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.

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

Criminals and Liars always have rifts. It’s in their deceptive human nature. This is just a Bureaucratic Drive By Shooting.

Your money’s safe. Sessions just pulled a stall and dodge move by having a Rosenweasel flunkee “look into it”. Unless Trump fires Session or Rosenstein nothing will happen to any of these traitors.

You know this has to be eating McCabe alive. He is dependent on handouts from go fund me and Comey gets gazillions for a book and is a rock star on TV.

Not really. McCabe lied to Comey and the OIG. Comey, OTOH, lied to Congress and the President. There are plenty of buses to go around.

democRATS usually circle the wagons but in this case, someone could go to jail.

So instead, they're borrowing from the Republican playbook, Circular Firing Squads.

Every man for himself.

If McCabe lied to Comey. you can bet your booties that Comey KNEW he was lying. Cuz Comey....like a good attorney...would only ask a question that he already knew the answer.

Comey is an egomaniac...he’d throw anyone under the bus. He even tried to “trap” the President.

Last I heard, McCabe was going to sue the department. Good luck with that.
