OK...so now I'm confused....aside from the whole debacle between Priebus and McCabe/Comey, is the part where McCabe tells Priebus that the FBI is not finding anything as far as tRUMP's people talking to Russia during the campaign, is that part of what McCabe said, true?? Are they really not finding facts to back up that tRUMP's people talked to Russia during the campaign???

The denial comes from Trump's people. Who do you believe?

Seems to me that means the FBI is disqualified from conducting the investigation.

(11,996 posts)According to an anonymous senior administration official, Priebus responded to the FBI's McCabe: "Okay, what am I supposed to do?" and "How do we fix this?"
According to a White House official, McCabe then talked to other officials at the FBI and determined there was nothing the FBI could do. FBI officials said they didn't want to get into the business of publicly parsing elements of news reports.

Someone who was on CNN last night with Blitzer said the same thing - McCabe had approached Priebus - not sure who he was sourcing though.
Anyway, I think it would be strange for Priebus to approach the FBI unless someone (McCabe) had said something.
Also realize this contact happened 10 days ago just after the reports broke. Who knows what they have uncovered since (if anything).
