A case against McCabe could face some headwinds, according to the Times’ report. A grand jury witness in the investigation has provided testimony that could undermine the government’s case, according to the newspaper.
Trump and his conservative supporters have been heavily critical of McCabe, who had a leading role in the Trump-Russia investigation. In May 2017, after Trump fired James Comey as FBI director, McCabe authorized the FBI to investigate Trump for obstruction of justice. McCabe also opened an investigation into whether then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions committed perjury about Russia contacts during his Senate confirmation hearings. The special counsel’s report cleared Sessions of any wrongdoing.
McCabe also arranged a Jan. 24, 2017 interview between FBI agents and then-national security adviser Michael Flynn. Flynn pleaded guilty in the special counsel’s investigation to lying to the agents regarding his conversations a month earlier with then-Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

How much of this is actual investigative reporting and how much of it is McCabe and his lawyer trying to get ahead of the indictment?
Me thinks it’s all leaked spin from McCabe.
