A crowdfunding campaign to cover legal costs for Andrew McCabe, the former FBI deputy director fired two days before he planned to retire and obtain a full pension, was approaching half a million dollars Friday, almost double its $250,000 goal.

Keep track of all the contributors, so they can be prosecuted later for supporting his crimes after the fact.
