Rod Rosenstein said you could not believe the accusations against him coming from anonymous sources, which is in itself a joke. But now, we know the story came from notes McCabe made at the meetings and had turned over to IG Michael Horowitz during the investigation. Today, McCabe was given a chance to walk back what he had written, but he refused to do so. He didn’t confirm them either.
Shortly after the New York Times released its report, Andrew McCabe made a statement through his lawyer Michael Bromwich–he did not deny The NY Times report.
“Andrew McCabe drafted memos to memorialize significant discussions he had with some high-level officials and preserved them so he would have an accurate contemporaneous record of those discussions. When he was interviewed by the Special Counsel more than a year ago, he gave all of his memos — classified and unclassified — to the Special Counsel’s office,” Michael Bromwich said in an email.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein immediately denied the claims in the New York Times report.
“The New York Times’s story is inaccurate and factually incorrect,” he said in a statement. “I will not further comment on a story based on anonymous sources who are obviously biased against the department and are advancing their own personal agenda. But let me be clear about this: Based on my personal dealings with the president, there is no basis to invoke the 25th Amendment.”
It’s good when the bad guys start going after each other. It means we are one immunity deal away from the entire truth.
