The View co-host Meghan McCain confronted Andrew McCabe on Tuesday, asking the former FBI director point blank if he was a source for The New York Times.
I dont believe youre a reliable narrator and Im not convinced this isnt just some kind of PR campaign to stop yourself from getting indicted, McCain said. "You were fired at the recommendation of the FBI, which, in your book, you cite four times how great of an organization it is, for your lack of candor.

I guess that explains why they didn't take notes when they were investigating Hillary. They "trusted" the target of the investigation.
Don't forget that McCain was head of the Foreign Affairs committee (or whatever it's called). He had access to a whole lot of info he could twist to meet his own agenda.
Mr. McCabe denied it. Alrighty, let’s move on.
I think he leaked to the Morning Joe crew because they were all over the 25th Amendment coup. They discussed that it was being considered to bring Trump down.
LOL!
I see you are a McCabe believer, even when his lies are self-contradicting
“One can’t help but wonder if McCain was too.”
McCain was the one tasked to bring the dossier to the FBI, so it didn’t appear to come from the Democrats. Of course he was in on it.
We live in a clown world where one can break the law and take a big sh*t on the country with no repercussions and then cash out with pension,lucrative book deal,speaking events and being a talking head on a fake news channel. That's the new America.
I want to know what her father had to do with this.
Same moment James Comey is being fired, McCabe is being interviewed by INSD regarding media leaks that occurred in an Oct. 30, 2016, Wall Street Journal article, FBI in Internal Feud Over Hillary Clinton Probe, by Devlin Barrett. Two agents from the FBIs inspection division, expanding an existing investigation of media leaks, had decided to interview the deputy director about the Oct. 30 Wall Street Journal story because it appeared to show someone had improperly revealed McCabes private conversation with a Justice Department official.
All McCain had to do if she was sincere was look at Horowitz 2018 report and see this excerpt:
'"We also found that on May 9, 2017, when questioned under oath by FBI agents from INSD, McCabe lacked candor when he told the agents that he had not authorized the disclosure to the WSJ and did not know who did. This conduct violated FBI Offense Code 2.6 (Lack of Candor Under Oath).
May 9, 2017 a day for the history books . . .
Rosenstein submits the the memorandum of referal to fire James Comey,
McCabe is being questioned under oath by FBI agents from INSD,
While Comey is giving a speech in Los Angeles, POTUS sends his former head of security (Keith Schiller) is sent to FBI headquarters delivering the letter of Comey's firing,
Strzok sends a message to Page: "We need to open the case weve been waiting on now while Andy is acting."
Mccabe opens up a "CRIMINAL investigation against the President of the USA, with the following statement from the New York Times . . . .
Counterintelligence investigators had to consider whether the presidents own actions constituted a possible threat to national security. Agents also sought to determine whether Mr. Trump was knowingly working for Russia or had unwittingly fallen under Moscows influence.
In the next few days both McCabe and Trump would seal their fate with unforced errors.
McCabe would tell congress that he (McCabe) saw no evidence of obstruction from President Trump or his administration. HE DID NOT LIE! The investigation is NOT about obstruction rather a CRIMINAL investigation (see Lisa Page's testimony one year later). The public still has not been told anything about it, thus why things don't make sense in general terms.
Trump made an stupid error when he was interviewed by Lester Holt two days later and say the Russia investigation was one of the reasons he fired Comey. That subject was NOT in the memorandum and he was gaining support for his actions in firing Comey, then he says that comment and the rest is history.
“What was the former FBI Director doing on the View unless he was directed by handlers to attend?”
Apparently the handlers were erroneously told Megan had the day off to attend a Jenny Craig meeting.
He is selling a book IIRC.
Nice little bit of theatre and sleight of hand, asking bluntly about leaking to the New York Times when the problem was with the Wall Street Journal. Wouldnt be surprised if McCabes show prep had something to do with throwing that one in there, it lets Meghan McCain sound tough while giving him an opportunity to vehemently deny leaking. Well, he didnt leak to the NYT and was never accused of such. It was the WSJ.
Her worthless dad is the one that proffered the “dossier” up to the press, she’s trying to vaccinate herself.
Good observation. Small details, like what the meaning of “is” is.
She asked some good questions... more than the usual View ‘feelings’ tripe...
