I'm reading Andrew McCabe's book, "The Threat". It's excellent, informative, and very readable.

8. Nope. I, naturally, provisionally assume they were working together given

their relationship and reinforcing actions for Republicans and against the Democratic Party over a period of months, not that we can know what the nonpublic actions might have been. That's one reason I underlined "public." What did the director and deputy director of the FBI do without the whole world watching?

The other, of course, is the extreme risk accompanying illegal and/or shockingly unethical actions taken right out in the open, and this one of course lead to immediate investigation by 2 agencies, which concluded firing offense by one of the most powerful men in the nation. A good job of magic-wanding the crime into just disappearing afterward was done, and the subsequent "falling out among thieves" that cost McCabe his pension has been put to very good use in creating his new identity as a good-guy victim of bad Trump. A hero, in fact. Uhuh.

Rarely a talking head drops a very brief reference to what really happened into a discussion, maybe another will barely nod, and that's all. But because I've watched for it, I've heard and seen it more than once. But that's all. Power.
