“McCabe’s lawyers claim that, when McCabe leaked classified information to a Wall Street Journal reporter related to that investigation, it was done with Comey’s knowledge. So the central questions in this case are whether McCabe is telling the truth and, if so, whether Comey’s allowing a subordinate to carry out leaks is legally equivalent to authorizing them. Trump’s critics are trying to paper over those details and instead depict this indictment as simply a norm-shattering case of a president weaponizing the Justice Department to go after innocent people just because he doesn’t personally like them. … However, it’s better to understand this indictment as the latest chapter in a long struggle within the American federal government between elected and unelected officials.” (10/01/25)
