Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe informed Comey that CNN would use the existence of the briefing as the basis for its story. “The trigger for them is they know the material was discussed in the brief and presented in an attachment,” he wrote. (Likewise, the FBI’s Peter Strzok appeared to have his own oddly close relationship with the media.)
How did McCabe know what CNN’s trigger for running the story would be? And why would he need to have that information and distribute it within the Bureau?
The obvious explanation is coordination.
The current is a vast conspiracy that will extend from the former president down to and including clerk typists that prepared the conspiratorial documents.
Then there are the publishers and CEO’s of newspapers and TV networks. Although protected by the first amendment for what they say, they are not protected from the criminal conspiracy charges. It will be easily shown that regular channels of communication were established to propagandize the conspiracy objectives.
