On Thursday reports noted that fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe confirmed in his new book and in an interview with “60 Minutes†some legitimate bombshells worthy of serious scrutiny.
According to excerpts of an upcoming “60 Minutes†interview, McCabe said he ordered the ‘obstruction of justice’ probe into POTUS Donald Trump, allegedly because he was “concerned†about ‘Russian collusion.’
Not only that, but he also admitted that he was involved in “discussions†with the Justice Department to “remove†our duly-elected president under terms outlined in the 25th Amendment after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey over his pathetic handling of the Hillary Clinton classified email probe.
That’s not all.
You may recall last year, someone leaked details to The New York Times of a plot discussed by McCabe, current Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and others to send Rosenstein into POTUS’ office wearing a “wire,†with the objective being to record the president saying something outlandish or outrageous so the DoJ could go to Trump’s Cabinet and convince a majority of them to deem him mentally unfit to hold office, thus facilitating his removal.
As it turns out, according to McCabe’s new book, that story was true — though, of course, Rosenstein and the Justice Department are blowing it off as a phony.
“There were meetings at the Justice Department at which it was discussed whether the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet could be brought together to remove the president of the United States under the 25th Amendment,†CBS News correspondent Scott Pelley said Thursday on the network. Pelley interviewed McCabe for the “60 Minutes†segment.
As bad as this is — and it is bad because what McCabe was involved in sure looks an awful lot like he was involved in a coup attempt — it’s even worse than that, according to investigative journalist Adam Housley.
In a series of tweets Thursday following McCabe’s 60 Minutes revelations, he explained that this culture of sedition runs much deeper within the bowels of the FBI and Justice Department than the vast majority of Americans realize.
“As everyone on my feed debates the McCabe interview. One reminder. I reported the FBI internal issues began well before Trump ran and McCabe had issues with agents who didn’t play his game. Not defending Trump, just saying there’s a ton more to this story,†he began.
