====''NYT'' leak====

In September 2019 ''The Daily Caller'''s Chuck Ross reported, ''*Chuck Ross: Andrew McCabe’s Lawyer Wants To Find Out What The Grand Jury Is Up To.''<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2019/09/13/andrew-mccabe-email-grand-jury-indictment/</ref> McCabe’s defense attorney, [[Michael Bromwich]] (also the attorney for [[Christine Blasey Ford]] in the [[Kavanaugh smear]] hearings), leaked his communication with U.S. Attorney for DC, [[Jessie Liu]], to the ''[[New York Times]]''.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/13/us/politics/andrew-mccabe-grand-jury.html</ref>  The purpose of Bromwich's letter to Jessie Liu was to push information gained within the Lawfare network into the media narrative.  It was transparently obvious that Lawfare allied lawyers who left the U.S. Attorneys Office in DC were leaking what they know to the Lawfare allied members on former deputy FBI director [[Andrew McCabe]]’s defense.  Bromwich could not directly say he was aware of [[Grand Jury]] evidence, because such information would be illegal to acquire.  However, current and former DOJ officials leaked to the ''New York Times'' and ''[[Washington Post]]'', and Bromwich could then cite the reporting on those leaks.

Leaks to the ''NYT'' and ''WaPo'' are how the Lawfare alliance push their narrative.  These are the same DOJ/FBI officials who leaked to the same media when constructing the [[Russia collusion  hoax]] narrative around the [[2016 Trump campaign]].  The same exact people.<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/09/13/mccabes-lawfare-alliance-working-with-media-allies-to-frame-defense/</ref>
