The timing is extremely significant. It is, after all, essentially the last day before McCabe ran out the clock (given the weekend). This happening today is no accident, it's a message. And I don't think the loss of the money is the principal issue, I think the loss of prestige is. On Tuesday morning McCabe was going to do his little "I got away with it" dance, and everyone in DC who was watching would have been chuckling with glee. The loss of that is the real blow.
He's out of the In Crowd either way, but at present the only thing that's holding him from the utter oblivion of being cast out of the Beltway Insiders altogether is what he has on the rest of that crowd. It may buy him a lot of under-the-table money or a sinecure on CNN, but it won't buy him back the prestige. And now he's a liability.

.... bears repeating.
All those sources who told me Sessions wouldn't do anything just phoned in . . .
They said McCabe's wife will file for divorce so she can date Don, Jr.
