What position did Mark Felt hold when he was Deep Throat to Woodward and Bernstein?
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.
Beginning of thread:
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.
