McCabe Statement Puts Comey in Legal Trouble

BizPacReview

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.”

 

As Turley noted, Comey “already faces serious questions over his use of a Columbia University Law School professor to leak information to the media following his own termination as director.”

“If this was determined to be a leak with his approval, Comey likely would be labeled not just a leaker but a liar,” the law professor added.

  4. Funny how the elite who are so experienced at dividing the populace en masse, failed to realize that they also are subject to the same tactics of division between themselves.

    Can you imagine the feedback loop currently building within the elite cadre of characters?

    I can’t wait until it goes nuclear.

  5. @Bob; It would sure be interesting if any of these Dems actually hired McCabe in that it’s really unlikely he’d get a security clearance to do much more then empty ash trays and fetch lunch for the staff. Empty offers.

  6. It’s only an “issue” if Mr. Comey’s testimony was not the least dishonest story he could come up with, at the time. That’s Congressional precedent.
