HE SAID HE NEVER EXPECTED STEELE TO PUT HIS STATEMENTS IN REPORTS OR PRESENT THEM AS FACTS. THE STATEMENTS WERE WORD OF MOUTH AND HEARSAY CONVERSATIONS HAD WITH FRIENDS OVER BEERS OR STATEMENTS MADE IN JEST THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN WITH A GRAIN OF SALT. WAS ANY OF THAT EVER COMMUNICATED TO YOU?

00:33:21
NO, SIR, NOT THAT I CAN RECALL.
00:33:23
IF YOU KNEW THEN WHAT YOU KNOW NOW, WOULD YOU HAVE SIGNED THE WARRANT APPLICATION IN JUNE OF 2017 AGAINST CARTER PAGE?
00:33:31
NO, SIR.
00:33:34
OKAY. FINALLY, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR RUINING MR. CARTER PAGE’S LIFE? IF IT’S NOT YOU, IT’S NOT ROSENSTEIN, IF IT’S NOT COMEY, IF IT’S NOT SALLY YATES, WHO’S RESPONSIBLE FOR PUTTING TOGETHER THE INFORMATION PROVIDED TO THE FISA COURT THAT WAS COMPLETELY DEVOID OF THE TRUTH, LACKING MATERIAL FACTS, COMPLETELY REPRESENTED WHAT MR. PAGE DID AND HOW HE DID IT, WHO SHOULD WE LOOK TO FOR THAT RESPONSIBILITY? Show Less Text
00:34:14
WELL, SIR, I DON’T AGREE WITH THE WAY THAT YOU’VE CHARACTERIZED THE —
00:34:18
THAT’S WHAT THE COURT SAID.
00:34:23
I THINK AS THE IG POINTED OUT IN THE CONCLUSIONS OF THEIR REPORT —
00:34:28
WHO’S RESPONSIBLE, MR. McCABE?
00:34:31
EVERYONE WHO HAD — EVERY PERSON —
00:34:33
EVERYBODY’S RESPONSIBLE? NOBODY’S RESPONSIBLE?
00:34:35
SIR, IT WOULD HELP IF YOU WOULD ALLOW ME TO FINISH MY ANSWER. I THINK IT MIGHT BE EASIER TO UNDERSTAND.
00:34:41
THE QUESTION IS, WHO’S RESPONSIBLE?
00:34:43
AND I THINK THAT WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WORK THAT WENT INTO THAT FISA. I AM CERTAINLY RESPONSIBLE AS A PERSON IN...
...a leadership position with oversight...
DID YOU MISLEAD THE FISA COURT?
00:35:02 [McCabe sounding flustered begins stuttering]
I SIGNED A PACKAGE THAT INCLUDED NUMEROUS FACTUAL ERRORS OR FAILED TO INCLUDE INFORMATION THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO THE COURT.
00:35:14
AND WHAT SHOULD BE DONE TO YOU AND OTHERS?
00:35:18 [McCabe really starts stuttering here]
WELL, SENATOR, I THINK WE’RE — WE ARE DOING THAT WITH THIS PROCESS. I THINK THE — OUR EFFORTS SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON FIGURING OUT HOW THESE ERRORS...

The original Woods file on Trump’s former campaign advisor Carter Page mysteriously disappeared more than two years ago. The “Woods Procedures” were designed to protect American citizens to “ensure accuracy with regard to … the facts supporting probable cause” after recurring abuses where the FBI presented inaccurate information to the FISC. At the time, the Woods procedure was overseen by FBI Special Agent Joe Pientka and former FBI Counter-intel chief Peter Strzok — the same FBI agents who ambushed General Mike Flynn in January of 2017. According to sources who spoke to investigative reporter Sara Carter, the ‘missing’ documents had...
Waste of time. He knows he’s home free. This is just theatre.
I can hear bagpipes in the distance.
Ahh, a good old spaghetti western. Thanks for the show, Linda.
