Disgraced former FBI Deputy Director and current CNN contributor, Andrew McCabe now admits that he lied about leaking information to the media.
McCabe has now apologized for lying to agents, who spent weeks investigating the source of a leak to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) that actually came from him.
Shortly before the 2016 election, The WSJ reported that an FBI investigation was underway involving then-candidate Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation.
In May of 2017 McCabe denied that it was he who was the source of the leak.
But documents released by the FBI now show that he later fessed up, angering bureau investigators who had been spinning their wheels trying to identify the source of the leak. The documents showed McCabe admitted to misleading investigators during his August 2017 interview.
During that interview, McCabe was questioned about two media leaks on the same day that James Comey was fired. McCabe was reportedly asked if he knew how FBI information ended up in the 2016 WSJ article. He initially denied knowing about the leak, but he walked back his claim in a later interview.
Subsequently, the DOJ watchdog group, Citizens for Responsibility, who obtained and released the documents under a Freedom of Information Act request, found that McCabe had indeed directed FBI lawyer Lisa Page to share the information he had publicly denied.
“I’ve said from the very beginning I absolutely reject that report, because I never intentionally mislead anyone about anything,” said McCabe. “I will not stand up and claim that I’ve done something I didn’t do.”
But, according to the released FBI documents, McCabe was blamed for sidetracking the bureau’s work by one of the agents conducting the interview, to whom McCabe the apologized. The transcript of the interview in the released documents reads:
“I remember saying to him, at, I said, ‘Sir, you understand that we’ve put a lot of work into this based on what you told us,’” the agent said.
“I mean, and I even said, long nights and weekends working on this, trying to find out who amongst your ranks of trusted people would, would do something like that.’ And he kind of just looked down, kind of nodded, and said ‘Yeah I’m sorry.”
The transcript is among a release of the documents from the DOJ, that catalog the reasons for McCabe’s firing that were requested by the watchdog group.
Lying to the feds is a crime, but McCabe has not been charged, and he has since sued the FBI and DOJ over his firing.
Arrest that SOB and several others that lied about our President.
Once a liar always a liar.
EXECUTE McCabe.
PUT this HABITUAL LYING B D in PRISON along with CLAPPER , BRENNER , COMEY , STROZK , L. PAGE , BAKEER And WHEY !!
McCabe is and was a lying SOB and a conspirator in the attempt to bring down the Trump campaign. Prosecute him and all other conspirators for their traitorous actions to the fullest extent of Federal law. GET A ROPE!
He should be charged, tried and when found guilty go to prison.
McCabe is a disgraced and disgusting former FBI Deputy Director and current CNN contributor who should be behind bars for his actions.
He (McCabe) along with Comey, Peter Strzok, Lisa page, Hillary Clinton, and a few others should be sent to prison for framing a duly elected and sitting president to unseat and impeach him. This was surely a coup! The government should surely arrest them all. But’ it will be like trying to sue a lawyer…. who are you going to get to sue him? A lawyer? hahahaha
Put this prick in prison!
Why was he not charged????
Just another Traitor to Kill.
They (the FBI and Doj) are hiding in the shadows with their tails tucked like a bunch of beat dogs hoping they won’t get noticed. Part of the swamp rats! Need to be cleaned out and sent to Gitmo! Now hollywierd is trying to portray as righteous heroes with prime time drama shows. The media is to blame too!?
Timing is everything! There’s a bunch of indictments coming down this year. Look for them as the election nears. By no means will it be a political thing by the DOJ either. It’s the perfect storm the entire making by the Clinton Klan of mafia thugs and their anointed Clapper, Comey, McCabe & the “FBI lover duo” of lyin’ lawyer’s.
They are all going down. But there’s a big group of other lyin’ pontificate’s who must somehow be brought to justice. The lyin’ “fake news media.” The mist complicit, corrupt intertwined RICO “organized crime scheme” of all time. What they’ve done in their abuse and never ending scheme of abusing so called ” freedom of the press” has been a commingled consortium of involvement with the “deep state.”
Each person who’s spewed lies and falsities as well as the networks must be prosecuted, fined, jailed and broadcast licenses revoked.
What’s the probability that he was paid to lie (by Trump haters)?…h-h-h-m-m-m.
I agree with you Ron P – he, and the rest of those scumbags, should ALL be in prison!!!
I am SO SICK of the lies and deception for political reasons, wasting time and (our) money and IGNORING THE NEEDS OF THE COUNTRY in the effort to bring down a good man. First, they were in a HUGE rush because he is dangerous “to the security of our country”. Bulls**t!! Now they’re delaying – what happened to the urgency?? Do they not know how transparent they are and how we can see through them!!!??? Are you listening Pelosi, you jerk???
Russian collusion by Trump? What these top officials of the Obama administration did and attempted to do rivals the KGB!
The only reason it is exposed is because their bets on Queen Clinton being crowned didn’t happen even after all of their communistic efforts!
