CNN pundit Andrew McCabe apologized for lying to federal investigators concerning a 2016 leak to The Wall Street Journal about the Hillary Clinton email probe, but you wouldn't know it if you were tuning in to his employer.
Transcripts released last week revealed McCabe’s apology, which underscores his legal jeopardy as U.S. Attorney John Durham continues the Justice Department's criminal probe into potential bureau misconduct.
The transcripts released by the Justice Department specifically raised the possibility that ex-Deputy FBI Director McCabe, now a paid CNN commentator, could face a false statements charge similar to the one leveled against former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
CNN had not covered news of McCabe’s apology in regards to the Wall Street Journal leak through Monday morning, according to a search of the network’s transcripts.
McCabe has even made at least two appearances on CNN since the transcripts were released, once to discuss the conflict with Iran on Jan. 3 and another time to opine about Trump’s impeachment on Jan. 5.
Some CNN staffers were stunned when the network that touts a “Facts First” slogan hired McCabe in late August after he was fired from the FBI for lying.
CNN did not respond to a request for comment about McCabe’s apology for lying to federal investigators. CNN also did not respond when asked to confirm that it didn’t cover news of the transcript showing as much.

But on Aug. 18, 2017, McCabe's story changed when he was confronted with other evidence, including emails and witness accounts, which conflicted with his prior statements. Asked again whether he was aware of the leak to the Journal and had personally authorized it, McCabe was unequivocal.
"And as nice as could be, he said, 'Yep. Yep I did,'" the FBI agent said, according to the transcripts.

correspondent Andrew McCabe apologized for lying to investigators
/s
They threw Mike Flynn into the meat grinder for lying to the FBI.
What will they say or do when he is indicted?..........Can’t spin that as a positive......
All we have is SOMEONE at CNN who SAID McCabe apologized:
“I remember saying to him, ‘Sir, you understand that we’ve put a lot of work into this based on what you told us,’” the investigating agent told McCabe, according to the documents. “I mean, and I even said, ‘Long nights and weekends working on this trying to find out who amongst your ranks of trusted people would, would do something like that.’ And [McCabe] kind of just looked down, kind of nodded and said, ‘Yeah, I’m sorry.’”
Sounds like our domestic enemies want to protect him from prosecution because, “Hey, he apologized.”
CNN is ATT
Why would CNN do anything about it?
They LIE all the time, its what they do.
McCabe’s behavior is a textbook case of ‘conspiracy to defraud the US government’. Has a 5-year sentence.
6AM raid at his house with swat team and warrants.
Indict him now!
Yes and I dumped ATT. If you use ATT dump them and you can do better.
Andrew McCabe Lied to FBI Agents and Now...He's Sorry? Or Just Trying to Avoid Prison?

Yeah, right. Like anything is going to happen. Wake me if any frog marching starts.
See if the FBIAS accepts your apology if you lie to them sometime.
He is just one scumbag liar that works for CNN.
Will McCabe interview himself on CNN? Do a deep, thoughtful piece on himself?
Maybe CNN will have ValJar’s daughter, CNN reporter Laura Jarrett, interview McCabe?
Oh he APOLOGIZED.
Well that makes it all good right?
Everybody knows CNN is a trash bin.
