The Justice Department fired Mr. McCabe in the spring of 2018, citing Mr. Horowitz’s conclusions. Mr. McCabe is suing the Justice Department for wrongful termination, alleging President Trump ordered his firing.
When FBI investigators confronted Mr. McCabe about the leak, he denied authorizing the disclosure to the Journal. He also presented himself as a “victim,” according to the agent who conducted the interview.Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe admitted he misled investigators about his role in a media leak and apologized for it, according to transcripts of his interviews with investigators released Thursday.
The transcripts were released by the Justice Department’s inspector general in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
An unidentified FBI investigator detailed his frustration with Mr. McCabe over the time he spent investigating the leak, only to discover the leak came from the former deputy director himself, according to the transcripts. Mr. McCabe had repeatedly denied he was the source of the leak, but later confessed and apologized when the investigator confronted him, the transcripts said.
“I remember saying to him, ‘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 [Mr. McCabe] kind of just looked down, kind of nodded and said, ‘Yeah, I’m sorry.’”
Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz last year concluded Mr. McCabe “lacked candor” with investigators probing a leak to The Wall Street Journal that revealed the FBI was looking into Hilary Clinton’s emails and the Clinton Foundation.

Oh. So he said he was sorry.
Ain’t that nice?
They sure can be whiny cry-bullies when the light is turned on them!
It’s the lefties that are ticked off about this leak - he released info about investigations into the Clinton Foundation and McAullif’s contribution to the wife an FBI employee when she was running for the Virginia senate.
GITMO
“Mistakes were made”
“What difference does it make?”
“I did not have sexual relations with that woman.”
” revealed the FBI was looking into Hilary Clinton’s emails and the Clinton Foundation.”
And, apparently, they found no wrongdoing.
Indictment in 5....4....3....2.... Oh never mind. He said he’s sorry.
McCabe has suffered enough. CNN should give him a pat on the head along with a raise.
“The transcripts were released by the Justice Department’s inspector general in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.”
So, they sat on it. They weren’t going to expose the information, the admission if it weren’t for Citizens for Responsibility, and Ethics in Washington.
CAUTION: DEEP STATE AT WORK.
Hmm MCabe lying to the FBeye. Was apparently a Crime for Flynn but not for him. That rhymes!
McCabe is one nasty piece of work.

General Flynn is heading to jail for doing less.
What is the penalty for lying to the FBI? Apparently nothing, if you ARE the FBI when you lie.
Let’s see. He lied to investigator. Loses job. No prosecution. Flynn lies to investigator about some they already know and he gets the thumb screws.
Michael Flynn is facing prison for lying to investigators even though the investigators say he didn't lie. On the other hand McCabe walks around a free man. One worked for Trump, the other worked against him. See how this works?
“some people did some things”...
Gosh - he apologized for being a corrupt partisan hack - now it makes the firing seem a bit overboard ................................................................................/s
