FBI's McCabe 'has an Ohr problem,' will not testify on Tuesday

2017-12-12

Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, who was reportedly scheduled to testify behind closed doors in front of the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday, will instead meet next week due to a "scheduling error," Department of Justice officials told Fox News.

McCabe's testimony was likely to, at least in part, focus on Peter Strzok's role in the Hillary Clinton email investigation.

Strzok is a former deputy to the assistant director at the FBI who was removed from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's staff after Mueller learned Strzok had exchanged anti-Trump texts with a colleague.

House investigators previously told Fox News they have long regarded Strzok as a key figure in the chain of events when the bureau, in 2016, received the infamous anti-Trump "dossier," which launched a counterintelligence investigation into possible Russian meddling in the election.

"This was a routine scheduling error after the dates were switched on an internal email that we are happy to provide the committee,"
Oh really, Routine 'eh.

"This was a routine scheduling error after the dates were switched on an internal email that we are happy to provide the committee,"a Justice Department official told Fox News. "The FBI regrets the error, and we look forward to making both witnesses (the alleged FBI handler for Christopher Steele and McCabe) available prior to the Christmas recess."

#8 Deny, obfuscate, delay.

Sessions needs to clean house at the FBI, and put in a real IG with some teeth.

We've learned that the Bureau assimilation process for Wray was rather truncated, but effective nonetheless.

Everybody has to sing the same song, words and tune.

#1 I suspect Goudy and Jordan have somebody within the Bureau, or recently retired, who is putting the pieces together for them. Interestingly, the congressional investigations appear to be running parallel those of the Mueller team, but not a great deal is coming out of the Mueller investigation.

Then there is Jeff Sessions. Warm milk? Some crackers? What to do, what to do. Could someone build a fire under his arse, or send him to an extended care facility? We deserve much better.
