Dem offers to hire McCabe to help him qualify for his pension

A Democratic lawmaker on Saturday offered to hire former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe in an effort to help McCabe qualify to receive his pension after being fired from the agency two days before he qualified to receive it.

Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) was responding to a tweet from NBC’s Andrea Mitchell, who said the former FBI official might still be able to receive his pension if he’s hired by a member of Congress.

“Andrew call me. I could use a good two-day report on the biggest crime families in Washington, D.C.,” Pocan tweeted.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe on Friday, two days before McCabe would qualify for his pension.

Sessions dismissed McCabe after an internal report found he shared unauthorized information with the media and was not completely honest with investigators during their review.

The former FBI official claimed he was fired as part of an effort to undermine special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, and that he was authorized to share the disputed information with the media at the time.
