Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe apologized to an FBI investigator after changing his story regarding a leak to the media in October 2016, according to documents released Tuesday.
McCabe was interviewed May 9, 2017, the same day James Comey was fired as FBI director, regarding two separate leaks to the media. During the interview, FBI agents also asked McCabe whether he knew how FBI information wound up in an Oct. 23, 2016, Wall Street Journal article about an investigation of the Clinton Foundation.
McCabe said during that sit-down he did not know how the Journal story came about, but he changed his story in an interview several months later, an FBI agent told investigators with the Justice Department’s inspector general (IG). The IG later determined McCabe directed his general counsel, Lisa Page, to share information with a Journal reporter regarding the Clinton Foundation investigation.
McCabe admitted his role in authorizing the leaks during an interview with FBI agents Aug. 15, 2017, according to the documents, which were obtained by the liberal watchdog group, Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington.
"I need to know from you did you authorize this article? Were you aware of it? Did you authorize it?” the FBI agent said he asked McCabe during the follow-up interview.
“And as nice as could be, he said, yep. Yep I did,” the FBI agent said of McCabe, according to the documents, which The Daily Beast first reported.

The story was the leak that the dems gave 500,000 to a woman running for office on Virginia whose husband was later put on the Clinton Foundation case. It was an anti-dem leak.
Not only leaking but charge him with lying to the FB eye.

We need to SEE justice served sooner rather than later.
I agree.
Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and Former FBI Deputy Director James Comey both intentionally made false official statements as part of their attempt to overthrow the duly-elected President of the United States. Had President Trump made a false statement under oath, he would have been impeached for it - and the charge would have had some merit. Why are these McCabe and Comey not behind bars? Traitors disgust me.
Why would McCabe want Lisa Page to share info about himself and about McAuliffe’s donations to McCabe’s wife ?
OCTOBER 23, 2016 : (BARRETT’S WSJ ARTICLE REVEALS MCCABE’S WIFE JILL MCCABE RECEIVED ALMOST $700,000 FROM TERRY MCAULIFFE) 7. This follows Barrett’s Oct 23, ‘16 WSJ article revealing McCabes wife [Jill McCabe] received almost $700,000 from Terry McCauliffe for her senate run at a time McCabe was over seeing TWO Clinton investigations & mcauliffe was under FBI probe.— NameRedacted7 (@NameRedacted7) April 15, 2018

8. This led to great panic on the part of McCabe who within days ordered his Aide Lisa Page & AD/OPA Kortan to meet w Barrett. They communicated w him several times about this ultimately revealing that DOJ wanted the Clinton Foundation case stopped.— NameRedacted7 (@NameRedacted7) April 15, 2018
Lacking candor
Well, in NYC as of January 1, that IS how it works. Even perps having committed very serious crimes are now being bounced right back out on the street, don't have to pay bail, and are gifted with tickets to athletic games, money, clothes, etc.
An alleged “apology” is NOT cutting it, period!
Send the mofo to prison already, kkthx!?
So why isn’t he frog marched and indicted?
Multiple felonies.
Oh right, he’s part of the protected class.
If these people don't go too jail we as a country are screwed.
That's an admission, not an apology.
Wow! It’s Jan 2—is that FBI agent still alive as someone who heard that information first hand and not as rumor? God bless him and keep him safe.
