Duh, it would be even better if I posted the link to where the statue I referred to can be found ;-)

Depending on what he may be convicted of, there’s no time limit the way I read this.
Well, OK.
I guess that gives a few years to hang a felony on him and go after the pension by power of law.
Correct. If he committed crimes in the execution of a public trust his pension is by no means guaranteed.
It’s either going to happen in the next year, or he’s going to get away with his crimes.
Apparently a fancy lawyer will run $1000/hr if he ends up having to fight charges - we can hope.
Federal pensions were funded by higher than usual payments from the employees and were entirely solvent when the phase-out began under Reagan. Nor are they higher in payouts than many others. SS was never intended to be a pension so that is not a correct comparison.
The average federal pension six years ago was not quite $33,000 extrapolating from that it is on the order of $45,000 today in other words the same as the mean household income. The average retirement income for private sector employees was allegedly about $31,500 or around $42,000.
Those at the level of McCabe (I would estimate his would be on the order of $140-150,000 given his pay grade if he takes it as an individual w/o putting his wife on it.) There are only a few who have his pay-grade in the fed/gov. Highly placed private business men (at his pay-grade) often get much more as well as Golden Parachutes. Even if they ran the business into the ground.
He’s LEO, they can retire at 50. Some ‘pigs’ are more equal than others.
Some lib/dem hellhole entity will hire this SOB for a grossly inflated salary just to piss off the GOP. Wait and see. Betcha.
Those are only to those who have worked 20 yrs for the feds. They are reduced when taken before the age of 62.
Sound like motivational goal. Indict and convict him of a felony.
How come everyone goes to Washington D.C. and leaves a multimillionare?
Peter Schweizer was just on Hannity describing Obama's favorite corrupt scam, the 'smash and grab', e.g. University of Phoenix was told vets could not use GI Bill and stock plummets, (which I assume they shorted before the announcement), then the 'reinstate it' and then the stock goes up. Said a lot of Obama's cronies did this. They had inside knowledge as to what was going to happen next, so to speak. What a mess. . . Schweizer going to be on Hannity tonight discussing his new book, Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends.
General Flynn lies to the FBI and he faces prison, yet McCabe lies to the FBI and he was to wait a few years for his pension?
Double standard.
I don’t think Flynn lied to the FBI.
It might even be a bonus if investigators find evidence that McCabe ordered the agent, or Sroz (sp), to change the 302 notes for the Flynn interrogation. LOL.
LOCK HIM UP!!!
Being relieved of duty was a good thing.
Getting fired after the legal personnel process was complete was great news.
But when Sessions unleashes the DOJ prosecutor on him for committing crimes and he's convicted, that's when he'll be hurt the most, including financially.
Depending on the judge or jury, he could go away for quite some time.
These Fed employees have every advantage over our combat troops who must have 20 years or be medically retired. At 20 most only get 50% of base pay. Those who max out the years for their pay grade or attain higher ranks like an O-6 and 30 years get about 75%.
Pensions typically will pay something if you quit (or get fired, I guess) before you’re old enough to retire.
But the FUN PART of this is that he now is on his own for medical insurance, which may force him into OBAMACARE, unless his wife can pick him up, or he gets another job.
Speaking of another job, does ANYONE here seriously believe that he won’t be made some kind of ‘political expert’ by CNN, CBS, or one of them? After all, to the networks McCabe did an OUTSTANDING job in the fight against Fascism (i.e., Republicans winning)...even if he couldn’t hold off Trump.
I'm thinking the pay scale is more to what I meant. Yes, when people are getting excessively high pay scales, they end up with excessively high pensions.
Some people will say it is worth it to hire top quality people, but I see little evidence that we are getting "top quality people." Are we getting good value for the money we spend on these costly positions? Not so far as I can tell.
There are only a few who have his pay-grade in the fed/gov. Highly placed private business men (at his pay-grade) often get much more as well as Golden Parachutes. Even if they ran the business into the ground.
The difference is we can decide for ourselves voluntarily whether or not we want to contribute to businesses that pay insane levels of money for piss poor performance. (Like the NFL, to which I do not contribute anything) Not so with the Government.
I would agree, but he pleaded guilty to it, most likely to save his son from some monstrous false accusation the Mueller’s toilet bowl of Dem prosecutors was brewing up.
This whole investigation is bullshit.
The Dossier comes from the KGB playbook, and the DNC used the FBI like a political goon squad to crush its political opposition. This was a coup d’etat. An attack on our democracy, our Constitution, the office of the President and the nation itself. This Russian-trump accusation was a lie, a hoax, a sham, a bamboozling, a con job, a Stalinist show trial to destroy a man who was rightfully elected to the office.
I gave Mueller too much credit. His going after these old and silly financial crimes and his ridiculous “Conspiracy against the United States” charge only serves to muddy his career, and desecrate his Bronze Star that he was awarded for military service in the Vietnam War. He must face the fact publicly that Trump was elected legally, and he knows it, and even Strozk the schemer admitted it in his tweets. But if Mueller does have evidence of conspiracy to commit espionage with the Russians that it is time to show his cards, and stop with all this other crap that embarrasses his office and screams to the world he really has absolutely nothing.
