"Well, I don't think there's a case. You know, the things that Kash Patel that you just played that he was talking about that you and I have spoken about for years, Maria, the Russiagate stuff. I'm as big a critic of that probably as there is. He added: I wrote a book about it. I think it was a disgrace and history will remember it that way."
"This indictment is not about that, and it seems to be premised on something that's not true, which is that McCabe said that Comey authorized him to leak to the Wall Street Journal. If you look closely at what McCabe said, what McCabe said was that he directed a leak to the Wall Street Journal and told Comey about it after the fact."
Andrew McCarthy says there is not a solid case against former FBI Director James Comey in the recent indictment. The indictment followed President Donald Trump's public pressure on Attorney General Pam Bondi to pursue political opponents. McCarthy states his longstanding criticism of Russiagate and calls that narrative a disgrace, but he says the indictment rests on a misreading of Andrew McCabe's testimony. McCabe directed a leak to the Wall Street Journal and informed Comey afterward, so Comey never pre-authorized the leak. McCarthy concludes that lack of pre-authorization undermines the prosecution's ability to make the case.
