This makes a lot of sense. The report was from the NY Times reporter to whom James Comey leaked. McCabe was the right hand of Comey. And only McCabe or Mueller had access to the memos in question.
The panel on “The Five” on Friday discussed the New York Times report that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein made reference to recording President Trump and possibly working to invoke the 25th Amendment against him.
Dana Perino said new reporting from a senior Justice Department official said that in the 2017 meeting where the comments were allegedly made, Rosenstein was speaking extemporaneously after being challenged by then-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe.
In response to McCabe’s reported criticism that Rosenstein was preventing an aggressive investigation of Trump, Rosenstein shouted a frustrated and incredulous response that referenced wearing a wire, the official told Fox News.
“McCabe wants to bring Rosenstein down,” Perino said.
