FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe testified behind closed doors for nearly eight hours Tuesday on Capitol Hill, amid calls for his firing over allegations of conflicts of interest and anti-Trump political prejudice at the law enforcement bureau.
McCabe's testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, which had been rescheduled from last week, was the latest development in a controversy swirling around text messages exchanged between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, who worked on Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe.
McCabe was believed to be the "Andy" to whom Strzok and Page referred in their messages.

Gowdy and other committee members were tight-lipped on the details of McCabes testimony on Tuesday, and most avoided speaking with reporters. But the committees ranking member,U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said McCabe has been a professional FBI agent and that he does not understand the calls of some to fire him.

Being interviewed/interrogated for 8 hours is a long time. This should be interesting to see where this goes.
Leaks? What leaks Shift was out bad mouthing the tax bill.
I don't think so. What threatens the Swamp creatures is not media exposure but criminal prosecution. The Swamp has used media leaks to spin while the AG and his inspector general have quietly accumulated evidence for trial. Trump has kept his enemies close and observed them "working" as government employees in government offices using government communications - while they thought they were safe and that Mueller had Trump on the run.
Kabuki theater. Drag these rotten traitorous bastards in front of the public, NOT behind closed doors. Closed door hearings are a serious problem.
“Also, no leaks - it must have been brutal for McCabe, because Dems would be leaking any exonerating information.”
The no leaks is very telling.
“The number of Nothing Will Come of This posts on this thread and threads like this one just amazes me. As if Congress should be out arresting and jailing people instead of just grilling Skunk McCabe for nearly 8 hours.
Boring comments. Not helpful. I skip over them.”

Well, can you point to anything that has come of these hearings? I know of nothing except hot air.
I suspect these closed-door "hearings" are nothing more than private strategizing sessions where the swamp creatures double check to insure their stories all line up and to plan their next line of attack on Trump and his deplorable supporters.
Wonder if Andy’s “F#ck Flynn” comment is haunting him?
From what Ive read Sessions DOJ has done quite a bit of obstructing. Congress has been asking for docs. and Sessions has produced nada.
Halderman, Erlichman, Dean, Mitchell and others went to prison for Watergate.
I listened to those committee hearings religiously. This is far more serious than Watergate.
It looks that way, but the anti-Trump conspirators have dug themselves a deeper hole and exposed themselves to increased criminal liability. Look into what DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz has been doing and you should feel better. And remember that Horowitz works directly for the attorney general.
Thanks for your insult that I do not know about government.

LOL. Exactly the response I expected. But Im patient. Im sure youll answer my question soon.
...” This is far more serious than Watergate”....
You’re right ...it’s very close , if not actually, a Constitutional Crisis..
Andrew McCabe has been riding dirty! A verified Deep Swamp wise guy and made man.
Agreed. But you also need to say who is the problem.
Jeff Sessions, Jeff Sessions and Jeff Sessions.
I had to recuse myself, fish lips said.
I think so. You won't get prosecutions without media exposure.
Interesting history. I remember it well.
But it doesnt answer my question. Dont feel bad - I didnt expect an answer.
