🔥(1) New batch of @ChuckGrassley letters give insight into exactly what McCabe and his Gofundme lawyer are requesting. On 5/31 Grassley writes to Bromwich requesting the emails that they claim to have between McCabe and Comey, as neither the IG or OPR report mentioned them.

(2) 4/4 Esq. Gofundme responds claims McCabe was not a key decision maker, says FBI prohibits sharing emails but says they were sent 10/21/16 and 10/23/16, then he plagiarizes Gen Flynn’s atty and says it’s well known OIG has made a criminal referral. #NODEALS

(3) After saying @TheJusticeDept is leaking non-stop McCabe’s lawyer says he’s willing to testify in exchange for immunity. He goes on to blab about how terrible and unconstitutional the firing was and wraps up by saying if there’s no immunity McCabe will claim the 5th.

(4) #TheGrassanator immediately responds and seems less than impressed, he says they might consider immunity but it would require 2/3 vote along with DOJ approval. Grassley says he’d still need more info and insinuates if there’s nothing to hide why worry? Also requests NDA.

(5) Bromwich replies that they will not discuss the scope, interestingly he says NDA was signed based on termination and that the @FBI specifically has said other documents cannot be disclosed.

(6) The NDA he includes is for HIM though which seems a standard practice for a lawyer representing a FBI agent? It’s singed on March 8, days before McCabe was fired. #NODEALS

(7) @ChuckGrassley seemingly exhausted with Gofundme lawyer, writes to Wray and reminds him appropriated funds may not be used for NDA and one signed isn’t legally binding. Tells him to share that with “McCabe’s Atty” and asks why they keep muzzling FBI employees🔥

(8) Playing hardball with @ChuckGrassley is a fools game. It’s quite possible #McCabe will claim the 5th but it’s quite improbable that he’s going to avoid criminal charges. Let’s be honest @JusticeOIG has or can get their hands on the emails #NODEALS
