He knows he's got less than a snow balls chance in July of getting that job. His main concern is keeping the one he's got now. My advice to him would be to take all his personal effects home now. It'll save him time when the hammer drops.
Best advice that he will get today...bag it and tag it and send it to the rail head...Lock and load, here come the commie gooks.
That took me back to memories of chatty ones in the office who talked up their career moves. They made big plans to use their current position to move ahead, but sometimes at the expense of their boss.
The Real funny one was the guy who asked for a meeting with the boss and told others ahead of time he was going to let the boss in on the plans.
The boss turned the tables on him. While meeting with the boss, a crew came in, cleaned out his desk, secured his files and computer access. Once the chatty guy let the cat out of the bag for his big plans, The boss became very sympathetic - "Tom, I want to work with you to make those plans happen. How about you just give me your office keys out of your pocket and any other company property on your person. Sam here from security has a box of your personal belongings from your old office and will escort you to the door. Your last check will be mailed to you. Thank You for your many years of loyalty to the firm.
McCabe later went on to say some rather inflammatory and hostile things about Trump, claiming that Comey was universally respected and that the entire FBI was in shock at Trump’s action.
From what I’ve read, this is not true, and furthermore, even if it was, McCabe shouldn’t be speaking this way about his boss. He clearly has no plans for working with Trump in any way, and I think Trump would be very wrong to put him in charge.
