AP learns fired McCabe kept personal memos regarding Trump

WASHINGTON (AP) — Andrew McCabe, the onetime FBI deputy director long scorned by President Trump and just fired by the attorney general, kept personal memos regarding Trump that are similar to the notes compiled by dismissed FBI chief James Comey detailing interactions with him, The Associated Press has learned.

It was not immediately clear whether any of McCabe’s memos have been turned over to special counsel Robert Mueller, whose criminal investigation is examining Trump campaign ties to Russia and possible obstruction of justice, or been requested by Mueller.

McCabe’s memos include details of interactions with the president, among other topics, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation who wasn’t authorized to discuss the memos publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Comment was brief & didn’t get that specific, but I’m guessing it would go back to the Hilly email “investigation” under Obama & as long as McCabe was in place, agents were afraid to speak up.

BTW, here’s some McCabe info I ran into a while back ... very interesting stuff:

I see why that was confusing. I wish I could find the link where I saw the comments on this. I’ll try to be more clear.

Evidently there have been some agents that did try to blow the whistle in the past on various issues. They were treated harshly. The remaining agents who had info but had not spoken out, got the message & stayed mum. Now that McCabe is gone, the thought is that the agents that kept quiet out of fear of losing jobs/careers, etc. will now feel that they can speak up.

Found it – it was Adam Housley, Senior Fox Correspondent on his twitter link. Where I saw this originally was on a roundup of comments from various people commenting last night on McCabe’s firing. I went through Housley’s feed & pulled out some of the more important tweets – a couple of these are what I saw last night, which was the source of my comments. Also, below is a link to his twitter feed so you can read his comments (more than what I pulled out) if you’re interested.

.... we never said it was all Democrats, its just that the majority of these people were, in fact, Democrats. We already know it was a clique. But this clique did a lot of damage, didn’t it?

As a reporter I will repeat this once more. I could care less if this helps Trump, or helps politically in any way. I just know a ton of men and women in the FBI who do damn good work and they were watching how this clique would be handled. McCabe has many who do not support

This decision will encourage agents to trust coming forward. Others who had during the clique’s time in charge got buried and mistreated and it kept agents from coming forward. Again..this began before Trump. It was about control.

This was about power by a group within the FBI. A clique. I see Republicans already making this political and tying it in a much different way than it was. Dems tying it to Trump...both would be wrong.

I am told yesterday McCabe felt the heat and went to try and save his last two days and even told some he would take people down with him if he as fired. So...let’s see what comes of this. I know this...a ton of agents...a ton...were watching this very closely.

Wray and McCabe’s meeting did not go well and it was McCabe who challenged the Director. McCabe stepped down because of this and tried to ride it out until retirement. Truth internally came out before that happened. This has nothing to do with Trumps tweets or Nunes memo

The totality of what McCabe has done hasn’t been disclosed to the public.

Again...this isn’t about politics..this was an internal thing that became political. It started before Trump. Both sides are tho going to make this political. I mean...that’s what they do.

McCabe had some friends as part of his group. Some have left...a few are still around. FYI

McCabe blaming Nunes and the dossier is beyond incorrect. The internal investigation took all that into consideration and much more. Ask the agents in the bureau, not the politicians and media outside of it. That’s what I did. They had a ton of stuff on him...a ton.

From day 1 I have said the McCabe issue was not about politics for agents. This began before Trump was elected and there are many who were watching how the Bureau handled him. Tonight...a message has been sent according to the agents I am speaking with. McCabe is our.

A bunch of FBI agents I know are watching how McCabe is handled very closely. For them this isn’t political, it was about how things were handled internally.

Exactly. Who cares what Andy wrote on some memo, as if just because it’s in a memo, written down, it’s somehow evidence of anything. It’s nothing.

I’m with Sub-Driver. I’m so sick of this Russia Russia Russia crap it’s not even funny. And I can’t believe I (and Sub-Driver) are the only ones in this country sick of it.

So keep it up Dems, you’re boring more and more of the country each day with this madness.

I am betting...that Comey was also wired and recorded the phone calls with the President.

So far...no one asked.
