Giving credence to the reason why Inspector General Horowitz and Federal Prosecutor Huber don’t want to release unredacted investigative information to a leaky congress, a report surfaces via anonymous sources to CNN.
The leaked information comes after the DOJ released the substance behind the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) recommendation to fire former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. Previously, Inspector General Michael Horowitz referred McCabe’s false statements to the OPR; the OPR reviewed, investigated and then recommended McCabe’s termination to Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Sessions fired him.
Congress was recently provided information from within the IG referral and OPR report. Those details are now leaked, with an accompanying narrative, to CNN.
I’m skipping most of the narrative outline because, well, it’s an editorial narrative. However, at the bottom of the CNN narrative there’s an important series of dates which highlight the larger issue with McCabe. What happened becomes obvious.
Here’s the key paragraph(s) [I’m inserting some info to make the picture more clear for those who are not following closely]:
Rep. Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican, told Fox News [LINK] that the OPR report shows McCabe had lied four times: to internal federal investigators, Comey and twice to the inspector general.
The OPR report states that McCabe was interviewed last May [2017] by the FBI’s investigative division about the Journal story where he denied approving of FBI officials speaking to the Wall Street Journal [LINK], according to the source briefed on the report.
A couple months later, McCabe denied the matter again to the inspector general. But he followed up with the inspector general in August 2017 to declare he may have allowed FBI officials to speak with the newspaper, the source said.
In his statement following his firing, McCabe said that “when I thought my answers were misunderstood, I contacted investigators to correct them.”
McCabe was then subsequently re-interviewed in August [2017] by the FBI’s investigative division, and again on November 29, 2017, by the Justice Department’s inspector general. (link)
OK, well, if you’ve followed along closely you can see exactly how busted McCabe is and why he is so busted.
McCabe was was interviewed about the leaks in May 2017. He denied. Notice what comes next… “a couple of months later” he was interviewed by IG Horowitz. And he again denied. Now think! That conversation would be around July of 2017. What happened right after/amid this period? Answer: Horowitz gained the Peter Strzok and Lisa Page text messages.
•May 2017 McCabe denies leaking for WSJ story (to FBI).
•July(ish) 2017 McCabe denies again (to Horowitz).
•August 2017 Horowitz gets Strzok/Page text messages. Proving McCabe constructed the WSJ story.
•August 2017: After Horowitz gets the proof McCabe was lying – McCabe follows up on the two denials saying “he may have allowed FBI officials to speak with the newspaper”.
•August 2017: FBI re-interviews McCabe based on new admissions.
•November 29th 2017: One day before SC Mueller indicts Michael Flynn, IG Horowitz interviews McCabe again. Apparently this time McCabe admitted to constructing the leak.
Gee, is it any wonder why the ‘good guys’ inside the FBI system were pissed off?
♦Think about it…. McCabe admits to lying to the FBI on November 29th. On November 30th, Flynn is forced to sign a sketchy guilty plea for *presumably* lying to the FBI. On December 1st the media pushes the Flynn lying guilty plea. On December 2nd *some entity* within the process hits back against the corrupt insiders (around McCabe) and begins blasting out information about Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr and Nellie Ohr… That’s where most people began to take notice.
Additionally, think about the time-frame knowing IG Horowitz informed SC Mueller about Strzok and Page and the potential criminal conduct outlined within their text messages.
In between the time McCabe lied to the FBI (May ’17), and then lied to Horowitz (July ’17), and then attempted to clean up his lie (Aug ’17), and then McCabe’s November 29th re-interview with Horowitz…. Prosecutor John Huber was brought on board.
You can read the full CNN article HERE with spin about McCabe’s false statements.
However, the context above is the most important part because it expands the story to highlight the motive for everything that was/is happening, and WHY.
For those of use who were following this, this is not news. What was described here had to have happened for the events to unfold. Based upon this information, there is going to be a lot more revealed. The swamp creatures have little time to evolve.
You want to know the funny part? McCabe is about to be confirmed as an anti-American, seditious villain. Of course, based on what McCabe was involved in, most of the left will still regard him as a hero. But some people who have donated a LOT of money to McCabe’s whiny-baby Go Fund Me account, based on the leftist lies they consume are in for a big, BIG surprise.
Well, dumbasses…. you can’t say we didn’t warn you.
The media isn’t pounding on the “FBI Lovebirds’ ” door.
And the leaks are not coming from the FBI lovebirds directly.
Instead leaks come from Dems who read those lovebirds’ emails and texts.
All of this adds to the weight of thinking that the “lovebirds” are cooperating with the investigation in exchange for lighter/no punishment.
McCabe puts heat on Comey as well
Well lefties, you wanted proof! Check out CNN or go to HUFFPO.
