Remember....every paper in the country had a picture of Hillary ready.
Agreed, it is presumed he wrote it...or an attorney wrote it for him. It obviously was well prepared in anticipation of being fired. Some of the wording and spin are too similar to DNC and MSM, ...it’s all about Trump ..Trump using the institutions for political purposes, McCabe was going to corroborate Comey, Trump is the reason for the firing, blah blah blah. Not surprising as he apparently is a fellow traveler. But this is actually good because it confirms what has been reported that before Trump became President, McCabe was anti-Trump all along. Hence it is believable that he may have acted in unethical and perhaps illegal ways against the President-elect.
While the press has focused McCabe’s anti-Trump angle, the focus first should have been on McCabe’s answer to the cause of his firing - “lack of candor”, i.e. lying... He says that at worst he was “distracted” in the midst of chaotic events...that he answered as truthfully as he could amidst the chaos. (How does one answer “as truthfully as he could”? Does this mean one might not be able to be truthful if there is chaos around and therefore this is excusable?)
He also said when he thought “his answers” were “misunderstood” he then contacted investigators to “correct them”. I wonder what Flynn thinks about that? Or better, Martha Stewart who “corrected her records” too after speaking to investigators. And McCabe wants some slack cut for him for his “misunderstood” statements? If he is lucky, he will only have been fired.
The bottom line is there is now a strong public record that McCabe lies; despite the MSM’s hack partisanship, McCabe’s credibility, his ability to be truthful amidst chaos and under pressure is impeachable should he try to corroborate Comey’s version of discussions with Trump. As you say, McCabe is an attorney and he knows about impeaching witnesses and their testimony.
