McCabe has emails proving Republicans lied about him 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, toldThe Washington Post that claims of 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.

“We deeply regret being compelled to respond to this selective leaking with any comment at all,” Bromwich added.

“Nevertheless, one thing is clear: Mr. McCabe never misled Director Comey. Director Comey’s memory of these interactions was equivocal and speculative, while Mr. McCabe’s recollection is clear, unequivocal and supported by documentary evidence,” Bromwich concluded.
