Steve Schmidt's tweets about McCabe tonight:





ANDREW MCCABE, thank you for your 21 years of faithful service to the United States of America. I hope all within reach of this tweet will donate what they can and fund this patriots deserved pension. You have to be a 7th degree stupid belt to believe this isn’t political.








This American citizen demands to know the precise evidence that led to the termination of a 21 year FBI senior leader with a reputation for probity and rectitude two days before his reaching pension eligibility. Disgraceful. This is an abuse of power and pure bananarepublicanism








Seriously, someone who is more technologically competent than me should set up a mechanism where good Americans can fund this great patriots full pension .

I hope to hell it Boomerangs!

Is there anyway you can see that McCabe would be able to get his pension?

What happens when a President up to his neck in dirty Kremlin ties declares open war on the FBI and its employees? We're about to find out.

The FBI employees are not the people you want to make enemies with. They were already pissed off at the Fucking Moron. This is twisting the knife. Only an incredibly idiotic person would do this when he is already being investigated for obstruction.

He's a lifelong Republican.

Do you realize they hate public pensions for the rest of us and have actively dismantled them?

That is McCabe's party.

It's one of the reasons Trump despises McCabe. Keep in mind Bob Mueller is also a lifelong Republican.

This man has done the job he was asked to do for a long time. I don’t care if he organizes John Birch Society catillions in his off time, he deserves a pension.

Let’s be clear. McCabe didn’t “lose” his pension. He lost eligibility for early withdrawal/benefits. He will be able to collect his pension at 57 like every other federal employee.
