Walter Shaub on Mr. McCabe:


?s=20


Under circumstances suggesting a partisan vendetta, the AG strips an FBI leader of a big chunk of his pension based on an allegation that he may have done what Sarah Sanders does everyday at work, while Gen. Flynn keeps his pension after admitting to committing crimes in office.

The W House wouldn't know what ethics are if it hit them over their heads.

McCabe wrote that he began his career investigating Russian organized crime...coincidence? NO!

a worker that works many years and has a pension when retired is American way. Take that a day or days or even hours away from that worker send a chilling negative message to many Americans. Speaking for myself, this shit is gonna backfire 24/7.

pain on Americans, even if it's directed back at them--hurts them directly; such as in tax increases, cuts to medicaid/ healthcare.

However, one would expect GOP leadership would vehemently reject such action on civil service pensions, after all they're career politians who will eventually rely on retirement; after all not every congress person is a millionaire.

Yet, they're complicit on McCabe; twenty or so women who have accused trumpf of sexual assault; 130K bribe to silence Stormy Daniels days before election; trump's ever expanding criminality, corruption in russiagate--nothing, nada--only silence. Why? Just what are they waiting for, they seem paralyzed? One has to wonder, just what trumpf/putin has on mcconnel, ryan, sessions.
