"Comey Has No Issue With It": Judicial Watch Dumps Explosive New FBI Emails From McCabe's Conflict Review

Source: ZeroHedge

"  Judicial Watch  has just dumped a new treasure trove of FBI emails regarding Deputy Director Andrew McCabe's conflict check relative to the Clinton email investigation (for those who missed it, we reviewed all of McCabe's many scandals here: "FBI Director McCabe Subject Of Three Separate Federal Inquiries Into Alleged Misconduct: Report").   Ironically, this particular FOIA request was filed in October 2016 under the Obama administration but they apparently just "didn't have time" to get to it.

Judicial Watch today released  79 pages  of Justice Department documents concerning ethics issues related to FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s involvement with his wife’s political campaign.  The documents include an email showing  Mrs. McCabe was recruited for a Virginia state senate race in  February 2015  by then-Virginia Lieutenant Governor Ralph Northam’s office.

 The news that Clinton used a private email server broke  five days later, on March 2, 2015. Five days after that, former Clinton Foundation  board member  and Democrat party fundraiser, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, met with the McCabes. She announced her candidacy on March 12. Soon afterward, Clinton/McAuliffe-aligned political groups donated nearly $700,000 (40% of the campaign’s total funds) to McCabe’s wife for her campaign.

 Judicial Watch obtained the documents through a July 24, 2017, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed after the Justice Department failed to respond to an October 24, 2016, FOIA request

Among other things, the new FOIA dump reveals a panicked FBI's efforts to enlist the support of an army of lawyers and public relations personnel to deal with the original Wall Street Journal article (see: "Clinton Ally Aided Campaign of FBI Official’s Wife") that first revealed McCabe's ties to the Clintons and his simultaneous oversight of the Clinton email investigation. 

But perhaps none of the newly revealed emails from Judicial Watch today are more important than the following one in which  McCabe describes how FBI Director Comey was breifed on his ties to the Clintons just days before his wife announced her Senate bid  (and subsequently received roughly $700,000 in political donations for Clinton-friendly PACs) and then confirmed that he  "has no issue with it."  ..."
