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.

I wonder if they kept memo’s from their meetings with the previous President? If not, these are highly suspect in my mind. The President is the President. Period. These meeting memorandums seem very strange unless it was a list of things to do - all this personal “I felt uncomfortable crap” is absurd.

He has nothing. If he had, he would have given them to Mueller a year ago.

All McCabe’s actions have done is confirm that he is a black hat and that he is a part of the Comey Cabal.

"How can notes be trusted from a known liar?"

Bingo. "Memo to Self" can say anything at all and may bear no resemblance to what actually happened.

I wrote in my memos that I saw a Russian giving Comey ten packs of $100 bills, but I lost the memos in a boat accident. Ha, ha, just a joke that went bad. ;- )

Okay, I've heard of contemporaneous notes of your understanding of a meeting with a client or a co-worker, but to think you could use them as evidence of a crime in an investigation or for an indictment, give me a break.

Comey and McCabe both could lie to through their teeth to twist the story to make Trump look like he broke the law. What proof is a note or memo to yourself?

This is the media piling on Trump about anything they can use to discredit him.

All Mueller needs is enough to recommend impeachment and then it's put to the House.

Long, long shot.

I hope Trump recorded everything and proves him to be a liar.

And why is he just now saying he has memos? Was he trying to blackmail Trump?

Exactly.
It’s called making UP lies, after the fact.
His made up notes are classified.

I hope he is caught leaking them.
He is already a known leaker and liar.

Jail the corrupt SOB.

If Sessions had an IQ above 70 and the backbone as firm as that of a jellyfish, he would subpoena them.

Ha, Andy's argument is that Trump fired Comey? Yet Rosenstein recommended Trump fire Comey. They are so cornered. They continue to expose their corruption.

I’m on board with that.

Fire all of them while their heads are spinning over McCabe.

I wonder if McCabe's notes include him reassuring Reince Preibus that Trump was not under investigation. And then refusing to say so publicly, making Preibus look like the conspirator.

All on the Mueller team are slimes, accring favor and greasing their own careers for the incoming Hillary admin. Oops.

After the corruption of Comey became known, and the conflict of interest of McCabe became known, surely POTUS was smart enough to protect himself with communications with swamp rats like McCabe...

They were made for a defense. The FBI and Democrat Party are in cahoots and Americans had better beware.

McCabe giving info to Mueller proves that these people wanted to and are still willing to take Trump out. Comey,McCabe,Brennan and Clapper are advocating treason. They failed to take the king out on the first try and now they are doubling down. These people are a serious threat right now to Trump. The FBI better not blow this one like they did Florida.

I haven't heard it asked, ever, why a candidate for state senate (Comey's wife, VA) needs a budget of 750,000 !!! compliments of Hillary's bag man McCauliffe. Absurd.

Funny how that obstruction of justice case has been shelved by Herr Mueller. In other words the McCabe memos, like the Comey memos, are a big, fat nothingburger.
