Bigly.

I suppose McCabe just can’t wait to start writing his book. Hopefully, he’ll be doing it from the confines of a prison cell.

Andrew McCabe Steps Down at F.B.I. in Widely Expected Move
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/29/us/politics/andrew-mccabe-fbi.html

WASHINGTON — Andrew G. McCabe has stepped down as the F.B.I.’s
deputy director, a move that was widely expected as he has repeatedly
come under fire from Republicans in Congress and from President Trump.

Mr. McCabe made his intentions known to colleagues on Monday, an
American official said. He will immediately go on leave and plans
to retire when he becomes eligible in mid-March.

One of the worst I ever heard of was a company back home that had decided to pull the plug on a major project. This was highly confidential until the ax dropped. On the day appointed, the project staff were all transported to an off-site meeting, where nice things were said and then they were all fired ... nothing personal, you understand, and we'll give you a package and good references, but this is over. As of now.

The employees were not permitted to return to the office. Personal items were boxed up and delivered, and any necessary discussions with HR took place elsewhere.

I understand that companies need to be concerned about distraught and perhaps vengeful employees. In this day and age, I can certainly understand taking down computer access on the company system without notice; in theory it only takes a few seconds to download X or erase Y. But there are decent and indecent ways of doing things. Most managers aren't jerks, but there are enough jerks around to generate no end of stories.

$500k? Open sides tents and slit trench toilets. And that’s for the women. The men get a blanket.

Enough with the Gitmo crap already. No US citizen guilty of white collar crime’s going to Gitmo.

[jjotto]

Blasphemer! You’re undermining a whole FR religion!

[piasa]

LOL! Religion? I guess it is. I Was just looking at another thread where a Momma’s basement dweller was lovingly describing McCabe being executed by hanging.

Talk about high expectations...

Hopefully, they all will be in Gitmo.
