"Yeah. And look, what seems like the facts are pretty amazing as well. It seems this is a case about whether James Comey authorized a leak by his deputy, Andrew McCabe, about Hillary Clinton and about an investigation of the Clinton Foundation, not a leak about Donald Trump. The inspector general of the Department of Justice investigated this, determined that it was James Comey, who was likely telling the truth about what happened, and not Andrew McCabe."
"Comey said, I didn't authorize the leak.. McCabe said he authorized the leak after the fact. McCabe actually was close to getting indicted for this by the first Trump administration because the Department of Justice Inspector General had determined that McCabe likely lied. So McCabe almost gets indicted in 2019 over this. They don't, they're not able to get an indictment. And now Comey is going to get indicted for the same conversation, which the inspector general believed Comey and not McCabe."
James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James face indictment alleging Comey authorized a leak by Andrew McCabe concerning Hillary Clinton and an investigation of the Clinton Foundation. The indictment followed public pressure from President Donald Trump urging prosecutions of political opponents. The Department of Justice Inspector General previously investigated the episode and found Comey's account more likely than McCabe's. Andrew McCabe was nearly indicted in 2019 after the inspector general concluded he likely lied, but no indictment was secured then. Comey has pledged to fight the current indictment in court.
