Correct. McCabe's response does not make sense.
But we all know what's going on here. McCabe is trying to re-write history and shape the narrative in advance.

From article:
McCabe said the FBI opened its case in late July 2016 based on information about Trump adviser George Papadopoulos.
“We open the case, and then we think, ‘OK, now who are we actually going to investigate?'” McCabe said at the event, which aired Tuesday on C-SPAN.

According to Downer, Papadopoulos at some point mentioned the Russians had damaging information on Hillary Clinton.
Downer made clear in an interview that Papadopoulos did not say what the information was.

Downer also said that none of Papadopulos' comments indicated that Trump had any knowledge of what was being discussed.
“Nothing he [Papadopoulos] said in that conversation indicated Trump himself had been conspiring with the Russians to collect information on Hillary Clinton,”

Nor was there any Official Intelligence given to the FBI.
Nunes: “There was no intelligence that passed through the Five Eyes channels to our government. There was no Five Eyes Intelligence Product as it’s been reported. There was no product.”

The FBI was supposedly informed on July 22, 2016, of the Papa–Downer conversation.
Just over a week later, on July 31, 2016, the FBI opened a massive counterintelligence investigation into an opposing presidential candidate’s campaign based solely on this single conversation.

And if Papadopoulos was rationale for opening investigation, why was it that Papadopoulos was not even interviewed by the FBI until early 2017: once on Jan. 27, which resulted in his eventual indictment for lying to FBI, and a second time on Feb. 16.
Hopefully, the investigators tear apart the false narrative that is being created in advance of the IG Report and Durham's ongoing (and expanded) investigation.
