Here is my assessment. McCabe played his hand as the Gambler in the popular Kenny Rodgers song. You have to know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away, know when to run. McCabe played his hand right up to the moment when he had to show his cards or fold big time and there was no way for him to walk away or run. So, he folded and became a canary. Now, his fortunes will turn on who can deliver and my guess he can deliver the whole stinking cabal all the way to the very top. Next to pedos, life expectancy in prison is not great for a dirty cop.
I hope it’s as you assess. But don’t forget Web Hubbel, who was making a six-figure salary from the Clintons while in prison. It remains to be seen whether he sings or gets paid not to sing. The latter is more lucrative.
