That would take an expert on administrative and federal employment law, which I am not. However, given my recollections of admin law from years ago, I doubt a new administration could change it or reinstate his pension a few years from now, because that process is meant to insulate career employee decisions from politics (ironic, I know). I believe there is an administrative appeal process available, which McCabe can pursue now. After pursuing that administrative process, he might be able to pursue a wrongful termination claim. But itâs complicated.

Theyâre thinking Hillary would have been a better choice.

Itâs possible the pension is pro-rated, and this is symbolic only. Symbolic of what a real dick Trump is.

Among who? Given that they had already painted him as a Hillary stooge based on his wife, that was already accomplished as far as the Foxbot public. For everyone else, now firing him for supposedly undermining Clinton only shows how insincere their original attack was.
Even if the DOJ can justify firing him in court, theyâve added to the pattern of petty retribution against perceived enemies that goes into the obstruction of justice file. Moreover, depriving him of his pension virtually guarantees that heâll write a tell-all book about what a shitshow Trump and Sessions made of the FBI and DOJ, because heâll need the money.
This is another in the long line of dick moves that will backfire.

Also, Jill Wine-Banks (former prosecutor in the Nixon scandal) said that the motion filed by Trumpâs lawyers to move that case to federal court is really stupid. She said to do this, they had to admit in writing that Donald Trump is, in fact, David Dennison - so they can no longer deny that Trump was involved with Daniels.

I swear, I was thinking the same thing. Thing is, donnie has no ability to understand that, between this and his firing of Comey, he has taken on the wrath of the entire FBI and more. He is so friggin stupid, this guy. A bull in a china closet.

I thought we established last night that he doesnât lose his full pension and that at this point it would just be a couple of days docked from it. To be clear, I think this is a full-on dickhead move by Sessions, but I thought that was what people were saying yesterday regarding how pensions work.

I think youâre right - but that doesnât mean that discrediting McCabeâs future testimony about the Comey firing wasnât part of Trumpâs intention in the firing.

Goddamn it! This has to end. It all has to end.
And just getting rid of Trump wonât do it. We have to get rid of all the Republicans. For a long time. And when they or a replacement party comes back, theyâd better be for America and American values. Not the bastardized version theyâve created.
Fuck these guys. Fuck âem all.
