Congressman alleges McCabe lied to Comey, hinting at rift between FBI officials
Washington Post ^ | March 30, 2018 | By Karoun Demirjian and Matt Zapotosky

The FBI’s disciplinary office found that ousted deputy director Andrew McCabe lied to his boss, then-director James B. Comey, in October 2016 about having authorized the disclosure of sensitive information to a reporter, a Republican congressman whose office reviewed the findings alleged Friday.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said in an interview that McCabe lied to Comey when Comey asked him how sensitive information ended up in an October 2016 Wall Street Journal story detailing internal tension at the FBI and Justice Department over an investigation into matters surrounding the Clinton Foundation. Jordan’s staffers, along with staffers for Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, were permitted this week to view a report on McCabe from the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility, Jordan said.

According to Jordan, the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility determined that McCabe lied to his superiors and investigators four times: to Comey in October 2016; to FBI investigators in May; and to the Office of the Inspector General twice, beginning in the summer.

If McCabe lied to Comey. you can bet your booties that Comey KNEW he was lying.

You know, that sounds about right. Comey knows McCabe leaked, so getting McCabe to lie about it means Comey has some deniability plus future leverage on McCabe if Comey needs it. Very Machiavellian.

Don't let Comey off the hook that easily!

Comey is the MASTERMIND!




James Comey is a corrupt FIXER for Hillary!



Comey, the Elite’s Fixer, “Busted”, Recieved Millions from Clintons

BUT....remember, Comey leaked, too via his friend the professor. So perhaps tit for tat.

The first to squeal gets the deal.

The first to talk gets to walk.

But, when dealing with the Clintons

Snitches Get (more than) Stitches.

Difficult decisions ahead for the coup plotters.

Not beyond comey. He tried to sucker in trump too. The good news there is he forgot one thing never underestimate your opponent.

Someone is flipping. McCabre is setting up a legal defense fund, Combover is doing a book tour. Gee, wonder which one?

I guess McCabe thought he had top cover. He thought wrong...

The old Obama appointees at the FBI need to be summarily fired just because they are totally conflicted by virtue of the fact that they were appointed by the super criminal Obama.....

My $$ says neither McCabe or Comey goes to jail or even gets prosecuted. They will be protected by the Powers-that-Be.

Including Jeff S - who REFUSES to to allow anything but i"Investigate" - but allow NO actual power of prosecution. He's the Swamp's gatekeeper, pure and simple. Why, is unclear. Is he a Swamp Creature? Is he blackmailed? Is he intimidated, a little pantywaist out of his depth?

I really doesn't matter the WHY. He's helping to run out the clock...while refusing to do anything about the criminal Mueller shenanigans...

We may as well have Holder still in office.

Not from that side - not as long as Jeffie is AG

That’s my initial take - says Comey is the dirtier and they need to protect him no matter who else they sacrifice.

Try to keep up. Sessions bashing is going out of style.

You sound like one of the Ivanka Jared bashers that kept pushing the narrative that they were controlling Trump long after that meme went out of style.

If you want to remain hip you need to find out what the never Trumpers are harping on currently, not jump on old bandwagons that are totally passé.

Sundance at the Last Refuge has a good piece. His theory is a group are cooperating witnesses, including Deep Stroke and Page Boy, and that some, like McCabre, are the targets.

I get how this works, but it would sure be nice if they could do this without ANY of these people getting a “cooperating witness” immunity.

Sundance at the Last Refuge theorizes Deep Stroke and Pageboy, among others, have turned. There are “witnesses” then there are “targets.” McCabre is one of the latter.
