Wouldn't you be able to make a strong argument that he have had to authorize it by the nature of his title, especially if McCabe were passing along classified intel?

(Unless of course McCabe went rogue) If you're looking towards a perjury charge, it fails. Look at what McCabe said. He was authorized to share information with reporters by Comey and Wray, sure. However, Grassley's question to Comey was about authorizing the release of information specific to the Trump and Clinton investigations. Unless there is evidence that Comey specifically told McCabe (or anyone else) that he could give information about the Trump or Clinton investigations to reporters, it cannot be proven that Comey lied in response to that particular set of questions. A general authorization to share information with reporters is not what Grassley asked. Comey is a slimy worm, but he's not stupid. His answers, while disingenuous, were not lies in the context of the specific questions being asked. Grassley never asked Comey if he was aware of anyone giving the information to reporters, and who that person was. I'm sure Comey knew what Grassley was really after, but he was not obligated to give that information under oath unless he was asked the right question, which Grassley did not do.

Deranged Rhino Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 The TDS is strong. As if memos from a man who was fired for LYING and who has demonstrated partisan contempt of Trump will be viewed as credible by any grand jury or prosecutor.

Sounds like there could have been some sort of conspiracy going on. Hmmm. Could it have been an attempt by members of the DOJ and FBI to bring down a sitting POTUS?

For all the times these same people have dismissed the notion of the "deep state" - they sure do keep reinforcing its existence and reality with their reactions to McCabe being fired.
