That revelation proves something BIG about Trump's presidency. What is it? That depends on how you feel about him.

If you are a Trump supporter, this news from McCabe is confirmation of a "deep state" network in place at the Justice Department -- a group of senior officials embedded in the top ranks of the federal bureaucracy that views itself as all-powerful, able to deploy the resources of the government to accomplish its goals even if those goals subvert the will of the people.

Trump himself seized on that idea in the wake of the McCabe news. He tweeted this Thursday morning:

"Disgraced FBI Acting Director Andrew McCabe pretends to be a 'poor little Angel' when in fact he was a big part of the Crooked Hillary Scandal & the Russia Hoax - a puppet for Leakin' James Comey. I.G. report on McCabe was devastating. Part of 'insurance policy' in case I won. Many of the top FBI brass were fired, forced to leave, or left.
