New Book: McCabe Initiated White House Meeting That Led To Leak By Mollie Hemingway January 29, 2018
Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe asked to speak privately with White House chief of staff Reince Priebus following a February 2017 intelligence briefing. ... McCabe said he asked for the meeting to tell Priebus that "everything" in a New York Times story authored by Michael S. Schmidt, Mark Mazzetti, and Matt Apuzzo was "bullsh-t." ...McCabe claimed to want Priebus to know the FBI's perspective that this story was not true. Priebus pointed to the televisions that were going non-stop on the story. He asked if the FBI could say publicly what he had just told him. McCabe said he'd have to check ...
Now, a week later, CNN was airing a breaking news story naming Priebus. According to "multiple U.S. officials," the network said, "the FBI rejected a White House request to publicly knock down media reports about communications between Donald Trump's associates and Russians known to U.S. intelligence."
Priebus was stunned by the implication that he was pressuring law enforcement. Had he been set up? Why was the FBI leaking this information when one of its top officials [McCabe] had initiated the conversation?
The book is "Media Madness" by Howard Kurtz.
Mollie's article (linked above) is a very good read. My excerpt does not do it justice.
