The Washington Post, (paywall), laid out the basics of Jeff Sessions’ firing of Andrew McCabe, an act one can only describe as petty and vengeful:

Some in the bureau might view McCabe’s termination so close to retirement as an unnecessarily harsh and politically influenced punishment for a man who spent more than 20 years at the FBI.

Uh, yeah. Beyond harsh, it’s certainly infantile and most assuredly another sign of how morally compromised this administration really is. Let the howls of indignation begin…

A day later, the Washington Post, (paywall), opined on how this might come back and bite the Thief-in-Chief™ squarely in the ass, saying:

And it was made abundantly clear Friday night that McCabe is incensed by the decision. He released a lengthy statement deriding his firing as “slander” and arguing that the inspector general’s report was accelerated in response to his closed-door testimony saying he would corroborate key claims made by Comey. He suggested that the whole thing was part of a campaign to undermine the investigations involving Trump.

On Monday, the New York Times, (paywall), published an explainer on the McCabe situation – definitely worth a read!

…and because I haven’t issued a poster in a while, enjoy!
