The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Lied to Congress

Dope, would you mind clarifying what the lie actually was?

I'm not being cute - the indictment didn't say what the alleged false statement was, and all the news reporting seems to think that the false statement was his claim that he didn't authorize the leak to the WSJ. But that statement was true. McCabe and Comey's accounts of what happened after the publication of the article differ materially, but I don't believe that McCabe has ever claimed that Comey was the one who authorized the leak. McCabe has said that McCabe authorized the leak, and he told Comey about it later. He did not say that Comey authorized the leak:

foxnews.com: Andy McCarthy doubts Comey case gets to trial

(the first Fox panelist doesn't believe that there will be a conviction; the second panelist doesn't think the case ever gets to trial).

You seem to have been far more absorbed in the details of this. Is there another statement that's out there where McCabe actually said that Comey was the one who authorized the leak? Or is the indictment going to be based on another statement?
