Facing Republican Attacks, FBI’s Deputy Director Plans to Retire Early Next Year (McCabe)
The Washington Post ^ | Saturday, December 23, 2017 | Devlin Barrett and Karoun Demirjian

Andrew McCabe, the FBI’s deputy director who has been the target of Republican critics for more than a year, plans to retire in a few months when he becomes fully eligible for pension benefits, according to people familiar with the matter.

McCabe spent hours in Congress this past week, facing questions behind closed doors from members of three committees. Republicans said they were dissatisfied with his answers; Democrats called it a partisan hounding.

McCabe, 49, holds a unique position in the political firestorm surrounding the FBI. He was former director James B. Comey’s right-hand man, a position that involved him in most of the FBI’s actions that vex President Trump as well as the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while secretary of state, a matter that still riles Democrats.

I know the Montgomery County (MD) fire department allows retirement with pension at 50, or at least they used to. But that’s understandable. You have to be strong and fit for that job, and I can tell you from personal experience, at 50, certain things are starting to wear out.

I’m sure Elijah Cummings (Schizo-MD) know something about partisan houndings.

McCabe isn’t leaving until after the first. Franken isn’t leaving until after the first. McCain also refusing to leave and there was talk of wheeling him in on a hospital stretcher for the tax bill vote. What’s going on that government employees are hanging on until after the first of the new year? Do they get extra perks?

How disgusting. Waiting until he is fully eligible for all retirement benefits. Sounds like another Lois Lerner! The BASTARD! He should be fired and denied pension benefits. He’s a crook.

Maybe they can get vacation pay for 2018 if they retire after the first. That could be a sizeable chunk off money.

Hmm, “regular” retiring or pressured retiring, I wonder.

For all practical purposes, that head line should read

FACING MULTIPLE SUBPOENAS, McCabe plans to retire.

Didn’t Rostenkowski get ALL his retirement even though he went from Congress to Prisoner?
Also Haskert?

If someone retires from the Military and gets s few felonies thrown at him etc doesn’t he lose his pension?

Won’t all those Admirals implicated with “Fat Man’ end up just throwing his 30 years away???

He would be eligible for an “early out” reduced annuity at age 50 w/20 years service, or w/25 years at any age.

Ain’t it odd that a reasonable person can usually guess that a hit piece is being spewed from one of a handful of enemedia outlets without even clicking on the thread, merely by the way the headline is worded ? !
