What was the former FBI Director doing on the View unless he he was directed by handlers to attend??
Meghan McCain, wow.
Insert Broken Clock Metaphor here.
Meghan McCain stuns Yo-Yo...
Good for her.
She did more for her country in that one encounter, than her worthless Dad, after he returned from Nam.
Eh... more like Hillary herself was the leaker; to prevent anyone else from grabbing any “progressive” glory
McCabe is on a book tour.
Kabuki Theatre by both McCain AND McCabe.
Big Fatty steps up to the plate and drops down a perfect bunt for the base hit. Nobody was expecting that!
The nerve of this ass going on a book tour is unbelievable.
Arrest his stupid ass.
Not really. He denied that he "leaked" to the NY Times.
His story is that Comey approved the information he gave surreptitiously to the NYTimes, so it wasn't a leak.
Comey denies he gave him information to complete the cycle, and in their minds the NY Times gets the information and both of them can claim they didn't leak it.
Co-host Joy Behar then chimed in, I thought you guys wrote everything down.
McCabe responded that they wrote things down when dealing with people they didnt trust.
BEHAR: “Like the president.” (Laughter)
McCabe: “Right.”
Even an anosmic pig finds a truffle every once in a while....
McCabe implicated the Gang of 8 which included John McCain I believe. Hence Megan digging her claws into McCabe.
I guess that explains why they didn't take notes when they were investigating Hillary. They "trusted" the target of the investigation.
Mr. McCabe denied it. Alrighty, let’s move on.
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.
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.
She asked some good questions... more than the usual View ‘feelings’ tripe...
