    And notably none of those statements contradict each other like they’re trying to claim.

    They’re trying to say Comey lied about authorizing the leak, but McCabe already admitted that he did that. Comey knew about the leak after the fact and they both testified as such.

    Any real prosecutor wouldn’t bother spending a second on this. But this has no basis in reality its weaponizing the DOJ for political reasons, which Trump already admitted he was going to do, publicly telling the DOJ to do so.

      Yep. McCabe and Comey corroborate each other, and there’s nothing else on the public record to contradict.

        It’s why the first DA for Northern Virginia got fired. They wouldn’t indict Comey on this bullshit.

          And the new US attorney has a background in insurance law, this is her first felony prosecution ever, and she presented the case to the grand jury herself.

          She might just be way out of her depth here and in for a rude awakening. Comey is bringing some pretty high powered legal representation.
