The two top leaders of the countries Premier Law Enforcement Agency calling each other liars, telling to say the least
FBI Director James B. Comey and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe provided “starkly conflicting accounts” about a pivotal private meeting last year that helped lead to Mr. McCabe’s firing, an investigation has found.
Iinside the Justice Department (https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/department-of-justice/) last year, the two men, who had run the bureau as a team before both were fired nearly a year apart, were locked in a bitter dispute over who was telling the truth. They provided “starkly conflicting accounts” about a pivotal private meeting that helped lead to Mr. McCabe (https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/andrew-mccabe/)’s firing, an investigation has found.
Mr. McCabe (https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/andrew-mccabe/)’s attorney basically accused Mr. Comey (https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/james-b-comey/) of lying, or at least of lacking credibility, in testifying about a conversation the two had over a leak to The Wall Street Journal. The attorney said the Justice Department (https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/department-of-justice/) inspector general was anointing Mr. Comey (https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/james-b-comey/) as a “white knight carefully guarding FBI (https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/federal-bureau-of-investigation/) information while overlooking that Mr. McCabe (https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/andrew-mccabe/)’s account is more credible.”
Mr. McCabe (https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/andrew-mccabe/) accused Mr. Comey (https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/james-b-comey/) of denying the deputy’s version as a way to distance himself politically
from the Journal leak.
Mr. Comey (https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/james-b-comey/) strenuously disputed Mr. McCabe (https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/andrew-mccabe/)’s testimony that he, the director, thought the leak was a good idea, according to a Justice Department (https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/department-of-justice/) inspector general’s report released Friday.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz ultimately sided with Mr. Comey (https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/james-b-comey/) as the truth teller.
