That’s not actually the legal standard. What you’re describing is a post hoc rationalization.
No that is what you are doing. He broke rules and got fired for it. You are justifying what he did because you think he was justified because you hate trump. That is a post hoc rationalization.
This exactly. Thank you.

I don't know that there's a place for this but I just wanted to say it: Andrew McCabe is SO hot.

No, what he really got fired for was investigating Trump.

His firing was improper, didn't follow procedure. He is also asserting that it was also wrongful, illegal.

No idea about here, but it could be, in some contexts.
Like, if you are running for, and become President?

Actually, that was his job as media liason.
He retired and had his pension improperly taken from him. Wrongfully and not by the proper procedure.
You are kidding right. A Deputy director of the FBI is not a media liaison and leaking memos is not how media liaisons actually work. And pause a moment. He had not retired yet. He had not yet achieved 20 years of service. Those things didn’t happen because he got fired for dishonesty and leaking memos. Seems like maybe he was counting chickens before they hatched AND shitting where he eats. Most people have learned those lessons much earlier.
This was the "leaked memos":

Yes, authorizing meetings with reporters was his job.

Highly unlikely, but keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better.

At what point did McCabe become a political appointee? McCabe says in the lawsuit that Wray wouldn't tell him why he was demoted from the job. He says "Wray and Sessions had agreed not to discuss the specific reason" with him. Sounds fishy.
