McCabe's brain goes blank on Trump dossier

Congressional investigators spoke exclusively to Fox News about Tuesday's seven-hour interrogation of Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe. Evidently, there were a load of conflicts within his testimony compared to that of other witnesses. 

This prompted the Republican majority staff of the House Intelligence Committee to issue new subpoenas next week on DOJ and FBI personnel.

Although the committee will not confirm who will be the recipients of the subpoenas, in all probability it will be  DOJ's sneaky slime Bruce Ohr and FBI General Counsel James A. Baker, who accompanied McCabe to Tuesday's session.

The DOJ subpoena could create a constitutional clash between the two branches that goes beyond the "stonewalling" over documents and witnesses that have been brought before the committee. Devin Nunes (R.-Calif.) the HPSCI Chairman threatened contempt-of-Congress citations against Deputy Attorney General Rod "The Zero" Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray.

Regarding McCabe's questioning, one investigator said that "It's hard to know who's telling us the truth."

Sources close to the investigation say that McCabe was a "friendly witness" to the Democrats in the room, who apparently pressed the deputy director, to help them build a case (unsuccessfully) against President Trump for obstruction of justice in the Russia-collusion probe.

Investigators say McCabe told the panel that the FBI worked hard to verify the contents of the anti-Trump "dossier" and stood by its credibility. But when pressed about what it was in the document that corroborated this, the sources said McCabe cited only that Trump campaign adviser Carter Page went to Moscow. But beyond that, McCabe couldn't even claim the FBI had verified the dossier's allegations about the specific meetings Page allegedly held in Moscow.

McCabe's convenient memory went blank when asked when he learned that the Hillary Clinton campaign funded the dossier along with the Democratic National Committee. He even forgot that he signed documents about them that established his knowledge of the dossier's financing and its origin.

Then there's Bruce Ohr, whose wife worked for Fusion GPS while the dossier was being formed. He has been given a subpoena as he is ready to appear before the Senate Intelligence Committee which is conducting its own probe into Russian interference in last year's election.

Ohr has been demoted after holding two titles at the DOJ: associate deputy attorney general and director of Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF)--[not to be confused with LBGTQQIP2SAA which is shorthand for : lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, pansexual, 2-spirited, asexual and allies].

Ohr will retain his OCDETF title but was stripped of his higher post and thrown out of his fourth floor "Main Justice" office, but not via the window. Any further demotion would relegate him to urinal cake installer.

People need to be put away for this.
