i still can't find a link to the actual Q and A. the news accounts say it was a denial that he used anyone to leak.
but we did learn that Comey had his friend Richman leak to the NYT.
if that's the theory of prosecution i don't see what's wrong with it.

Senator Cruz: (01:51:30) [Comments about FISA matters.] All right. Let's shift to another topic. On May 3rd, 2017, in this committee, Chairman Grassley asked you point blank, "Have you ever been an anonymous source in news reports about matters relating to the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation?" You responded under oath, "Never." He then asked you, "Have you ever authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports about the Trump investigation or the Clinton administration?" You responded again under oath, "No." Now, as you know, Mr. McCabe, who works for you, has publicly and repeatedly stated that he leaked information to the Wall Street Journal and that you were directly aware of it and that you directly authorized it. Now, what Mr. McCabe is saying and what you testified to this committee cannot both be true. One or the other is false. Who's telling the truth?
Mr. Comey: (01:52:43) I can only speak to my testimony. I stand by the testimony you summarized that I gave in May of 2017.
Senator Cruz: (01:52:50) So your testimony is you've never authorized anyone to leak? And Mr. McCabe, if he says contrary, is not telling the truth, is that correct?
Mr. Comey: (01:52:58) Again, I'm not going to characterize Andy's testimony, but mine is the same today.

so this looks like a McCabe leak and not the Richman leak. if i'm correct that these are the two answers at issue.

thanks.
the problem is that McCabe has lied over and over again, even under oath. hard to build a perjury case upon the testimony of a serial perjurer.

Even bigger problem is that a Grand Jury REFUSED to return an indictment against McCabe.
So how are you going to convict Comey based upon the "truth" of McCabe's statement when a Grand Jury didn't believe he committed a crime?
LOL!

?
doesn't that bolster McCabe?
it's not the leak that is the basis of the new indictment; it's the alleged lying about it. it's a process crime.

WHAT CRIME WAS COMMITTED!?!
McCabe said that he spoke with Comey THE DAY AFTER the article came out and told Comey that he (McCabe) authorized the disclosure.
So when did McCabe ever say, "Yes, Comey authorized me to leak the information."
???

ok, i see.
link? where did McCabe say he got authorization only after the leak? it's a good argument if supported.

"Comey, in his September 2020 testimony, told Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, that he stood by prior testimony that he did not, as FBI director, authorize a leak of information to The Wall Street Journal for an October 2016 article that detailed a Justice Department probe of then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s email use.
Cruz told the Justice Department in a letter three months later that former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe admitted knowing about and authorizing the leak.
McCabe insisted that Comey was aware of his decision to authorize the disclosure, while Comey “has denied this claim,” Cruz wrote.
“Mr. Comey and Mr. McCabe’s statements are irreconcilably contradictory,” Cruz wrote. “Mr. McCabe says that he told Mr. Comey of the leak and that Mr. Comey approved — effectively authorizing the leak after the fact. Mr. Comey, on the other hand, has said that he neither authorized the leak nor knew of Mr. McCabe’s involvement.”

if the authorization is entirely "after the fact" then Comey should not have been indicted on this matter. fair point.
authorization means pre-approval in the normal sense and if the argument is that it's retroactive then the statement is way too variable in meaning to support a perjury indictment.
