Yesterday a Justice Department OIG report detailed why former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe could be in some serious hot water. The IG found that McCabe lied on multiple occasions, sometimes while under oath. You’d think that would be front page news, but Ari Fleischer describes why that doesn’t necessarily appear to be the case:
Both the NYT & WP put on the front page a story about someone no one has heard of, Elliott Broidy, for paying off a mistress. Both papers buried a story about someone everyone has heard of, former FBI Dep Director Andew McCabe, who was found found to have lied 3 times under oath.

I listened to CNN in the 5:00 hour last night. They gave the IG report about McCabe two sentences. One of the two was his lawyer defending him.
