Basically 45 tried to create FUD about the investigation by personalizing the role of McCabe. Wray took that off the table and put in a guy who has a resume that Republicans would usually swoon over. This guy, and thousands more like him, mean that 45 has to serially attack the FBI agent by agent, and the FBI intend to make that very painful - i.e. you attack the FBI at your own peril: https://twitter.com/HoarseWisperer/status/958166235065323520 Interesting take on the blow back the White House probably doesn't even know is coming from the McCabe issue.

CW: The other (completely unrelated) political story which caught my attention today was the news that Representative Trey Gowdy will not be running for re-election.

Gowdy sees the handwriting on the wall because:

** Gowdy helped write the memo Trump will release tomorrow that people are referring to as the "Nunes" memo, which makes perfect sense when you consider the fact that Devin Nunes is an ignorant tool. Gowdy refers to it as "my memo":

"Well, I helped draft it. And I would tell my friends in the FBI, everything I got that went in the memo, I got from you. So, I don’t know why you need to see my memo."

** Gowdy was on the Trump transition team of which Bobby Three Sticks has obtained all their emails.

** Gowdy is in this up to his neck... as the noose tightens.

I remember when a Republican House was regarded as basically impossible, like a Labour Government during the Thatcher years. Inconceivable. Will never happen. 10 years later, there is a Republican House and a Tory Government, and the chances of that changing? Inconceivable. Will never happen. Sometimes it is 5 years, sometimes 15.
