This is why Trump is a [Samuel L Jackson’s favorite word] idiot.
All McCabe wanted to do was sit down and shut up until his retirement, then quietly exit, stage left. He’s a man who knows where a TON of bodies are buried; what he knows legally and what he knows but can’t prove is huge. Letting him have his retirement and sending a couple of guys around to let him know the score - that his silence would enable his retirement payments to proceed normally - that would have been smart. Bribing him with his own money.
Instead, like a junkie shooting up for the present with no regards for the future, Trump took away the pension; I hope he enjoyed it… because it’s about to be time to pay for it. Do you really think that looking at prison time and not getting his pension he’s going to keep his mouth shut? Or do you think he’s gonna squeal like a canary?
And that’s the big problem with Trump. He is an impulsive, non-calculating, blundering fool who not only isn’t playing two moves ahead, he’s playing four moves behind, trying moving pieces that are already on his opponent’s victory row. It’s not that he’s evil… it’s that he’s a clueless n00b.
