McCabe: I was ‘confused’ in interview with investigators (McCabe was "confused" but Flynn "lied")
New York Post ^ | March 24, 2018 | 10:11pm | Eileen AJ Connelly

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.

“Did McCabe just confess?”

Seems he plainly admitted not speaking the truth. So, yes. And he deserves at least the damages inflicted upon Flynn.

McCabe says, I did not INTEND to lie.

I heard he had all of his speeches and testimony stored on his email server so that his answers would be accurate and truthful, but since the Russians hacked his computer, they must've changed his speeches and testimony producing said lies.

Remember Sandy Berger, stuffing classified, original documents from the National Archives in his socks, documents regarding the Clinton administration and terrorism, before the 9/11 Commission could get to them?

An assistant DA, one James Comey, issued a bunch of tough talk regarding classified info, keeping secrets and telling the truth. Berger got a slap on the wrist.

Flynn got crucified. Sadly, if McCabe gets a slap on the wrist, it’ll be swamp business as usual, and as far as I’m concerned that’s the real test of President’s Trump’s seriousness, not some porked up spending bill with lots of wiggle room since it’s not a budget.

Throw the book at ‘em or MAGA is done.

McCabe will never be convicted on anything. Nothing a communists left can do that will ever be prosecuted.

lacked candor....this was not determined by Sessions...this is from the report.

Lacked candor defined.....not truthful or forthcoming....

In other words, he was playing games during his testimony

How many months has McCabe 9and his core team) been plotting against candidate then president Trump? And how long did he give gen Flynn to prepare for his statement?

He’s absurdly upset. Heard a Congressman say today in a video....”a few of us offered him (McCabe) a job until he got over the hump”.

You need some time in prison to get your mind right, Andy.

McCabe was “confused” but Flynn “lied”

Sessions: Sounds legit.

WOW... he whines about lying, and then calls the President unhinged? Liberals are certifiable mental cases. Funny, my local news is all about the pole dancing hooker ... and nary a word about just how corrupt the FBI became under liberal lawlessness...

When Democrats “Are confused” they get a pass, but when a Republican says the same they are automatically lying.


Exactly. So much for “equal justice under the law.” Sadly, Sleep Sessions and the GOP are not hammering this point home daily.

I thought that Mueller and Sessions were going to get the Podestas any day now.

Where did the story about McCabe cheering

anonymous sources inside the FBI talking to Sara Carter reporting on Circa. Not sure about the 302 allegation.

I’m certain this is enough for Sessions to forgive and forget.
Everybody makes mistakes, including General Flynn.
Oops. General Flynn was charged and pleaded guilty to
lying under oath.

Thanks - I remember hearing Sara Carter talk about this (and others), but I could not remember to what this was attributed.

The case against Flynn is quite curious given that testimony under oath said the agents did not think he lied and then in a complete turnaround Mueller charged him anyways...... smells like bovine excrement to me.
