AP learns McCabe kept memos on Trump; Mueller now has them

WASHINGTON (AP) — Andrew McCabe, the onetime FBI deputy director long scorned by President Donald Trump and just fired by the attorney general, kept personal memos detailing interactions with the president that have been provided to the special counsel’s office and are similar to the notes compiled by dismissed FBI chief James Comey, The Associated Press has learned.

The memos could factor into special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation as his team examines Trump campaign ties to Russia and possible obstruction of justice.

McCabe’s memos include details of his own interactions with the president, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation who wasn’t authorized to discuss the notes publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. They also recount different conversations he had with Comey, who kept notes on meetings with Trump that unnerved him.

Though the precise contents are unknown, the memos possibly could help substantiate McCabe’s assertion that he was unfairly maligned by a White House he says had declared “war” on the FBI and Mueller’s investigation.

Just a Note..

McCabe wife is the one who ran for a State Senate Position in Virginia...Not Comey
s wife...I don't even know what Comey’s wife did or does other than have a house full of kids...

McAguffie is definitely a Hillary/Bill butt kisser..and he will never be POTUS just as Hillary will never be POTUS...

AMERICANS HAVE AWAKENED IN 2016 AND THEY NEED TO GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER FOR NOV. 2018. Democrats in control of Congress are EVIL AND DANGEROUS.

McCabe was terminated for lying. Tough to be a star wutbess with that distinction.

This charade needs to end without delay by concluding Mueller’s employment.

Let him go write books with Comey.

These so-called Comey/McCabe memos are sounding more and more like the email Susan Rice sent to herself about that meeting at the White Hut before Bambi left office. After the fact...and to cover their lying, traitorous a$$es.

EXACTLY.

Actually I heard she sent that email in literally her LAST HOUR in the WH and legally BHO had already legally left office.

"t sounds like he and Director Comey were constructing paper trails of legends and alibis “just in case”.

Sounds like the McCabe took out several "insurance policies"

I can’t wait to see McCabe’s memos for meetings with Obama. Yeah, right, sure. Mass sarcasm.

We are a long way from Elliot Ness and Dragnet. State and FBI are now wings of the Democrat party. I honestly never thought I would see the day, but it is the reason I have always shouted we should not give law enforcement too much power. Nobody can police the police when they become the threat, so don’t give them enough power to become the threat in the first place.

Yes, there is probably no way to verify that the notes were written immediately after the meetings—not that that would bother Mueller. Even if they were contemporaneous, they would only show what was already known, that McCabe was part of the conspiracy to drive President Trump out of office.

Liars lie, even when they write it down.

Amazing that idiots don’t understand that simple concept. We don’t have any idea if he decided Saturday morning to write some “creative, after the fact” memos. I have no doubt Comey did just that. Criminals stick together.

We all know Mueller is aiming for the November elections — so why wouldn’t the President be targeting that date, as well.

This will be a very interesting October, if not the most interesting ever for a midterm election cycle.

Don’t think that will stop Gestapo Mueller and his band of miscreants.

Yep, that is my take, too. I am seeing this swamp beginning to drain. One can hope.

So, there is no collusion. Now they are, as predicted, going after process crimes (obstruction of justice).

Meanwhile, obvious criminal Hilary skates?
