TOENSING: DOJ Planned A Coup Against Trump — And The Press Doesn’t Care
4:15 PM 02/21/2019 | Opinion
Victoria Toensing
Andrew McCabe and Rod Rosenstein, along with other Department of Justice (DOJ) officials, plotted a political assassination of President Trump. Listen closely so you can hear the mainstream media’s crickets.
Former FBI acting Director McCabe confessed on 60 Minutes and elsewhere that he and Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein discussed ousting the president in May 2017, even going so far as contemplating Rosenstein’s wearing a wire to capture the words of the president regarding his reason for firing Comey. Their weapon for ousting the duly elected president: the 25th Amendment to the Constitution.
The limited media comments expose a dreadful ignorance of the law. A collective ho-hum was the response to McCabe’s claim that Trump’s firing Comey triggered the investigation. Some commentators, such as CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin, even claim to have a law degree. They must have skipped constitutional law class. The president has Article II authority to fire anyone in the executive branch for any reason or for no reason. Whatever President Trump stated regarding his firing of Comey — and he has provided numerous reasons — has no legal significance whatsoever.
Worse, the media seem unable to comprehend the plain meaning of the 25th Amendment, which has three purposes. First, to designate who succeeds the president in case of death or resignation, which is clearly not at issue here. The second, to provide the process of succession when the president “transmits†in writing to the House and Senate that he “is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office,†is also irrelevant.

TOENSING: DOJ Planned A Coup Against Trump — And The Press Doesn’t Care
Doesn't care my azz! The press is in on it up to their necks!
-
Don't look now.... but it doesn't appear that the 'current' DOJ cares either. I don't see any indications that any of the former perps will be attending jail any time soon, if ever.

The press cares very deeply. They are doing everything they can to make this go away.

I know it looks that way but I continue to remain hopeful that this will all be fully addressed because, if it isn't, our once great republic is well and truly done for!

Hope is great.... but I can't ignore Barr's friendship with Mueller... and the FACT that Barr has yet to end the witch hunt. I can't help asking why not, either. JS...
