Hours before he was scheduled to retire in 2018, Andrew G. McCabe, then the F.B.I.’s deputy director, was fired by the Justice Department, depriving him of his pension and prompting cheers from President Donald J. Trump, who had been hounding him over his role in the Russia investigation.
On Thursday, the department reversed Mr. McCabe’s firing, settling a lawsuit he filed asserting that he was dismissed for political reasons. Under the settlement, Mr. McCabe, 53, will be able to officially retire, receive his pension and other benefits, and get about $200,000 in missed pension payments.
In addition, the department agreed to expunge any mention of his firing from F.B.I. personnel records. The agreement even made clear that he would receive the cuff links given to senior executives and a plaque with his mounted F.B.I. credentials and badge.
The Justice Department did not admit any wrongdoing. But the settlement amounted to a rejection by the Biden administration of how Mr. McCabe’s case had been handled under Mr. Trump, who perceived Mr. McCabe as one of his so-called deep-state enemies and repeatedly attacked him. A notice of the lawsuit’s dismissal was also filed in federal court.
*** Mr. McCabe thanked his lawyers at the firm of Arnold & Porter, who will receive more than $500,000 in legal fees paid by the government.
*** Jeff Sessions, the attorney general at the time, fired Mr. McCabe on March 16, 2018, after the department’s inspector general said Mr. McCabe had lied repeatedly about a leak to a newspaper about Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server. The case was referred to prosecutors, who ultimately decided not to charge Mr. McCabe with making false statements to a law enforcement officer.

justice!

Deep State takes care of their own.
None of it matters, does it? None of it. Not the Constitution. Not the US Code. No laws matter. We’re a nation of men now. This is unconscionable to me.
Look at these Deep State goons.
I would love to see McCabe indicted and go to prison but my utmost hope from John Durham is a long shot.
That was before. Now, this is a joke.
I no longer hold such hope from Durham. But I hope that he at least nails Marc Elias from the Hillary-DNC launder legal operation. He was also behind the efforts that led to the massive mail-in fraudulent output by seeing removed standards and basis election integrity.
The bastard deserves NOTHING.
See the problem??
Thanks Bill Barr. Remember, Marco Rubio wanted him to keep his pension?
You don’t prosecute and convict Beltway thugs they will end up running the institutions that come after us. Good luck at your next PTA meeting.
Sessions should have been fired as soon as he recused himself from the Russian hoax investigation.
This is a pointed reminder that the nation has fallen to the Federal agencies. It will never return to normal and they will make sure every one who opposed them pays. I promise I know how they think. If you only knew....

I got fired (BS) after 32 years of service but got my pensions.
to bad they bled them dry while I was employed
I smell Hillary depositions coming up soon. This was insurance as the FIB’s like to call it. Washington is a rancid pile of fat that needs rendering.
Retire at 53? A pension?!
And do it while being a lawbreaker...
who wants rancid fat? we want fresh meat.
He was fired for being a crook so the fbi gives back his pension.
Job well done 🤪
nope! fired for not getting a vax, you get nothing, no unemployment, nothing, fired for treason, here are all of your goodies back! rotten to the core
“Burn it all down” should be heard on every corner.
