Under pressure from the white house, Mccabe fired hours from retirement.

Always a head-scratcher when Comey pipes up about a bunch of notes that he allegedly took contemporaneously when talking to trump and emphasized that it has been his practice to do that as a professional FBI investigator so people can be assured that he was diligently recording things.

Now, McCabe pipes up in the last couple days doing that same routine- about how he is a professional investigator and always makes it his habit to make notes during or after any important meeting.

BUT, then when BOTH of them were asked for their notes after meeting with Hillary as part of their various interactions and investigation with/of her, they both testified that they did not have any and never took any and he testified that he was in the room for Hillary's interview but not all of it.

Similarly, after Comey testified that he met with Loretta about closing out the Hillary case and that he was uneasy with her comments the Committee asked if he had notes from during or after that meeting and he said, no, he did no take any.

Anyone think that doesn't pass the smell test?

It seems legit to me considering the path Trump is on and his propensity toward corruption.

Yup. Seems to legit to you. Comey has notes on meeting with Trump. Does not have notes on Hillary interview even though she was the target of their investigation. Has notes on Trump, does not have notes on meeting with Loretta about ending the investigation because as he testified, it has always been his practice to keep notes after/during important meetings.

FBI was able to find notes that helped them. Was not able to find emails that they did not want anyone else to see. Except that the IG had them.

McCabe is going to have a problem with notes for sure. Especially when that little matter of him requesting agents to alter their notes is reviewed by the special investigator who is yet to come.

I didn’t read anything about McCabe white washing anything. What you’re referring to is editing a conclusion of an investigation where they were not pursuing charges against Clinton. That’s not a white wash.

A special investigator can sort all this out. Too many crimes to keep track of.

There is the issue of Strzok altering and editing Comey's draft of the conclusion, and then the issue of McCabe asking agents to alter their investigate reports. the 702's, 302's whatever.

Sorry... the two paragraphs I provided are meant to be unrelated. The first one does not involve McCabe and deals with the following.

Well there is no basis for any of what you’re saying. You’re conflating McCabe having problems with OPR related to leaking negative info about Clinton to some conspiracy you believe he was involved with against Trump. The two do not relate.

Also, I am very suspicious of this move from OPR, if it even came from them, to move on McCabe without the context of a report. The allegation does not seem serious enough to justify breaking it off from the larger probe.

This is something else and we don’t have any real insight into this. The McCabe situation is something different into itself and represents what may be a larger attack on the fbi itself.

No, I am not conflating anything. You simply are not up to speed so cannot follow it.

McCabe needs to lawyer up- more I should say.

Sooo.....the Inspector General is doing an attack on the FBI now?

Nice.

Maybe, maybe not. I’m interested in how such a low level finding against McCabe was separated out and prioritized over the completed report. That’s very suspect.
