@repmarkpocan

Andrew call me. I could use a good two-day report on the biggest crime families in Washington, D.C.

Wouldn't McCabe be vested in FERS or something like that? I am wondering if the age 50 has some impact on retirement pay.

Interesting!

This implies that he was either naive or brash.

How paternalistic of you, Comrade. Shouldn't a wife be able to pursue whatever career she wants? Similarly, shouldn't she be allowed to have whatever political beliefs she wishes to have?

He a life long registered Republican IIRC. Accused of leaking intel on HRC and lying to investigators in a nut shell. We are only hearing one side of this story from the very group who have a strong history of untruths along with out and out fabrications.

I feel this will be going to a court for wrongful termination or whistle blower and let the chip fall where they will.

Retribution for his wife's political activity? How does this pass any test of ethical practice?
It does not.
Just more viciousness from a petty vindictive tyrant.

How dare he be married to a Democrat?

He was not a political appointee, he's a career civil servant.

And it used to be that Democrats and Republicans were willing to breathe the same air. No more?

It implies nothing of the sort. You must be listening to too much right wing nut job radio. Sheesh.

Still the Donny supporter, after all his obvious attempts at demagoguery. Jeez you’re an ignorant bastard.
