Tim Walz offers a McCabe a job

I have to give Walz points for this

https://shareblue.com/tim-walz-andrew-mccabe/


Democratic Rep. Tim Walz, the highest-ranking enlisted soldier to serve in Congress, offered fired FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe a temporary job so McCabe could keep his pension.

The Trump administration fired FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe late Friday, two days before he was set to retire. That craven move put McCabe’s pension in jeopardy. But Minnesota Democratic Rep. Tim Walz quickly stepped up to protect it. Democratic Rep.

This reckless attitude towards Americans’ lives and careers is exactly why this man should not be President. Mr. McCabe, if you need a federal job for a few days, give me a call. We value servant leadership around here.

and my computer all of last night and this morning saying "I can't believe anyone is that mean & rotten to deliberately fire someone less than a day from getting his pension after over 20 years of good service, but then I've never known anyone like the Satan Conman either.

I HOPE Mueller finds enough on the Conman to literally to ship him off to a 6' x 9" with a metal bed and 1/2" mattress! That's all he deserves.

.... Congress could really make a big statement if more (from both sides of the isle) offered McCabe a Federal job where he could continue to collect his benefits. It could be an "I am Spartacus" moment.

Wouldn't it be great if there was that kind of bi-partisan support for (not) screwing someone out of their pension?

Oh, that's right, Republicans seem to enjoy screwing people out of their pensions. That could be a problem, kind of like how they vote to give themselves raises but won't raise the minimum wage.

Assholes.

Pocan Extends Job Offer to Andrew McCabe
Mar 17, 2018 Press Release

WASHINGTON, DC (March 17, 2018) – U.S. Representative Mark Pocan (WI-02) today extended an offer of employment to Andrew McCabe, the former Deputy Director of the FBI, so that he can reach the needed length of service after President Trump fired him just days before he was set to retire.


Perhaps every Dem Rep in the USA will make this offer before all is said and done, d!!
