Trumps Gripe Against McCabe Included Comey Flight

https://politicalwire.com/2018/01/29/trumps-gripe-mccabe-included-comey-ride-home/

"SNIP........

“The day after President Trump fired James Comey, he became so furious watching television footage of the ousted FBI director boarding a government-funded plane from Los Angeles back to Washington, D.C. that he called the bureau’s acting director, Andrew McCabe, to vent,” NBC News reports.

“Trump demanded to know why Comey was allowed to fly on an FBI plane after he had been fired… McCabe told the president he hadn’t been asked to authorize Comey’s flight, but if anyone had asked, he would have approved it.”

“The president was silent for a moment and then turned on McCabe, suggesting he ask his wife how it feels to be a loser — an apparent reference to a failed campaign for state office in Virginia that McCabe’s wife made in 2015.”

with wanting to punish and humiliate Comey as much as he could - firing him without warning wasn't enough; he wanted to make his life just that much more difficult.
