Does McCabe have vacation time accrued?

Can he use that to get over the date that ensures his pension?

1. He already did that.

He's been using vacation since January. Sunday is his 50th birthday.

2. This won't stand. Once Trump ends up in the graybar there will have to be an effort

to correct the damage he has committed to our country.

3. If he was on an approved vacation

I’m not sure they can fire him until he returns.

5. Wouldn't he have to do some paperwork to retire too?

and he probably needs to be on the payroll to do that.

7. I work for the state and it might be different but

That paperwork was probably filled out weeks ago. Most likely when he announced his retirement.

8. Yes, he was technically still on payroll...

His retirement would have already been processed and his effective date set.

He can sue and likely keep his pension.

I think at the least, his lawyers will argue they were given insufficient time to prepare a response to the IG's report in an effort to fire him before he retired.

6. It would be like this bunch to screw up the termination

I want to see the IG report

9. Yeah all we have is conjecture until we see the IG report

My experience is that IG’s in these agencies are very professional and even handed in what they do and how they operate.

But we don’t know what the report actually says, we only have little snippets at best.

10. The McCabe firing is intended to distract the media from some incredibly important

developments like the Facebook story about Cambridge Analytica.
