Andrew McCabe’s denials to his FBI colleagues that he was behind a media leak related to the Clinton Foundation investigation in October 2016 cast suspicion on his loyal aide, Lisa Page, former FBI Director James Comey said in an interview with the Justice Department’s inspector general.
In a Nov. 15, 2017, interview, Comey said McCabe denied to him that he was involved in a leak for an Oct. 30, 2016, story in The Wall Street Journal that disclosed the existence of an investigation into the Clinton Foundation.
Because of McCabe’s denials, Comey’s chief of staff, James Rybicki, came to suspect that Page, McCabe’s general counsel, might have revealed the information for the story.
“I actually didn’t suspect Andy,” Comey said in the interview.
“After conversations with Rybicki my worry was is his aide doing it,” he added, referring to Page.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington obtained the transcript of Comey’s interview in January, but it has not been reported in the media.
The Justice Department on Friday closed an investigation of McCabe. Prosecutors in Washington, D.C., were weighing whether to charge McCabe with making false statements to FBI investigators and the Justice Department’s office of the inspector general regarding his role in authorizing Page to speak with a reporter from The WSJ.
The inspector general found that McCabe displayed a “lack of candor” four times by denying any role in the leak.
Page congratulated her former boss in a Twitter post on Friday after the Justice Department closed the case.

I do not in any way trust Comey, McCabe, or Page. I assume that all three are pure evil - traitors who consciously worked to overthrow the duly-elected President of the United States.
They all were in on it. They also knew nothing would happen. Worked just as planned.
“asked him to pull phone and email records for FBI employees in order to snuff out the leaker.”
Snuff out the leaker??? Maybe a Freudian slip.
Maybe not . . .
Lisa Page should be watching her back. Or let Strozk watch it while he is . . .
If Comey and McCabe are both denying it, then they are both lying. Page would not have leaked without instructions from Comey or McCabe. She was just a tool.
Worked just as planned . . . with one exception. We chose a fighter rather than an elitist like Romney. Mitt really wants to be included in the best parties and hear the beautiful people say something positive about him even if that is only once in a year. President Trump cares about saving American freedom. Trump won’t cave when our country’s enemies say mean things about him.
Well the left has the FBI, CIA, STATE DEPT, NSA on their side. They also have Judges that the prosecutors work with to get their folks off. President is just one man with very little Calvery to help him, have his back.
Democrats always have incredible loyalists who protect their Presidents. Our side, their turn, write books, vote against their President, etc. We even had Paul Ryan who managed to force 40 of our Reps to retire or not run thus costing us the house in 2018.
Can you see Schumer doing that to his party?
Enjoy the show.
