McCabe is smart. He won’t even have his reserved parking revoked.

McCabe can pay Flynn type legal fees. Make my day.

Not likely. McCabe will regret his decision. White-collar and ranking law enforcement defendants characteristically have an especially hard time accepting any plea deal because it marks them as a criminal and requires cooperation with the government against their friends and colleagues. They refuse the earliest and best plea deal and get a less attractive deal, or they go to trial and get hammered at sentencing.

As one criminal defense lawyer I knew explained, mobsters are easier to represent than white-collar defendants because mobsters know they are criminals and recognize when a plea deal is worth taking. White-collar defendants and their families resist accepting a good plea deal even when criminal misconduct is clear. My lawyer friend sometimes hired a felon who got a psychology degree in prison to counsel white-collar defense clients and their families about the need to accept a plea deal despite the shame and loss of status involved. Even then, many gambled on their chances at trial.

He is going to trial in D.C......with jury of his peers (CNN and MSNBC hosts) except for the jury foreman who will be an Antifa leader.
