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.

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.

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