Intelligence man

What was Andrew McCabe thinking?  He went on CBS “60 Minutes” and said that when he was acting FBI director he discussed with the deputy attorney general the option of removing Trump from office.  Did he think there wouldn’t be consequences?

He did know it’s not a felony to say ‘no comment’ to a newscaster, didn’t he?  Does he think just because he’s been fired nothing matters any more?  He says he wanted to protect the Mueller investigation.  I have a really hard time understanding how his interview did that.

I understand why he wondered if Trump should be removed from office.  Many people do.  But when you’re a high government official, that’s something you reveal when the danger is over, not when the suspect is still holding the detonator.
