FYI, the WH changed their FBI/Leak story late last night.

(snip)

The discussions between the White House and the bureau began with FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus on the sidelines of a separate White House meeting the day after the stories were published, according to a US law enforcement official.

The White House initially disputed that account, saying that McCabe called Priebus early that morning and said The New York Times story vastly overstates what the FBI knows about the contacts.

But a White House official later corrected their version of events to confirm what the law enforcement official described.

The report that the FBI called Priebus and told him that the news reports were inaccurate came from a white house source. It has been changed.

I have seen this version posted several places and wanted to bring up that the WH changed their story. Priebus was not called by McCabe. I doubt that McCabe ever told him the news stories were bullsh*t.
