    Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe admitted he misled investigators about his role in a media leak and apologized for it, according to transcripts of his interviews with investigators released Thursday.

    The transcripts were released by the Justice Department’s inspector general in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

    An unidentified FBI investigator detailed his frustration with Mr. McCabe over the time he spent investigating the leak, only to discover the leak came from the former deputy director himself, according to the transcripts. Mr. McCabe had repeatedly denied he was the source of the leak, but later confessed and apologized when the investigator confronted him, the transcripts said.

    Why is it that I believe none of these bureaucrats will ever face prosecution or jail time? It is as though the system is protecting its own.

    Brennan is a communist traitor. McCabe is a crook. The FBI is dirty.

    The FBI is FILTHY. Good to hear Handy Andy finally came sort of clean, see, it's okay not to lie, McCabe. He was so Deep State and now lying is part of his job as a CNN correspondent. He put a lot of people in jail for lying to the FBI, so it should be his turn. But the fall guy is and was always Jim Comey.

    So, if I'm reading this correctly, he is apologizing as though he merely misstated it earlier, not that he lied about it.

    “I need to know from you did you authorize this article? Were you aware of it? Did you authorize it?” the investigator said he asked Mr. McCabe. “And as nice as could be, he said, ‘Yep. Yep, I did.’”

    McCabe’s revelation and it changed the probe by “180 degrees.”

    When investigators showed the former No. 2 official at the FBI his statement from an earlier interview in which he said he did not know the leaker’s identity, Mr. McCabe appeared surprised and said he “didn’t ever remember seeing this before.”

    “I told him, I said we sent it to you at least three times or two times,” the agent said. Mr. McCabe responded, “There was a lot going on.”

    The U.S. Attorney in D.C. is currently mulling criminal charges against Mr. McCabe based on Mr. Howoritz’s conclusions. His attorneys have denied any wrongdoing. Mr. McCabe said he would refuse to accept a plea deal.
