No deals. He’s scum.
If he knows he’s going to jail, why waste lawyer fees on a case that’ll be moot?

In a civil case, McCabe can be forced to sit for a deposition. If he invokes the 5th Amendment to the questions, that invocation can be used as evidence in the civil case. If he answers questions in the deposition, those answers can be used against him if he is indicted criminally. This suggests McCabe is concerned he will be indicted. It is also good advice from his criminal lawyer, assuming he has one.
