The attempted coup is still going on!
Call it what it is: Andrew McCabe plotted a coup to overturn results of the election
Fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s book tour began with a “60 minutes†interview this week in which he confirmed that he commenced an effort to remove President Trump from office, citing his concerns with the president’s supposed ties to Russia, for which no evidence has ever surfaced.
Citing several thoroughly debunked Russian collusion narratives, McCabe, under the impression that President Trump was somehow compromised as commander in chief, attempted to gather votes inside the administration to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove the president from office.
In a “60 minutes†preview clip, McCabe forwarded the baseless conspiracy theory that President Trump won the election with the assistance of the Kremlin.
“I was speaking to the man who had just run for the presidency and won the election for the presidency. And who might have done so with the aid of the government of Russia, our most formidable adversary on the world stage,†McCabe said during the interview. “And that was something that troubled me greatly.â€..............
.............Putting aside that Russia is not “our most formidable adversary†(it’s China, by a mile), to date, not a single piece of evidence has emerged that the “Russia case†was anything but a complete hoax based on opposition research sourced to anonymous Russians that was paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign.............
................Unfortunately for McCabe, there was no “solid ground†to be found. The Russia investigation came up entirely empty, and the FBI bureaucrats’ leak-and-smear campaigns were not enough to oust the duly elected president through other means..........

CBS: Andrew McCabe Says Discussions About Wiretapping Trump, Removing Him Were Serious
CNS News, Feb 14, 2019, Susan Jones
Conversations about Rod Rosenstein wearing a wire to secretly tape the president of the United States came up more than once and were serious, former Acting Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe told CBS's Scott Pelley.
McCabe, sitting for a "60 Minutes" interview, told Pelley that he and other officials also discussed invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Donald Trump from office.
Pelley appeared on the CBS "This Morning" news set Thursday to describe the "most illuminating and surprising thing" to emerge from his interview with McCabe:
According to Pelley:
"There were meetings at the Justice Department in 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.
"These were the eight days (in May) from Comey's firing to the point that Robert Mueller was appointed special counsel, and the highest levels of American law enforcement were trying to figure out what to do with the president."
Norah O'Donnell, host of the CBS morning show, asked Pelley, "So McCabe is saying that (the 25th Amendment) was discussed?"
"Absolutely," Pelley responded. "McCabe, Norah, you point out, was the very first person involved in these meetings who has come out and spoken publicly."
O'Donnell asked Pelley, "But there was a discussion underway about removing the president of the United States?"
"They were counting noses," Pelley said. "They were not asking Cabinet members whether they would vote for or against removing the president. But they were speculating, this person would be with us; that person would not be; and they were counting noses in that effort."
"And this was not perceived to be a joke," Pelley continued. "It was also said at a previous time that the Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein, offered to wear a wire into the White House to record potentially incriminating conversations with the president.
"A statement was released after that, that that was never serious -- it was sarcastic, et cetera. McCabe, in our interview, says no. It came up more than once and it was so serious that he took it to the lawyers at the FBI to discuss it."

Exactly. I have asked this again and again, and I can come up with no positive scenario; "Why did Trump appoint Rosenstein in the first place?"

Straight up treason and sedition. It's not even close to the FBI's paygrade to get involved in these things.
This little cabal needs to go down, hard.

Ah, but Rosenstein has connections with the Clintons, so I don't see that happening.
During the Clinton Administration, Rosenstein served as Counsel to Deputy Attorney General Philip B. Heymann (1993–1994) and Special Assistant to Criminal Division Assistant Attorney General Jo Ann Harris (1994–1995). Rosenstein then worked in the United States Office of the Independent Counsel under Ken Starr on the Whitewater investigation into President Bill Clinton.

Nixon-Watergate:
AG Mitchell did prison time. So did Halderman, Erlichman, Dean, Colson and others.
Since we know the FISA dossier was a fraud, the DOJ's and FBI's rightful jobs were to determine who was meddling in our elections, NOT to frame up the President.

Using the 25th Amendment is unconstitutional?
Rod should be thanking Trump too. It's tough staying at the top of the 24 hour news cycle with an erratic President like Trump. He'll steal your press with the next wacked out tweet or National Emergency. Trump has had 4 tweets about rod in 24 hours...bump those book sales.

The 25th amendment is cabinet level decisions, way above the paygrade of some Hillary loving douche like McCabe. And he tried his little coup when Trump was barely into his Presidency, based on false information cooked up by the Hillary campaign.
McCabe needs to do hard time. In past times he would have been shot.

The stories I read say McCabe didn't think he could do it but he thought VP Pence and Sec of Defense Flynn might recognize Trump as so handicapped mentally and morally corrupt that they might invoke the 25th Amendment. McCabe was wrong but no less a hero.

McCabe is one of those smartest-guy-in-the-room types that thinks he has status far beyond what he has.
There was no heroism here, just sedition and conspiracy based off the manipulations of partisan political hacks who's boots he was happy to lick.

Perhaps you know him better than me. I just know his record of service in law enforcement. :patriot:

How Rosenstein and McCabe are walking free is beyond me.
It’s pretty simple. The IG referred McCabe to the DOJ for prosecution and there have been two AGs, under this administration, that have declined to charge him. We’ll see about the third. As far as Rosenstein goes, he met directly with Trump last September about the wire and 25th Amendment allegations and decided to believe him over McCabe.

I think the 25th amendment still, is subject to a strict interpretation and none of this would have fitted it. This was a coup attempt. And millions and millions wasted on this.

Haven't you read the 25th? It states the FBI's job is to decide when to invoke the measure.
You know, it says that, in the same section which says it is up to the outgoing President, his AG, heads of CIA, FBI, to make the wheels of justice turn.
Lynch meets WJ Clinton in Phoenix, etc. AG directs Comey to name the action a "matter."
McCabe doesn't concern himself of this biased handling?
Rosenstein overlooks mention of this questionable situation?
Perhaps ALL of them know the fake Steele dossier is a fraud, yet present it to FISA court multiple times? Leak it to the press?
McCabe doesn't rehabilitate well, unless one suffers from untreatable TDS; a mental disorder recognized by professionals.
It is even being debated if criminal misdoings, can be defended by TDS?
Where does the TDS originate? Do you catch it, from being brainwashed by the crooked media?
Lynch, Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Ohr, Brennan, Clapper, and others were all of one mind apparently.
Greg Jarret and Joe DiGenova have written books about the attempt to exonerate H. Clinton, and frame Trump.
They didn't just ponder it and talk it over. They acted on it.
Yet there is no law/provision designating them to be responsible for orchestrating such a Coup.
That law ONLY names the VP and Cabinet.
No collusion proved with Russia, to date. Stone's "Opposition Research" not illegal.
Nixon=Reagan=Trump
And Trump is payback for Clinton impeachment, andObama birther, make no mistake.

Donald Trump has suffered historically low approval ratings of between 36-43 percent throughout his presidency. From James Comey to Michael Flynn, various figures have had their reputations tarnished by the current administration. But one person has surprisingly grown in popularity since working with the president—Mike Pence.
A recent poll found more Americans have a favorable view of Vice President Mike Pence than those who approve of President Donald Trump’s work in office. In fact, Pence's recent performance in polls has experienced a significant boost when compared to results several months ago.
The former governor of Indiana is a heartbeat away from being commander in chief and according to those close to him, he has long harbored ambitions for the top seat in the White House.
Heartbeat, tragic accident while visiting military troops, or military junta?

Gee, somehow that doesn't exactly leave me feeling any better. Who in the heck is Mike Pence? I had never heard of him before Trump.
