This matter of firing Andrew McCabe illustrates the first time that the DoJ under Sessions has taken any visible action that inflicts a consequence on any Swamp rat. It was a bit of a crucial test for AG Sessions because it would indicate if he was as serious about going after the Swamp criminals as he is about illegal aliens and sweeping up MS13 gangs. Prior to firing McCabe, AG Sessions had done two things, though, that hinted a glimmer that he might be a white hat that would start going after the Swamp:  Sued California in federal court to challenge their sanctuary state/city sedition - remarking there would be no Nullification, no secession. Later he rejected the state's attempt to get the trial moved from Sacramento to SanFran (the seditionist power base). Sedition by states and cities against constitutionally enumerated federal powers does definitely relate to the matter of taking on the Swamp (the Swamp is all about overthrowing the constitutional republic and they try and advance their goal on many fronts) In a recent interview AG Sessions was asked about his intentions toward the Senate Judiciary Committee request to appoint a new special counsel to investigate FISA abuse, Christopher Steele, et al. Sessions responded that he had already appointed a DoJ investigator - someone that he's known for a long time and trust, and that is located and operating outside of Washington DC. He described this person's investigation as paralleling the OIG investigation - with the difference being that the DoJ investigator will have authority to indict and arrest (the OIG cannot). The OIG is reported (based on their January 2017 public letter) to be examining a wide range of potential malfeasance.  AG Sessions has passed that first test. Now we need to see the AG Sessions DoJ begin to bring actual indictments, arrest, and prosecutions of the Swamp rats for their myriad crimes - and use the lessor rats to go after the very big, top rats.
