Andy McCabe: Poster boy for victimhood mentality
wnd.com ^ | 3/19/2018 | Elizabeth Lee Vliet

After being fired by Attorney General Sessions on March 16, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe claimed: “This attack on my credibility is one part of a larger effort not just to slander me personally, but to taint the FBI, law enforcement, and intelligence professionals more generally.”

The Washington Post quoted McCabe saying: “The big picture is a tale of what can happen when law enforcement is politicized, public servants are attacked, and people who are supposed to cherish and protect our institutions become instruments for damaging those institutions and people.” Though blaming Trump, in reality, McCabe is describing his own behavior at the FBI.

The view through the lens of McCabe’s victimhood mentality is quite different from reality. His own FBI Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) concluded that he had lied to internal investigators, a recognized firing offense, and recommended to the attorney general that McCabe be fired. Does McCabe think that the FBI code of conduct does not apply to him?

McCabe’s loss of his taxpayer-paid pension is a consequence of his own choices and actions. Even so, he has already reaped a hefty return on his “investment” of 20 years working for the government. Although only 50 years old, he has amassed a net worth of a reported $11 million on a government salary of roughly $180,000.

Not sure he will actually "lose" his pension. Still, pretty good money management huh? Now he can start his own mercenary business.

When the USSR collapsed, the Russian Mafia rose. In reality, though, it had been there all along in the form of the KGB. They ran the underground economy and the collapse of the Soviet system let them go full free-market.

So an FBI guy amassing a net worth of $11 million is not surprising. It’s just how these guys roll, regardless of what country they’re in.

The real big picture is what can happen when our political class decides to change the Constitution without amendment.

The Kenyanesian Usurpation is at the root of all of this evil.

Barack Obama is NOT a natural born citizen.

Yep, proggie projection on display.

“Everybody does what we do, right? Everybody else is as greedy and political as us, not giving a crap about citizens, right?”

Of course, there is the magic of compound interest, and some good stock picking can really help increase networth, but I'll just point out the math:

If his salary were 180,000 from the day he was hired, and if he worked for 61 years, and if he saved absolutely every penny he ever earned, then he'd have almost 11 million dollars.

But, of course, none of that happened. So the money came from God knows where.

The ONLY people that little sh*t McCabe ‘protected’ were white liberal elites and their pets (theoretical black “victims”) used as an excuse to rip off the system)...

There’s always Bitcoin! And don’t forget cattle futures. I’ve heard savvy investors can make a LOT of money on cattle futures. Moo!

Or if you’re suckerburg, just by coincidence, sell off a bunch of your stock just before it takes a “surprising” drop the Monday after you sell. Who knew? Gotta keep that philanthropy funded.

people who are supposed to cherish and protect our institutions

Should I read the word establishment into the word institutions? Or would the word swamp be a better understanding of the usage?
