Facing Republican attacks, FBIs deputy director plans to retire early next year
Source: Washington Post
Andrew McCabe, the FBI’s deputy director who has been the target of Republican critics for more than a year, plans to retire in a few months when he becomes fully eligible for pension benefits, according to people familiar with the matter.
McCabe spent hours in Congress this past week, facing questions behind closed doors from members of three committees. Republicans said they were dissatisfied with his answers; Democrats called it a partisan hounding.
McCabe, 49, holds a unique position in the political firestorm surrounding the FBI. He was former director James B. Comey’s right-hand man, a position that involved him in most of the FBI’s actions that vex President Trump as well as the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while secretary of state, a matter that still riles Democrats.

No sir only white folk like them there Paul Ryan, Mitch Mcconnel and the rest of them, now they got thenskves some mighty pretty jobs they stay until they dropdead at 100..but thems jobs are different they say,,cuz the people elect them, funny thing about that is they keep winning their districts even though the "others " you know them blacks and Mexican moved in years ago, curious thing though I just dont think theyd vote for guys like that so to keep their jobs in gubmint they fix the boundaries ...some fancy word like gerrymandrin.
Ryan and mcconnel have it made ...thet git that gov healthcare that they want to deny everyone even the children, and they have that nice pensioin that most of us lost during time gwbush was in office and that recession happened.
Now that Ryan ain't he somethin! He dont want any one to go to that nice college and get free schooling like did then went off and got that gubment job and he don't someone else to get social security when their pappy dies like his and his mama did,,then qualify for food stamps and Medicaid it's that free medical that he and his buddies in congress are denying this poor kids all across America ,...in my world thats just being a damn hypocritical and that don't sit right by me. Of course I'm being facetious 
@ 55 after 32 years (under CSRS-offset). My father was a fed for 20+ years before he passed away in 1974 at age 50 (we got survivors' annuity), so am very much steeped in fed government.
