McCabe was not the only, or even the original, source for that WSJ story. It seems plausible that some would-be prosecution witnesses against McCabe—especially from NY field office—probably had a strong incentive to throw McCabe under the bus to hide their own leak participation.

You've just demonstrated you haven't read the report. When you have, let me know what you think about the charges that are entirely different from the ones you think they are.

You're right; I didn't read the entire thing. But I was referring specifically to the fact that NY-ADIC gave some damaging statements, not all of which seem to correspond 1:1 with his contemporaneous notes, and McCabe believed that office responsible for the initial leaks.

Except that's completely unrelated to the charged conduct. Indeed, he got away with not copping to bawling NY-ADIC out by saying he didn't recall doing so. The key witnesses here are basically FBI Investigative Agents.
