Via Daily Caller:
The Justice Department’s office of the inspector general released a long-awaited report on Friday accusing former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe of “lack of candor” about his authorization of leaks to the media.
The report, first published by The New York Times, asserts that McCabe misled the DOJ watchdog and former FBI Director James Comey about the leak authorizations. He also misled the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility about the leaks.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe on March 16, less than two days before he was set to retire. The FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility recommended that McCabe be fired for “lack of candor” during interviews about the leak authorizations.
McCabe authorized an FBI official to speak with The Wall Street Journal about an article regarding the Clinton investigation. Page sought to put a positive spin on McCabe and the FBI’s handling of the investigation. But she also disclosed that the Clinton Foundation, the Clinton family charity, was under investigation.
