Blockbuster report on internal FBI conflict over investigating Clinton machine
According to a person familiar with the probes, on Aug. 12, a senior Justice Department official called Mr. McCabe to voice his displeasure at finding that New York FBI agents were still openly pursuing the Clinton Foundation probe during the election season. Mr. McCabe said agents still had the authority to pursue the issue as long as they didn’t use overt methods requiring Justice Department approvals.
The Justice Department official was “very pissed off,” according to one person close to Mr. McCabe, and pressed him to explain why the FBI was still chasing a matter the department considered dormant. (snip)
“Are you telling me that I need to shut down a validly predicated investigation?” Mr. McCabe asked, according to people familiar with the conversation. After a pause, the official replied, “Of course not,” these people said.
Who was this unidentified, but apparently male official?
There are conflicting views on McCabe’s role, to say the least. But apparently the foundation investigation was not shut down, yet stymied when agents asked for help from a US Attorney. When stonewalled by the Eastern District staff, they wanted to go to the Southern Districty, where Preet Bahara is in charge, and were rebuked by McCabe for shopping for a prosecutor.
