NY Times:McCabe Says Justice Dept. Officials Had Discussions About Pushing Trump Out . . . “ 'I was very concerned that I was able to put the Russia case on absolutely solid ground, in an indelible fashion,” Mr. McCabe said. “That were I removed quickly, or reassigned or fired, that the case could not be closed or vanish in the night without a trace.' ”
. . . [Lindsey] "Graham said he was willing to try to subpoena Mr. McCabe if necessary to compel him to appear, though it is unlikely he could get the necessary Democratic signoff."
