Maybe I'm reading these statements wrong though.

I think you got the statements right.  The question is, what can we infer from the facts given us as of now? Should we shoehorn them into apparent contradictories (McCabe is innocent or he is guilty; the process is not corrupt or it is) or leave them as logical contraries, in which both can be false at the same time?

I think the latter.

It is quite possible that McCabe is as bad as Trump claims, and we will see that right away when the final report is released this spring.

But it is also possible the that Prez influenced the investigation, crossed the line between the Justice Dept. and his office to intimidate his AG and others to artificially separate the McCabe investigation and set it upon a timeline which would deny his pension. Most would regard that as a corruption of process--even if the FBI's OPR office was impartially following procedure and unaware of their superiors' motives.  McCabe quit his job because of Trump harassment, and now he has lost his pension because of a decision to expedite his case. As one poster has already said, "the optics are bad." 

Therefore guilty McCabe AND corrupt process--that possible combination cannot be rejected yet. Affirming one side would not negate the other. "Wait and see" doesn't affirm the innocence of either.

In Russia, oligarchs who are guilty of violating the law are allowed to flourish until they cross Putin. Then they are brought into court where they are quickly jailed and quickly found guilty.  To say that the process is politicized and corrupt would not imply Mikhail Khodorovsky and Boris Berezhofsky were therefore necessarily innocent of charges against them.
