It's been a pretty strange year for politics. It's even stranger now that major political figures are crowdfunding their legal fees.。
A GoFundMe stetup by "Friends of Andrew McCabe" launched Thursday to pay for the former FBI deputy director's legal defense fund.。

As of the time of writing, it had raised $252,892 in just six short hours. People have been donating so quickly that the campaign increased its goal to $250,000 after it met its original $150,000 goal in less than four hours. 。
A majority of the donations are relatively small, ranging from $10-100.。

McCabe was fired by Attorney General Jeff Sessions two weeks ago, only 26 hours before retiring. McCabe's pension benefits are in question, since he was a day shy from its cut off requirement. However, funds raised from the GoFundMe will not go to benefit his retirement. 。
"No funds raised for the Andrew McCabe Legal Defense Fund will be used for anything beyond his defense of the allegations against him," according to the crowdfunding page. Any leftover funds will be donated to charity.。
The GoFundMe also states that McCabe will "continue to fight for the pension and benefits he deserves, rather than accept any crowdfunding for that purpose."。
The funds will also likely be used for representation in congressional inquiries. McCabe and his legal team haven't announced plans to sue for wrongful termination, but the GoFundMe notes "any potential lawsuits he might consider."。
