Under current law, if he is innocent, this decision is absolute rubbish and he will be reinstated with full pension benefits. The media grandstanding, notwithstanding.
He is a federal employee, it is likely, even if he is guilty, he gets his pension. They are impossible to fire, and impossible to sanction.
But look at Mike Flynn, it was McCabe the scumbag who said F___ Flynn, and what did FLynn do, he lied to the FBI? Even FBI agent Strozk said he didn’t lie. And Sally Yates went after Flynn with the Logan Act, which has never been used in two hundred years, and Mueller threatened Flynn’s son. Well McCabe lied to the FBI as well, why isn’t he indicted?
I am sick of their hypocrisy and the two forms of justice.
You apparently do not understand the OPR section of the DOJ. He will NOT get his pension— such is the nature of his actions uncovered by the Inspector General. Actions contrary to the documents he signed under OPR and also, without question completely against the law. We cannot have policemen at this level arbitrarily doing things for political reasons, which violate law and which put our National Security at risk. The clinton server did that and much more, and these bastards knew it and considered they were above the law. He will NOT get his pension back (even while serving in prison). This is NOT civil service. This is firing for proven CAUSE— major proven cause. Good day.
