1/ Seeing a lot of Trump Squad triumphalism over McCabe.

Here's something: "McCabe had been planning to retire in March, and will officially leave the agency then."

So...winning?

2/ Inside the tent pissing out is generally better than outside the tent pissing in. Be careful what you wish for, Team Trump, because McCabe is going to be a hot get for network interviews to tell the story, book deals, etc.

3/ And McCabe is now one more data point on the "Trump is an authoritarian dick who wants a world where no legal, political, or institutional checks or accountability exist for him.

4/ Take the book deal, Andy. Trust me. It's more than your FBI pension. By a lot. I'd also like to make one more interesting historical point someone just popped in my TL.

What position did Mark Felt hold when he was Deep Throat to Woodward and Bernstein?

5/ Oh. Deputy Director of the FBI.

Just like Andy McCabe.

Oh, History, you and your magnificent sister Karma really are my favorites.

6/ Also, recall why Trump *really* hates McCabe.

Item A: "McCabe today is a figure of wide admiration for standing up for the bureau when it was under political attack." (Lawfare)

:

7/ Item B: McCable said -- truthfully -- that Comey is respected and admired in the FBI.

President Toddler can't have that.

8/ HT to @arsenalhound for the Felt point.
