Chuck Ross ^ | 10/10/19 | Dailey Caller

Andrew McCabe, the embattled former FBI deputy director, said at a recent event that former British spy Christopher Steele disclosed to FBI investigators that his infamous anti-Trump dossier should not be taken as “gospel,” and that he could not vouch for the accuracy of some of the material in the infamous document.

McCabe, who spoke Oct. 3 at an event hosted by journalist Carl Bernstein, was defending the FBI’s handling of the Steele dossier by insisting investigators were aware of the document’s flaws during the Trump probe. The FBI’s handling of the dossier is the subject of a Justice Department inspector general’s investigation that began in March 2018.

Basically McCabe admits that the entire FBI Crossfire Hurricane investigation was a scam, but gives it the veil of respectability by giving an interview to Carl Bernstein. at The New School.

So he’s essentially, to a layman’s mind, admitting to perjury on any FISA warrants he signed?

Duh.. Of course they knew the dossier was crapola.

The problems is that they used it anyway.

Now, the bastids can say that they knew all along and ADMITTTED, that the dossier was not “gospel.”

They think that will work in their favor, BUT if they “knew all along” where did they get the gall to present it as “verified facts.”

High school level minimizing excuses.

Is Andrew McCabe backpedaling? Is he admitting that he was unprofessional, by accepting tainted, inaccurate material?

Is Christopher Steele unprofessional by putting forward inaccurate material? Would you provide material that you could not vouch for the accuracy of "some" of it?

Andrew McCabe and Christopher Steele belong in jail for fraud and treason. They betrayed the trust of our country. They wasted many tax dollars behaving like common criminals.

Not gospel, but good enough evidently to use for FISA requests against your political opponents.

Operation Crossfire Hurricane. The hurricane is heading for them now.

IG has already sent draft of FISA report findings to McCabe lawyers.

McCabe knows exactly what Horowitz is going to report, and is trying to save his ass.

Mistakes were made. This kind of thing just happens from time to time and is an unfortunate risk of the investigative process that they are so professionally dedicated to. /sarc

This segment looks so rehearsed, as though Bernstein walked McCabe through it right before the seminar.

Why not?

Biden bragged about his own crimes, and EVERY Rat supports him.

Somebody needs to dig into Flamesey Grahamnesty’s role in the dossier dissemination.
You know if McCain was involved, so was his mini-me.
