Would it be possible to start a Go Fund Me page for McCabe?

I don't know anything about it and wondered if it could be done. I think it would be poetic justice if McCabe ended up richer than if he had kept his pension. A sort of FU to tRump.

He's only 49 years old. He gets a pension, he just has to wait a few years for it instead of getting it right now.

There are a lot of people who need help. McCabe isn't one of them.

Also, it was suggested by Andrea Mitchell that if some friendly lawmaker wanted to hire McCabe for two days, that would probably save his eligibility. One Dem Rep has already tweeted “Call me. I could use a two day report on the greatest crime family in the country.” McCabe will be fine. McCabe’s pension will be fine. The pettiness of Trump trying to screw him out of it is still frankly disgusting.

but it's ridiculous to act like McCabe's gonna starve, and to consider donating money to a rich man.

I support acts to help him keep his eligibility, but no, he’s not gonna starve and doesn’t need donations. But I do hope the pettiness and vindictiveness will spur him and others on challenge Trump and this administration.

I was just wondering. Right now I am crocheting plastic bags into sleeping mats for the homeless. It is about the only contribution I can afford and helps the environment in the process.
