McCabe (ex-FBI):"It's total bullshit....It's not true, and we want you to know that"(NYT story 2017)

“You know this story in The New York Times?” Priebus knew it all too well. McCabe was referring to a recent Times story of February 14 that stated, “Phone records and intercepted calls show that members of Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and other Trump associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the elections, according to four current and former American officials.”

The story was one of the first bombs to go off about alleged Trump-Russian connections after Flynn’s resignation.

“It’s total bullshit,” McCabe said. “It’s not true, and we want you to know that. It’s grossly overstated.”

Oh my God, thought Priebus."

Agreed. Only for Woodward's reputation of cross checking, I would call it a Priebus lie. OnDoutside Sep 2018 #3
