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.

” who wasn’t authorized to discuss the notes publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.”

There’s a source just reeking of credibility.

Standard Dem BS-----remember when Clinton lied under oath?
When he said he wasnt drafted then later said he "forgot to mention" he was drafted.
First said he never had sex with Gennifer Flowers; later said he did.
Said he never had sex with that woman...Miss Lewinsky.

ITEM Joshua L. Steiner, the Treasury said he Lied to his diary?
Treasury Official Is Disavowing Whitewater Details in His Diary
https://www.nytimes.com/.../treasury-official-is-disavowing-whitewater-details-in-his-dia...
Jul 26, 1994 - A senior Treasury official whose diary casts a bad light on the Administration's handling of the Whitewater affair will testify in Congress that his writings do not accurately reflect what occurred, Administration officials and Congressional investigators said today.

ITEM---Remember when Gruber lied about Obamacare
https://sasoc.wordpress.com/tag/lied-to-his-diary/
“When Liberals Tell The Truth but run afoul of their corrupt bosses. Jonathan Gruber, architect of Obamacare. First he told the truth, in this case about Obamacare subsidies...

ITEM----AND THIS? Monica Lewinsky was taped--- detailing her sexual relationship with Clinon
and begged Linda Tripp to join her in lying about the relationship.

ITEM---Clinton's appointee Bruce Babbitt said $250,000 contributed to the DNC by Indian tribes opposed to granting a casino license to rival tribes had nothing to do with the money; said that he had not been instructed in this matter by Clinton's then-White House deputy chief of staff Harold Ickes, that he had told lobbyist and friend Paul Eckstein that Ickes had told him to move on the casino decision, but that he had been lying to Eckstein.

“The coup is still going on.”

Yes it is. As with the comey firing, the left will never let a good crisis go to waste. McCabe knew his head was on the chopping block so he fabricated ‘memos’ to be used by mueller against Trump.

“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.”

That’s a fact.

“The FBI better not blow this one like they did Florida.”

The FBI are in full support of these high treason co-conspirators.

I wonder if the notes will be edited and changed in order to further their agenda against POTUS?

And seriously, McCabe looks like a psycho who would do anything if the entire truth came out.

"Because of this news, President Trump now must refuse to be interrogated by Mueller or his attack dogs.

They will assume the McCabe memo notes are 100% accurate and anything Trump says that differs from them is proof he is lying to an FBI agent."

An excellent, excellent point.

One that hopefully "our" side of the news makes loud and clear so hopefully Trump and those around him understand this (if they don't already).

Those memos belong to the FBI/DOJ. If birthday boy didn’t turn them over to Sessions and kept them then he broke the law. If Mueller want’s them he has to subpoena them from the DOJ. If McCabe gave them to Mueller then they were gotten illegally.

With the IG report, the review recommendation, and McCabe’s dismissal, any reliance Mueller’s investigation has on McCabe’s testimony or body of work is shot.

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

Have we not seen this play before. Every time a democrat gets fired they pull out their memo’s.
