Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe disagreed with House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff on Sunday over whether the bureau set a precedent in turning over evidence in the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s unauthorized private email server.
During the first interview on ABC’s “This Week,†Schiff argued the Justice Department must release special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report on the Russia investigation, no matter what the evidence shows, because it released materials in the Clinton case, despite prosecutors not bringing charges.
“I’m not sure that [former FBI Director James Comey’s] decision to announce it in July is a precedent,†McCabe told “This Week" host George Stephanopoulos afterwards.
“However, I think that it is a very concerning and now recent precedent the volume of information that the FBI turned over to Congress in the wake of, after the investigation was concluded. That is something that concerned me greatly at that time, and I thought, you know, this is a practice that will be hard to step away from,†he said.
