Serves him right! He was more concerned with his pension than he was about doing his job, following the law or safeguarding his country.

Maybe Sessions isn't asleep at his desk after all.
Interesting . Someone is playing hardball. If he loses his pension as a result that is a big FU to the gang that has been conspiring against trump. Hope it is the first sign trump is going to play hardball against these assholes.

A traitor to the constitution he swore to protect and in his statement he talks about his years of service to this country. Sounds like self-service to me. Jackson was right, "Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels."

Now he's saying he held on to memos documenting his conversations with the president. One more on the list of people mishandling classified materials.

I don't see why this matters. So he wrote some memos. Big deal. He is a proven liar. Why would anyone believe his written lies?

No, Andrew McCabe Isn’t “Losing His Pension”
Mar 17, 2018
The reports that are flying across the news, Twitter, and Facebook are that McCabe was just two days short of retirement and that this move by Sessions will, as, for instance, Vox, reports, “cost him his federal pension.”
[…]
Which all gives the impression of a veteran, elderly federal official being cheated out of his pension accruals due to a vindictive Trump administration. But this didn’t pass the sniff test. Pensions — public as well as private — are required to meet certain vesting requirements, and, in fact, the FERS (Federal Employees Retirement System) benefits vest at 5 years, meaning that benefit accruals cannot be taken away.
In fact, McCabe is all of 49 years old, likely 50 by the time readers see this, and what he lost out on was, as CNN much more calmly recounts, the ability to take his benefits at age 50, rather than somewhere between age 57 and age 62, and he lost his eligibility to a special top-up in benefit formula. These are, admittedly, tangible financial losses, but it is grossly misleading that various news outlets are giving the general public the impression that he has lost his pension entirely.
[…]
UPDATE: On Saturday evening, the Washington Post reported that
Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) announced Saturday afternoon that he has offered McCabe a job to work on election security in his office, “so that he can reach the needed length of service” to retire.
According to the Post’s experts, McCabe “would need to just go to work with the federal government for another day or so in any job he pleases,” although “it would probably look more ethical if McCabe worked for at least a pay period rather than just one day.” And, due to the nature of federal pensions and their portability from one position to another, this sounds credible — though at the same time, well, I’m from Illinois, a state with a long list of examples of pension spiking, ghost employees, and other ways that public officials have manipulated public pensions, so it doesn’t sit right with me.
