#1 "He’s got about 90 days, and some of that will be holiday time. He can make it,’’

Two things - One : if it works like it does in Mass., he likely also has a shitload of unpaid sick time, which converts to cash upon retirement.

Two : I hope this guy and everyone who pushed this Trump dossier bullshit lose their pensions.

#2 This man is effectively resigning in dishonor...he can polish that turd up by calling it an early retirement, but he is still a dishonorable turd...
And if he enabled the unmasking and leaking of classified information he will be an inmate.

#4 He'll be busy pulling his defense together at his new job over at the Clinton Foundation whilst on retirement leave.

I doubt it will happen, but the first thing DoJ or the Bureau should do is yank his security clearance. I'll bet Clinton still has a clearance as well.

#5 As far as I'm aware, they are all holding current clearances. For what, I do not know.
It is still operating on it's own volition with no authorization from lead office.

It is not a normal American thing unless you have like a hoover (Ahembama) at the helm.

#9 Suspend him now without pay. BTW if you used your position and power towards a crime, you do NOT get credit towards service for that time...at least a couple years shy then, for him

#11 He will retire and immediately claim the 5th as a private citizen. And take a long vacation overseas where he will find it "inconvenient" (like Roman Polanski) to testify?
