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. Wouldn’t be surprised if McCabe’s 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 didn’t leak to the NYT and was never accused of such. It was the WSJ.
Good observation. Small details, like what the meaning of “is” is.
