Meanwhile - Terry popped into a family chat online for a while on Sunday night.

It shouldn't surprise anyone who knows his work that he was completely UNsurprised by the dismissal.

He didn't relate any inside info beyond what we've all seen in the media interviews already.

Terry is a really smart guy and knew exactly what he was doing.

I wouldn't second guess him - and here I am offering a personal impression of someone who has known him since he was born, as I am ten years older than he is - but I think (emphasize I think) - that he will appreciate the greater independence he has now reporting for Substack.
