FBI's McCabe 'has an Ohr problem,' will not testify on Tuesday, source says
Fox News ^ | 12/12/2017 | Chad Pergram, Edmund DeMarche

Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, who was reportedly scheduled to testify behind closed doors in front of the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday, will instead meet next week due to a "scheduling error," Department of Justice officials told Fox News.

McCabe’s testimony was likely to, at least in part, focus on Peter Strzok’s role in the Hillary Clinton email investigation.

Strzok is a former deputy to the assistant director at the FBI who was removed from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's staff after Mueller learned Strzok had exchanged anti-Trump texts with a colleague.

House investigators previously told Fox News they have long regarded Strzok as a key figure in the chain of events when the bureau, in 2016, received the infamous anti-Trump “dossier,” which launched a counterintelligence investigation into possible Russian meddling in the election.

“This was a routine scheduling error after the dates were switched on an internal email that we are happy to provide the committee,” a Justice Department official told Fox News. “The FBI regrets the error, and we look forward to making both witnesses (the alleged FBI handler for Christopher Steele and McCabe) available prior to the Christmas recess."

Needs time to coordinate “stories” with the other likely conspirators. Subpoena his ass to testify NOW and UNDER OATH. And consider him a hostile witness,

IOW, we need a little more time to destroy evidence and concoct a story. Don't call us, we'll call you.

First off: What "scheduling conflict" would take priority over a scheduled appearance before Congress?

If I were in Congress, I'd demand to know what was more important than appearing before elected representatives at the pre-arranged time.

Secondly: Tomorrow is shaping up to be a MASSIVE news day.

Alabama election. More on this Ohr business. And late-breaking rumors of another MAJOR Congressional figure about to be in hot water over sexual improprieties.

Hold on to your hats.

FBI scheduling error my arse. The Deep State needs more time to get all their stories straight. OBSTRUCT, IGNORE, STONEWALL, AND.. DELAY!!! Part of running out the clock is delaying whenever and wherever possible. How HILLARY-ESQUE OF THEM.

Trump better get his act together and start SERIOUSLY cutting the CANCER CALLED 'THE DEEP STATE' OUT of our agencies!!!

Schiff’s neck was caught canoodling with other pencils in various Congressional offices.

The word came from Cernovich (who, like him or not) broke the Conyers story.

According to him, this one will be bigger, and more awful, than Conyers.

Some have speculated that it may be Schumer. Apparently, there's a story floating around that he was involved with an underage cheerleader... but to be fair, it's not a story I can believe.

We'll have to see what the papers say tomorrow, if anything.

Scheduling error. Right. The American people sure hope that you have time to pencil us in, McCabe, between all your other important commitments, that is.

One thing I will say about Deep State, they are a bunch of arrogant sons-o-bitches. First one who gets a 20-year reservation in the grey bar hotel may encourage the others, but not much less than that will now suffice. These people are our ruling class and they're not reluctant to remind us.

Also, this from Michael Caputo:

Phones ringing all over DC. Rumors: major newspaper breaking a story of dozens of Congress cads. Serious stuff.

POTUS Trump should order McCabe to appear on Tuesday and answer all questions (”command appearance”). Otherwise, fire the POS.

Yes. I hope he does order him to appear. If McCabe refuses, and Trump fires him, how could the Congress object?!? Very good idea.

IMO McCabe is already the subject of a criminal investigation.

No, I saw that “Schumer and the cheerleader” item, it was from a satirical blog that mocks conservatives. A lot of people are circulating it, but it is crap (at least in the version I saw). I don’t put anything past these dirty ‘Rats but that particular story was like The Onion but designed to make conservatives look bad for pursuing it.
