Anyone waiting for final proof that Washington needs a second special counsel got it Friday. The breathless anticipation over whether Attorney General Jeff Sessions would fire Andrew McCabe before McCabe’s FBI retirement began was a ridiculous exercise better suited for a television game show.
The pressure built because if he survived Friday, McCabe could retire with a lifetime pensionestimated to be worth $1.8 million. But if Sessions followed the recommendations of Justice Department lawyers and fired McCabe for wrongdoing before the witching hour, the former deputy director would get no pension and might face a criminal investigation.

occur. They walk to crawl. Trump is going to bring Joseph
DiGenova on board whom I know nothing about though it seems to be a positive choice. The nasty looking neocon, John Bolton might also be a choice. Whenever
Bolton comes on Lou Dobbs, I change the channel. He is
truly revolting.
Joseph DiGenova
