Oh, what a tangled web the unindicted co-conspirators in the Deep State coup to keep Hillary Clinton out of prison and Donald Trump out of the White House have woven. When you tell the truth, the adage goes, you never have to remember anything. But when you lie, you have to remember the lies you told to cover the earlier lies, and you certainly have to keep your story in line with your other co-conspirators.
That Andrew McCabe, in his response to his firing, failed miserably on this score, implicating former FBI Director James Comey, is the conclusion of George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley:
In an op-ed run Saturday by The Hill, Turley pointed to a line in McCabe's statement criticizing his termination "that could be viewed as incriminating fired FBI director James Comey, not just in leaking sensitive information but also in lying to Congress."
McCabe commented on leaking information to a former Wall Street Journal reporter about the investigation of Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation, saying he was authorized to "share" the information and did so with the knowledge of "the director," which would have been Comey at the time.
Turley explained why this is "problematic":
If the "interaction" means leaking the information, then McCabe's statement would seem to directly contradict statements Comey made in a May 2017 congressional hearing. Asked if he had "ever been an anonymous source in news reports about matters relating to the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation" or whether he had "ever authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports about the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation," Comey replied "never" and "no."

The same could be said for all Democrat election “victory”. No matter where it takes place. If you cheat and win, no one catches you cheating.
Oh, oh, if Hillary had only won as promised...where would we be today on all of this?
Trump would be in prison and his properties would have been confiscated for daring to run against the CHOSEN ONE.

And Obama, directed by his masters and handlers, would be running the White House from behind the scenes while Hitlery was amassing more wealth. She’d be well on her way to becoming one of the wealthiest women on earth.
McCabe is Boiled Frog Number One with many more to be pulled out of the pot dead.
Bttt.

All of the stuff we know, and continuing to come out daily, makes you wonder what Obama did under the radar in 2008 and 2012. Rush just saying Google's Eric Schmidt basically had what amounts to a second office in the WH he visited Obama so often. How did Obama use the FBI, CIA, NSA, Google, Facebook to get reelected in 2012? Hope Sarah Carter and others investigate this later after all the indictments from the current mess are done.
Excellent.

Isn’t possible to reconcile McCabe’s statement and Comey’s testimony?
McCabe stated that he was one of the few people who could authorized a leak. And he said Comey was aware of it. But he did not say that he sought or obtained authorization from Comey.
Comey told Congress that he did not authorize a leak. But he was not asked — “Do you know of anyone at the FBI that authorized a leak.”
Some are going to experience Arkancide.
And that goes for the rest of this pack of traitors, including Mueller.
Now lets target McCain and the wall will collapse and America will see the truth.
This tautology doesn’t work in the main. First, it would require Comey to publicly refute McCabe’s claim about leaking with the “knowledge of the Director.” moreover, it misses the larger point behind McCabe’s firing, which few seem to have zeroed in on.
McCabe got the axe for lying “under oath - multiple times” according to the DOJ dismissal. Far more serious.
McCabe harps on the WSJ leak, hoping that’s enough to make everyone forget about his serial duplicity
