As Twitchy told you earlier, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is getting even deeper in hot water:
DOJ watchdog sends criminal referral for McCabe to federal prosecutor – @brookefoxnews https://t.co/q6RCe49MCa

Good background on IG charges against McCabe: that he authorized a leak confirming an investigation into Clinton Foundation then misled investigators about it. https://t.co/0bgXixsiho

Objective journalism being what it is, after the Trump administration fired McCabe, NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell began offering help for ways to save McCabe’s pension:
One suggestion from a McCabe supporter: if a friendly member of Congress hired him for a week he could possibly qualify for pension benefits by extending his service the extra days

And Dems ran with it:

D’OH! These tweets are on the verge of aging VERY badly:
To Andrew McCabe: If you need a federal job, call me on Monday. I am serious. We have to stand up to bullies like @realDonaldTrump & @jeffsessions @USAGSessions #Resist #twill #AndrewMcCabeFired #standuptobullies #chicago @Comey

MARTIN: You didn't leave me time to ask you if you were serious about offering Andrew McCabe a job as you tweeted today?
GUTIERREZ: Absolutely. I'm on Judiciary. I can use him. He should call me Monday. I think what they did to him is despicable.#twill #resist #standuptobullies https://t.co/LSligRQTmX— Luis V. Gutierrez (@RepGutierrez) March 19, 2018
Would be happy to consider this. The Sixth District of MA would benefit from the wisdom and talent of such an experienced public servant. https://t.co/ynQWhdzQpC

Andrew McCabe: I have the need to hire a Special Senior Staff Attorney to help me with my work on the House Judiciary Committee dealing with threats to the Constitution and the rule of law in America. You're perfect for the job. DM me.
— Rep. Jamie Raskin (@RepRaskin) March 17, 2018
Lacking human decency is a major character flaw for @realDonaldTrump. The President is trying to send a message and derail the Mueller investigation by firing McCabe just days before his retirement. My offer stands to hire McCabe to ensure he receives his benefits.

No one should fear harm to their family, their pension, or their future – by a petulant man-child or a ruthless demagogue, depending on the mood of his day.

Keep an eye out, because there’s a good chance some tweets could magically disappear in the not-too-distant future.
I like how Representative Jamie Raskin (Democratic Party) of Maryland's 8th Congressional District wants to hire Andrew McCabe, a person more than happy to lie under oath who has just been referred for criminal prosecution. What type of people work for Representative Raskin? https://t.co/IBP1ZcoNpv
