1. nasty man

[djg21]

26. Hopefully

McCabe has more than a few weeks of vacation time accrued so he can tack it on to the end of his tenure and pass his anniversary date in absentia, and this qualify for his maximum pension.

2. What a disgusting thing to attempt to do

[MattP]

3. From what i understand he leaked against Hillary

[HipChick]

8. Regardless, he served his country for over 22yrs?

[greatauntoftriplets]

4. It's just four days!

herr drumpf is such a vengeful asshole.

[octoberlib]

5. Jesus Christ , this is cruel and coldhearted.

[JI7]

6. I wish that piece of worthless shit would just drop dead

So the rest of the world could party

[triron]

25. I am all with you on that.

[Eliot Rosewater]

28. This vile and horrific action by this no good fucking traitorous pile of SHIT will be

APPLAUDED by SIXTY MILLION Americans.

[GetRidOfThem]

33. No!

I want it slow and painful. I want him to see his face in a mirror, with his head shaven bald, and in his last moments I want a bunch of real babes peeing on his bald head. That's my phantasy, no easy out, but complete humiliation.

7. That screams the maggot

Sadistic twisted fock isn't he.
He gets off on this stuff.

9. I don't think that will happen. trump would like that but I don't think Sessions would even do that.

He's been showing some backbone lately against trump, and depriving a life-timer his pension at the last minute would create such an uproar neither of them would fare well in the public's eyes.

12. Sessions is between a rock & a hard place. Don't fire him, and it could give Trump a reason

to fire Sessions. Fire him & he loses his pension.

I fucking hate Trump (and Sessions, too).

[malaise]

10. Groper Don the Con

is a nasty and vindictive piece of shit.

[barbtries]

11. he'll be sued.

trump is a cruel and ugly person.

[ProfessorGAC]

13. Seems Like It

One of our lawyers can chime in, and i get the "at the pleasure of the president" thing. But, firing a guy 4 days before the prior announced retirement date sure would like retaliation and not cause, to a jury. Jurors are people too. Sheer revenge is also pretty easy to spot.

[barbtries]

20. right

i'm not a lawyer either, but 4 days before the retirement date, after 22 years?

[zipplewrath]

14. Please do

The unions and the democrats can make a field of hay out of this. An example of what the GOP is doing to the blue collar lower middle class workers. And when we get control of the congress, we can re-instate his pension as well. Bury it in just about anything the president wants, or has to sign.

[bluestarone]

15. getting to the point where it's

MAGGOT EATING MAGGOT!!!!!!

[Cha]

40. lol.. and we

be watching

[duforsure]

16. He could then pick a state Senate seat

the RepubliCONS have, and they would lose it to him. People would back him, especially now.

[malaise]

17. That would cost Sessions a couple million in court

He retired before this crap was considered. I double dare the Con.
This is fascism on steroids.

[StevieM]

18. First of all, I am not big on threatening people's pensions.

Second, that whole election was a mess, thanks to James Comey.

Third, it sounds like he did something wrong to Hillary. But this will be spun as Hillary's defender paying for his actions. Kind of like Comey was officially fired for screwing Hillary but it was seen on the right as him being fired for protecting her.

19. Isn't it the FBI who is recommending this? nt

[Demsrule86]

24. That is Trump crap ...Trump hates this guy and magically just before retirement he makes his move...

he bullied, pleaded or found a willing person to do his dirty work...but we know it is him.

[B2G]

36. I'm sure he's loving it and piling on, but

Th FBI made the recommendation.

I thought we trusted them implicitly.

[Demsrule86]

37. Who in the FBI...Trump leaned on them somehow...total bullshit.

30. The way the Republicans lie you cannot believe anything

that comes out of their mouths.

When other people point out the truth - they get fired for it.

[librechik]

21. Of course. If you cross Trump, your life is over (is what he wishes)

what a horrible menace this non-man is.

[HipChick]

22. 70% of the population are not willing to lay down

while this menace destroys the country...

[lillypaddle]

23. that would be a really shitty thing to do

McCabe's transgression doesn't warrant that type of punishment. You know that trump is pushing for it, though, and the evil elf probably wants to ingratiate himself to his hero.

[OrlandoDem1]

27. Arent there laws about being punitive?

[lark]

29. Dick heads, ass wipes, criminals, racists, grifters and russia lovers -

those are the only folks at the top of our country - horrible horrible men who are actively trying to destroy us as a liberal democracy,

[poboy2]

31. The maggot denies his own nephew healthcare (he died)to spite his brother. Sick fuck. -nt

[dlk]

32. That Would be a Potential Lawsuit

[bucolic_frolic]

34. More obstruction

[VMA131Marine]

35. It's illegal to fire a Federal employee just to deny them their retirement benefits

[Grammy23]

38. Even tRumps most ardent supporters understand how important a pension is.

The older ones clearly know about putting in your 20 or 30 years at a company so you can have a retirement party and collect on the pension you EARNED. I think even they would find it reprehensible of tRump to order a man fired four days before he is eligible to collect his pension. If this happens, ads explaining what happened and who ordered it need to be run on as many channels as will run them. Make it simple and easy to understand. tRump ordered a crappy thing be done to punish someone he did not like. He is planning to make an example of McCabe, in case anyone has any doubts about the kind of twisted man tRump is.

39. That's just asking for a lawsuit.

Retaliation?

Has there been a pattern of harassment? I understand that there is serving at the "pleasure of the President," but wouldn't "just cause" still apply here?
