    A host on FNC was saying McCabe said if he went down he'd take everybody else with him. No pension for McCabe.

    He sure as hell doesn't deserve one. Let him work for a living, for once.

    Doubtful. CNN had an article posted where they reported his pension worked out to about $60,000 a year. Supposedly some Democrat congressman is offering him a job which would allow him to meet the employment criteria to keep his pension after all.

    That sounds more reasonable, don't remember where i read that it was 2 mil, didn't seem right, but with the way shit works in the govt. these days i wouldn't have been too surprised if it were true.

    What should taxpayers pay him for 30 years of corruption?

    60k doesn't seem that extravagant for someone at his level. When i was younger, I casually looked at the fbi a few times. My conclusion was that the pay sucked

    What people are saying I don't think is 100% true. I believe the FBI is covered by the FERS retirement system which has 3 components, i.e., a basic benefit, Social Security, and an investment based benefit (Thrift Savings Plan). It seems McCabe will not get the basic benefit (1 percent for each year, i.e., 1% of the average of his top 3 earning years) but would still get Social Security and TSP. I don't know what the max pay is now in the Federal Government but it is probably around 150K and therefore the loss to McCabe would as I see it be about 30K per year -- but he still would have a retirement.

    For a FBI director or Assistant Directory the pay may suck as compared to a similar job in private industry. However for most of us 150-160 K would be big money. However, what kind of money do you think these people get when they leave Government service? When someone leaves the Government and goes to work in private industry they are often involved in business development and get a percentage of contracts awarded to their company. A percentage of multi-million dollar contracts is not Chump Change. Also, keep in mind you can retire from the FBI after 20 years.

    As a Federal inmate he will have to work and as a taxpayer I will be happy to see him compensated for prison work.

    No. His pension given a normal life span should be worth about $2 million.

    McCabe won't be hurting for money. His net worth is around $11,000,000.

    He covered for the bush and 0bama regimes as well as clinton, that has to be lucrative.

    You'll have to ask Rush Limbaugh. He mentioned this yesterday, on his radio program, when talking about McCabe.

    $11,000,000 is a lot even for the Clintons and their foundation but it's possible. Not very smart but possible.
