I'm not sure how it works in the gov, but even if one is fired for cause in the private sector, vested pensions are untouchable and will be awarded to the retiree. If he violated a law and is going to be tried, that's an issue. But I'll bet this is purely symbolic. Let's wait and see if he goes to trial. I have a bunch of nickels to anyone's doughnut holes about how it will end up.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
