If McCabe was guilty of egregious misconduct would allowing him to retire after his 50th birthday (3% at 20 at 50 folks!) not be a gross example of special treatment for law enforcement? If McCabe is innocent of these allegations then he absolutely deserves his retirement and then some.
I would just reiterate that former agents actually guilty of crimes were afforded the ability to retire with their pensions. I know there was an agent that assisted Bulger, and I am fairly certain that Hanssen, who spied on behalf of the USSR and later Russia, was granted his pension. I have no objections to there being a line that we draw and say that it disqualifies you from a pension, I do have objections for that line being arbitrary based on politics.
