# McCabe Bailout: Dozens GoFundMe Campaigns Launched; Dem Congressman Offers Job For Full Pension

Despite being fired for lying under oath and leaking to the press in a manner that "lacked candor," former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe has received an outpouring of support from the left. In addition to Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI) offering him a temporary job so he can receive his full retirement benefits, dozens of people have set up GoFundMe accounts, which have already raised tens of thousands of dollars.

Some have expressed surprise that the same people who have long railed against "the man" are so overwrought that an FBI Official - who was found corrupt in an IG investigation demanded by Democrats that and that was directed by an Obama IG appointee - was fired by an administration they don't like, that they've put the closest thing to "Agent Smith" on a pedestal and are now giving him money.

So far 39 GoFundMe donation campaigns have been set up for the former Deputy Director who's now left with a reduced pension.

> Seriously, 39 people are starting a gofundme acct for Andrew McCabe...how funny.😂🤣 pic.twitter.com/0Ctvku6fIe

> — DocG👍😎👌BasedAlpha (@GLBarricelli2) March 17, 2018

Chicago resident "Ethan," for example, who describes himself as a "volunteer" set up a campaign for $75,000 despite not knowing much about McCabe's pension.

"If President Trump and AG Sessions fire Andrew McCabe before he retires, it will be an insult to every civil servant in the country," Ethan writes. "I have no idea if this is even close to what Mr. McCabe's pension would be, but we need to start somewhere and show our support!"

So far Ethan the campaign has taken in $1,961 of its $75,000 goal.

Meanwhile, McCabe isn't "losing his pension." While the Friday termination will impact him financially to some degree, the most significant impact is that he doesn't get to start taking it for another seven years, and he will likely lose his lifetime medical benefits for he and his wife.

> Considering McCabe's number of years at the agency and estimations of his high-level pay grade, formulas published by the US Office of Personnel Management for law enforcement officers show that his yearly payout could hit in the area of $60,000 each year, if McCabe were to retire after his birthday on Sunday.

> If he were to be fired before Sunday, it appears likely McCabe could be docked his pension until he hits another, later age milestone.

> Experts disagree -- and caution that predicting payouts is complicated given the complex federal system and each individual's personal career particularities -- but, per federal rules, McCabe may not be able to draw an annuity until a date ranging just shy of his 57th birthday, and as late as his 62nd. That could put the value of his uncollected pension in the realm of a half-million dollars. -CNN

Furthermore, McCabe can earn his full pension if he's employed in any federal position for just another day or so.

> One suggestion from a McCabe supporter: if a friendly member of Congress hired him for a week he could possibly qualify for pension benefits by extending his service the extra days

> — Andrea Mitchell (@mitchellreports) March 17, 2018

> Would be happy to consider this. The Sixth District of MA would benefit from the wisdom and talent of such an experienced public servant. https://t.co/ynQWhdzQpC

> — Seth Moulton (@sethmoulton) March 17, 2018

> With those 20 years, he would need to just go to work with the federal government for another day or so in any job he pleases, whether that's as a election security analyst for a Wisconsin congressman or a typist for a day, to get full benefits, said the former official who spoke to The Fix. The job doesn't matter so much as the fact that he's working within the federal government with the same retirement benefits until or after his 50th birthday. (Though this former official stressed that it would probably look more ethical if McCabe worked for at least a pay period rather than just one day.) -WaPo

Ironically, nobody knows just yet the full extent of McCabe's malfeasance which the DOJ's Inspector General and Office of Professional Responsibility recommended firing him over. Once the full OIG report is published, those offering McCabe jobs may need GoFundMe campaigns of their own.

They are still assuming they will prevail, get rid of Trump, take back control at mid-terms.

Hoping that the Trump base is listening ????????

The vote rigging works for them in average / low turnout scenarios as they designed it to. There are many forces at work:

Oligachy control of MSM

Letting immigrants in and giving them assistance no questions asked.

Destroying traditional education.

Monopolistic practices ignoring anti-trust.

Letting corporations engage in offshoring without any financial penalties.

The list goes on and on.

McCabe Bailout: Dozens GoFundMe Campaigns Launched; Dem Congressman Offers Job For Full Pension

My response: As an American citizen, the level of corruption inside the FBI and congress really ANGERS ME. The HUBRIS of these people know no bounds.

They are not entitled to SHIT!!!!! They have committed treasonous felony crimes and, with malicious intent, tried to undermine both the 2016 POTUS election and the sovereignty of the USA!! They have committed sedition beyond any reasonable doubt which, along with treason, carries the DEATH PENALTY.

The only solution I can see is to do a RODEO ROUNDUP and ship these career criminals to GITMO where their cases will adjudicated by a military tribunal where there will NOT BE any LEGAL BULLSHIT from a CORRUPT PROGRESSIVE LIBERAL AMERICAN JUDICIAL SYSTEM.

Going forward, WE THE PEOPLE need to VOTE OUT OF OFFICE every single DEMOCRAT and RINO in the upcoming 2018 midterm elections.

Sad what some are trying to turn America into. If the Left thinks Communism is any great picnic, I'd invite them to visit Romania. There are plenty who remember what a bastard Ceaucescu was. My own family has firsthand experience with the "Joy of Living on 'Animal Farm'".

I'm not opposed to viewpoints different from my own, if the person giving the opinion knows what the hell they're talking about. The Left's younger supporters, are simply ignorant of history, facts, and common sense...instead relying on the bias of Leftist "educators", and the presumption that they're accurately portraying "the benefits of Communism".

Note to the rest of you:

Reading my post above, I will also add this:

My father's side has routes in this country, stretching back as far as 1626. His family served in almost every war this country was ever involved in, up to Vietnam. I am pro-2A, pro-Common Sense, and fully intend to willfully disobey any attempt to disarm American citizens. Old family stories abound, about "what happened after the Party took over, and the public was helpless against it"...and I can truthfully state that when the question comes down to "Do we fight for the values we hold dear, or blindly obey?", you have nothing to lose by fighting.

@ Dilly:

Agreed - and I firmly believe that some of them will come to their senses, in a collapse scenario, simply as a matter of survival.

That Mike Rowe piece the other day, about how people don't value hard work anymore, was absolutely right, and a lot of these "Leftist Cheerleaders" in colleges today, hold their opinions partly for the fact that they've never actually experienced ANY kind of real hardship.

If suddenly "thrown into the deep end of the pool", many of them will have to work hard just to survive, which will inevitably cause many to question their preconceived notions about "All animals are equal...".

Varlam Shalamov's books "Graphite", and "Kolyma Tales" have several short stories about Party people, who invariably dealt with internal struggles, as pro-Communists who suddenly fell from grace, and ended-up working to death in the Gulag.

Reminds me of a riddle once told just prior to an outburst of "cleansing": "Out of the strong came something sweet, out of the eater came something to eat".

These clowns in DC, NY and state / court houses across the land with all their hubris on both sides of the aisle are playing with fire.

Thanks Obama. Your fanciful dreams of some inclusive socialist society that you imagined/created in your meandering dope smoking days has left our nation, splintered, irresponsible, and incapable of collective resolve which weakens our security. You couldn’t change the system, our system, so you chose to damage it, damage us, harm us, poison the system prior to your exit.

It is harder to come up with that hush money since Trump's executive order froze all their illicit assets. Now a Congressman is trying to offer him a job as a capital hill janitor to finish out the last day, so the taxpayers can pay the hush money. I guess this is why McCabe is screaming to everyone who will listen that he'll take everyone else down with him.

What about Gen. Michael Flynn who could lose his home defending himself? Could someone please help him out?

In Wisconsin the big story this morning is about public officials wanting "action on Russian trolls' meddling" and stoking racial division in the Milwaukee unrest around BLM. If russian trolls are medling in BLM events and elections, who's to say it's the equivalent of a government sponsored attack?

If I personally meddle in other countries affairs by creating 1000 bots to make it look like my opinion is worth 100,000 comments, am I representing my country in that then because it came from within U.S. Borders?

Why is everyone willing to sanction Russia over events that are probably just Soros looking like a russian bot? ???
