We know it's the same time frame where they're asking McCabe.
What I think is problematic for the prosecution there is that Ted Cruz's question goes two different ways.
When he starts it, it's, did you ever leak about the Trump administration or Trump investigation in Clinton?
And he ends it asking, did you ever leak at all or authorize anyone to leak at all?
That's going to be an ambiguous, if they're arresting the case on that second charge,
a follow-up on Ted Cruz, which we don't know yet because we have so little information, a jury's going to say, man, we are really starting to split hairs here on what you're trying to pin Comey down.
I think one of our problems right now to judge the strength of this indictment is we need to know exactly what the grand jury made the decision on.
Grand juries are pretty perceptive.
They sometimes have lawyers on them, which is a good thing.
uh there has to be something more than what we're able to speculate on here for the grand jury to make that decision but we're flying blind and i think that david has got some really great points i i have wondered for the last 24 hours i can't tell exactly what they've indicted to come before specifically i know what they've indicted legal charges but it's been very difficult to understand what the actual transmission of information is
Those clips you just played, Megan, show that James Comey clearly lied when he testified to my former boss, Chuck Grassley, in 2017.
He was under oath.
That's perjury.
We're beyond the statute of limitations for that one.
They probably are in the Dave camp, that they don't think that this is a slam dunk case.
And so they indict it for false statements and they did not indict for perjury.
Well, I mean, I think the grand jury indicted because he reaffirmed his 2017 testimony in 2020.
I want to.
Yeah.
Listen, Richmond is very clear that he was leaking on behalf of Comey and trying to craft the narrative for Comey prior to Comey leaving the directorship.
