How can I insert a snippet on a new line with vscode?

I\'m trying to make a vscode snippet for python. Suppose I have a line of code like this:

my_var = call_some_function()

I\'d like to double

This isn't exactly what was asked for, but is close, using the $CLIPBOARD variable:

"log-clipboard": {
    "prefix": "log-clipboard",
    "body": [
        "LOGGER.debug('$CLIPBOARD: %s', $CLIPBOARD)",
        "$0"
    ],
    "description": "Log an expression from the clipboard"
}

To use:

1. Select what you want to log and hit Copy
2. Go to where you want the log it
3. Type log-clipboard and hit enter

Pretty close.
