McCabe's Firing: Vindictiveness and Obstruction of Justice

The following was posted as comment in two other posts by me. The news has been breaking so fast, it's hard to put it all together and start to answer the "why?" Yeah, Trump is petty and vindictive, but there must be more. Any other inquiring minds with observations?



Let's not forget that McCabe is, shall I say, extremely knowledgeable on how the Russians operate their criminal enterprises. Per his statement on his firing "I have been an FBI Special Agent for over 21 years. I spent half of that time investigating Russian Organized Crime as a street agent and Supervisor in New York City"

And he gets fired just as Mueller subpoenas Trump Organization documents on Russia and The Cambridge Analytica news breaks? The timing of McCabe's firing is not just about his pension, that's just part and very possibly a small part, of the story.
