McCabe has emails proving Republicans lied about him misleading Comey: report

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/03/mccabe-emails-proving-republicans-lied-misleading-comey-report/

Two Republican congressmen appear to have been caught in a lie about former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.
Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Mark Meadows (R-NC) told Fox News on Thursday night that the FBI’s disciplinary office found that McCabe lied to then-Director James Comey about leaking information to the press.

Jordan claimed that the FBI’s disciplinary office found that former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe lied to then-Director James Comey.

But Michael Bromwich, McCabe’s attorney, told The Washington Post that claims that email evidence “clearly show that Mr. McCabe advised Director Comey that he was working with colleagues at the FBI to correct inaccuracies before the stories were published, and that they remained in contact through the weekend while the interactions with the reporter continued.”

Bromwich also slammed Republicans for “attempting to create a false narrative” about McCabe’s ouster.

I hate it when Jim Jordan especially is on MSNBC. He lies as much as Trump, and his smirking demeanor irritates me no end. I can’t understand why anyone would vote for this neanderthal.

but for 24.5 years a radio actor named Jim Jordan went by the character name Fibber McGee.

Maybe he's just following his birthright.

That man just sets up my back by being there.
It really sucks that they can’t have rational republicans in on any discussion.
I know that might sound like an oxymoron but there must still be a few.

Who does not own a jacket! Pretending to be blue collar.

Anyone hear Trump say he did not know what a Community College was. They should call them Vocational Schools. They are much more than that.

One theory I have is that they are also involved in taking dirty money. Any good crook knows how to keep people silent is to get them involved in the dirty dealings. Money always talks. I also think the Russians are very clever and know how to manipulate people. I think this has been going on for a while. Just a theory but what else could it possibly be?

FOUR DECADES, is create false narratives.

In the end, I think, we will have justice, but it's been a long, hard road, and many have died, been maimed or been ruined financially on the way to that 'promised land.'

Fucking Republicans.

Why did the FBI internal investigator and DOJ not get these emails? And if he did hand them over, why did they still come to the conclusion they did?
I don't even understand how a guy who has the authority to make press releases gets in trouble for making press releases.

I don't get it...somebody please explain what I'm missing.

Are they helping Mark Meadows?

They'll run anything Repugs hand them without checking or corroboration. Then when it's shown to be false, the sources are hoisted on their own petard.
