McCabe fired from the FBI days before retirement, Trump gleeful.
I am getting this right that he was fired, while he was on leave of duty and days before retirement?
Yeah, this is corruption at work. In any normal field, this would be an employment crime. A court would call this "bad faith".
Yeah, I would expect someone to bring this back up under employment law.
I expect that someone will. It's obvious that this was just an attempt not to pay him and nothing more.

Oh it was much more than that. That was just the icing.

US Courts Strike Down Obama Era Anti-Robocall Rule, but this might be a good one as smart phones were considered robodialers under all conditions, which is pretty silly.

Police claim that six coeds beating an eighteen year old Egytptian girl to death in Nottingham is "not hate related?" Apparently it's just friendly gang violence like normal?

Attaching the "hate" moniker to violence has been a bad idea from the word go. To imply that one motivation for deliberately killing someone is worse than another is an underlying reason why our justice system is messed up. There is a reason that Lady Justice is depicted as blindfolded. The law was intended to assign guilt based on the crime, not on the status of the harmed or harm-er. When we attach the "hate" flag to a crime we also get the opposite end of judgments like Brock Turner. Murder should be wrong and the punishment applied evenhandedly regardless.

Murder is bad when not licensed. We get it. But “hate” crimes have been legally redefined to mean a specific type of motivation. You don’t have to like it, but it is the law.
