The IG and the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility didn’t buy that excuse, why should we. Nice try spinning.

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe acknowledged in a March 23 op-ed he gave “not fully accurate” information to Justice Department investigators. But the recently fired FBI official defended himself, saying he was “confused and distracted” amid the political “chaos” surrounding him.
“I have been accused of ‘lack of candor.’ That is not true,” McCabe wrote in The Washington Post.
“I did not knowingly mislead or lie to investigators.”
Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe March 16 — just two days before he was set to retire from the bureau. Sessions made the decision based on the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility’s recommendation McCabe be fired for “lack of candor” during interviews with the Justice Department’s office of the inspector general (OIG).
