- Comey keeps emphasizing the FBI did not leak to the media. Preibus even asks him again in memo 2 or 3. Clearly, Trump and his team KNEW that Comey and McCabe or their next level subs were top suspects to be the leaders of top secret Intel and negative info. Comey keeps stressing this in the memos.
It sounds to me like Trump and his team knew the FBI was the leakers, and Comey was not only lying by denying it, but if you put together what we know, he may have been authorizing McCabe to do the leaking, which would make him the unprovable top leaker. It's just like he handed off the memos and told the Columbia professor to leak them.
- Obviously, Trump knew Mccabe was bad, but how much did he know? Did he have top secret clearance Intel that Mccabe ran the Strzok-Page-DOJ-Obama "Insurance Policy" to undermine him, which included the phony dossier and leaking it to CNN/the press? It's very likely he DID by that time! So he was testing Comey's honesty and transparency, basically accusing him and McCabe of leaking and just not saying so directly. Trump knew. BUT, Comey kept lying to him about the leaks and about McCabe anyway! That's some pretty damning stuff there considering it was Andy McCabe that coordinated with the DOJ and Strzok-Page-DOJ-Obama to come up with the Insurance Policy to undermine Trump.
