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 counsels 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 Muellers investigation as his team examines Trump campaign ties to Russia and possible obstruction of justice.
McCabes memos include details of his own interactions with the president, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation who wasnt 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 McCabes assertion that he was unfairly maligned by a White House he says had declared war on the FBI and Muellers investigation.

If the memo’s helped McCabe (and hurt Trump) we’d already have seen them [leaked]

They were probably turned over to Mueller months ago.
If he was fired for lying to the FBI leadership then he can't even credibly attest to the accuracy and the origin of the information in those memos.

I’d be curious to know how many times Trump and McCabe even met in person.

The notes were dictated by Susan Rice.

Exactly, the OPR of the FBI recommended that DOJ fire him which Sessions did. McCabe should be worrying about criminal charges not some twisted memo he wrote to himself.

Why is he just now turning them over to Mueller?
Because the ink wasn't dry yesterday.
These 'notes' are probably of recent construction.

McCabe has already lied, now is there a pattern to his behavior?

Comey’s good buddy surely knows that there's *nothing* to “Russian Collusion” so,loyal Rat that he is,he'll now go for “obstruction of justice”.
P>If,by chance,Bella Pelosi becomes Speaker next January that will be the charge that DJT is impeached on.

As Limbaugh pointed out, Mueller wants a witness, and a lying witness will suffice.

Comey and McCabe are crooked as hell, so any “notes” or “memos” they wrote to exonerate themselves are worthless, except as possible evidence of their own crimes.
Certainly their pretense that their “witness testimony” is worth more than a cup of warm spit is a false one....

Exactly. We’re supposed to take this POS notes he wrote as word? Yea okay. This little b.s. game.
To: mdittmar
The notes are as trustworthy as a diary . . . kept by a divorcing spouse and “documenting” everything the other person does. Would a corrupt and disgraced FBI agent lie to us on his way out?

Not sure how much these could be worth. Like Rice’s emails to herself, they mean nothing from a partisan. We know McCabe hated Trump so notes to himself are not really valid.

It’s easy to explain. The rules and enforcement of laws are ALWAYS different for Democrats.

They can't be trusted from anyone, known liar or otherwise. They lack provenance and are considered hearsay.
Not that any of that will stop heir Mueller from using them against POTUS. There's no such thing as equal treatment anymore. And truth is a thing of the past. Now we're all awash in leftist accusations and hyperbole. As I said in another post, these scum are preparing for their 10/1917.
