*DOJ fired former deputy FBI director McCabe hours before retirement, as POTUS wanted;
* we learned Trump campaign data firm Cambridge Analytica had unauthorized access to 50 million people's FB data.

All 3 of these stories are of potential consequence.
1) POTUS notifying court he might seek $20M from @StormyDaniels means he is now acknowledging he was party to the NDA Her attorney @MichaelAvenatti was daring POTUS to sue them and amazingly he took the bait. Discovery awaits.

2) Regardless of the merits of what the FBI disciplinary officials recommended regarding McCabe, he is now quite likely in a quite different position and frame of mind than he would have been. And he’s a witness for Mueller.
3) Trump campaign’s data firm Cambridge Analytica using, in an unauthorized way, the data of 50 million Facebook users, might have more repercussions for Facebook and its fight against regulation than it will against the Trump campaign. But as with all of these cases who knows?
So even if you’re trying to enjoy your weekend and you won’t pay attention until Sunday or Monday, a treasure trove awaits. And by “treasure trove,” I of course mean “dumpster fire.”
