Ex-FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe admitted Saturday he was “confused and distracted” when he talked to investigators about alleged misconduct during a 2016 investigation of the Trump campaign.
McCabe “lacked candor” in that interview, Attorney General Jeff Sessions determined, and fired him March 16, two days before he would have been eligible for a pension.
“Some of my answers were not fully accurate,” McCabe admitted in a Washington Post op-ed, but insisted, “I did not knowingly mislead or lie to investigators.

You are doing a Great Job keeping time.
I looked, but couldn’t find another online clock for Sessions time in office.....
Well he must have been confused several times, because they cited him for several instances, not just one. Besides that he can’t ask for clarification if he doesn’t understand a question? Come on man, you are adding more lies you corrupt SOB.
From the article:
"...Despite his underlings’ concerns, McCabe’s plan of retaliation against Flynn proceeded apace. According to Joseph diGenova, the newest member of President Trump’s legal team, McCabe set up Flynn for the interview that led to the general’s indictment for lying to the FBI.
DiGenova is the former United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, former Independent Counsel to the United States, and former Counsel to the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (the Church Committee which years ago dismembered the U.S. intelligence community). In other words, he is part of the D.C. establishment and presumably has connections and reliable sources in and around the FBI and Department of Justice.
In an article in the February 2018 edition of Hillsdale College’s Imprimis magazine, diGenova lays out a sordid summary of the Comey FBI’s fake investigation of Hillary Clinton’s unsecure private email server and the efforts by the FBI and DOJ to “frame Trump.” Entitled “The Politicization of the FBI,” diGenova’s article is well worth reading.
As for McCabe’s retaliation against Flynn, diGenova offers the following:
Significantly, [FBI Special Agent Peter] Strzok also led the interview of General Michael Flynn that ended in Flynn pleading guilty to making false statements to the FBI. It is important to recall that Flynn’s FBI interview was not conducted under the authority of the special counsel, but under that of Comey and McCabe. It took place during Inauguration week in January 2017. Flynn had met with the same agents the day before regarding security clearances. McCabe called Flynn and asked if agents could come to the White House. Flynn agreed, assuming it was about personnel. It was not.
Flynn had been overheard on a FISA wiretap talking to Russia’s Ambassador to the United States, Sergey Kislyak. There was nothing criminal or even unusual about the fact of such discussion. Flynn was on the Trump transition team and was a federal employee as the President-Elect’s national security advisor. It was his job to be talking to foreign leaders. Flynn was not charged with regard to anything said during his conversation with Kislyak. So why was the FBI interrogating Flynn about legal conduct? What more did the FBI need to know? I am told by sources that when Flynn’s indictment was announced, McCabe was on a video conference call — cheering!"
Amazing. So, there was a discrepancy about the date that this call took place, and that is what McCabe nailed him on, destroyed his finances and reputation, and he CHEERED ABOUT DOING IT!
McCabe should be taken down hard by the judicial system, no mercy. NO MERCY. He should pay for his backstabbing arrogance.
Big, tough G-man was confused. Special Agent Snowflake.
See my reply at #43.
What a total scumbag.
McCabe looks like he is wound up so tight that he is going to pop. He doesn’t like being charged like he has done to so many.
Did Andy hit his head and get a concussion?
There you have it.
To paraphrase McCabe, First we screw McCabe, Then we screw Comey.
Keep talking McCabe.
Not only did he just confess, but what about not correcting the record. When did McCabe come forward to admit his inaccuracies? Answer, not until after he was fired. Sorry Andy, but the gray bar motel will suit you.
McCabe was confused. Flynn lied. Of course. The rules are always different for Democrats.
I was confused too..... used to trust the FBI.
THANKS TO McCabe....the FBI is just another bunch of armed bullies.
Democrats always make “honest mistakes.”
I wonder what a dishonest mistake would be?
This is very similar to what they did to Scooter Libby..... a travesty all the way around.
It was always so much easier for him when he could just rewrite the statements from an interview.
Deputy Director of the FBI was confused??? How’d he make it that far?
Hmmmmm McCabe is munching on Tide Pods?
I wonder how many times he had heard that when he was on the other end. I would bet he never showed mercy.
