Here we go. The New York Times says that the upcoming IG report will accused McCabe of improperly leaking info to the media.







The Hill:

A report from the Justice Department’s inspector general will criticize former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe for allowing agency officials to provide information about an ongoing investigation to the media, The New York Times reported Thursday. McCabe reportedly authorized FBI officials to provide information to the Wall Street Journal in its investigation into how the agency handled the probe into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server. The deputy director allowed officials to discuss a meeting detailed in an October 2016 Journal report, during which some top DOJ officials reportedly decided against authorizing a grand jury or subpoenas in the Clinton investigation. The Journal report also cited sources, including one “close to McCabe,” who said McCabe had claimed the FBI had the ability to continue with the investigation into the Clinton Foundation during a heated conversation with a senior DOJ official.

OK, I’ll admit I’m a little confused here. If the Deputy Attorney General authorizes people to speak to the press, is it really a leak? Aren’t there times when this is a proper thing to do?

Even if you assume the worst in answer to those questions, some people are saying the info he leaked was actually detrimental to Hillary Clinton, not to Trump. So I honestly don’t know what’s going on here. You let me know what you think in the comments.
