Congressman offers fired FBI official job in bid to help him keep pension

That's one way of protesting Andrew McCabe's firing as deputy FBI director, roughly a day before he was set to retire: At least one Democratic congressman has offered McCabe a temporary job so he can get full retirement benefits - and McCabe appears to be considering.

 

Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., announced Saturday afternoon that he has offered McCabe a job to work on election security in his office, "so that he can reach the needed length of service" to retire.

 

"My offer of employment to Mr. McCabe is a legitimate offer to work on election security," Pocan said in a statement. "Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of American democracy and both Republicans and Democrats should be concerned about election integrity."

 

A spokeswoman for McCabe, Melissa Schwartz, didn't immediately rule out a job with one of the most liberal members of Congress, which might only need to last for a day or so for him to get his full retirement benefits: "We are considering all options."

 

Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., tweeted that he'd consider hiring McCabe, too.

 

It's not immediately clear if getting fired from the FBI on a Friday and going to work on Capitol Hill on a Monday would solve McCabe's problems for certain, though at least one former federal official with knowledge of retirement rules says it probably would.

 

These crooked fucks, try to find a way around everything.
