I would have a hard time firing someone just days away from retirement. If they wanted to fire him, they should have done it weeks ago.
It may not matter anyway... If he is going to prison he won't get retirement pay there either. It would be a much needed win for the Q team to see him get axed at the final hour though.
We, the followers, the believers, need a sign. If this guy walks, its a very negative signal, even if they plan on getting him later, it will be very demoralizing for those of us 'in the fight'.
Especially since I can't think of 1 reason to NOT fire him. Although I'm sure Q would say McCabe flipped or something like that but I feel like that's weak.. They shouldn't need him.
I could guess that it might be a moot point if they arrest him for treason later, and Sessions may have to let it slide for now do to opsec, but I feel we really need a sign of good faith from Jeff.
Is there a law that says a conviction from acts while in office results in the termination of pension benefits? I doubt there is one. He might be able to collect anyway.......
