Suspect that Wray found something in memo [View all]

That was actionable against McCabe.

Could be nefarious on a Wray’s part, or McCabe’s part or simply misleading enough to cause the FBI headaches.

(On edit Since some people can’t suss out these several options here they are in detail)


I’ll clarify the options for your benefit

1) It’s possible Wray is a bad actor.
2) It’s possible McCabe is a bad actor. If so it’s probably a paper handling level error but one the Rs can demogogue. Have to acknowledge the possibility
3) It’s also possible that entirely disingenuous allegations are more trouble than its worth for the FBI.
