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.

How A Plea Reversal From Michael Flynn Could Uncover More Federal Corruption
Did Robert Mueller’s office withhold other evidence in Michael Flynn’s prosecution, either from the FISA court or from Flynn’s attorneys? There is reason to believe so.

He's a highly placed official in the Dept of Justice.

If he can't be held to a standard of truthfulness, why should anyone?

That’s a lie too.

Even if this was the case, it’s an irrelevant point.

Anyway, I want to know where this scumbag got his millions on a FBI salary?

Thanks E. Pluribus Unum. 1st he ****s Flynn, then he ****s Trump, and third, he spends the rest of his life in Leavenworth, getting ****ed. Just out of a sense of mercy, I think he should hang instead of being subjected to life in prison.

He says he accepts full responsibility, but he doesn’t. Not really. He accepts responsibility for being confused and distracted.

IOW, he accepts full responsibility for his excuses. That’s silly.

Was he distracted because his kids go to the same school as the congress critters?Was he confused because his wife is on political boards that steal money from the people?

A man who has spent his career conducting interviews, sitting in on interviews, or observing interviews, was confused while he was being interviewed, despite the fact that he had his legal representative(s) sitting next to him?

Sorry Andy...I might have been born at night, but it wasn't last night.

I doubt it too, since his wife is a doctor. Hope he loses his freedom.

The “unhinged” people are McCabe and all his deep state allies, plus the Mediascum.

One of the worst phrases in our public life is “I accept full responsibility” — usually accompanied by every effort to evade actual responsibility and accountability. It has become just another b.s. throw-away phrase to make it seem like someone is worthy of respect. In cases like McCabe, Comey, et al. they do not believe that “full responsibility” should actually include any accountability, punishment, etc.

“Andy didn’t seem confused at all when he declared he was going to F Flynn then F Trump.”

See, you misunderstand, McCabe was just trying to be accepted and was actually making that announcement as he was coming out of the closet.

He’s really quite attracted to both the general and the president and wanted to hook up with them...

I have understand. I thought it was remarkable that he actually spoke out loud that he accepted full responsibility for the excuses he had just named.

yes, true, his excuses would merely be funny if the matters were not so serious.
