    Once again this is outrageous. The purpose of the 25th Amendment is NOT so the DOJ and FBI can mount a political coup. That these high level officials were plotting how to overturn an election because they did not approve of the duly elected President should have us all up in arms. And he states unequivocally that Rosenstein was in on a plot to wiretap the sitting President and try to entrap him is some kind statements they would try to use to justify their coup. Rosenstein needs to be fired and fired now.

    McCabe: There were 25th Amendment discussions at DOJ to remove Trump from office

    Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe says that after President Trump fired his boss, FBI Director James Comey, there were discussions within the Department of Justice about invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office.

    Last year, the New York Times reported that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein discussed recruiting Cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment....

    “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,” Pelley said.

    According to the Times, Rosenstein also suggested that he secretly record Trump in the White House. Rosenstein disputed the account, and a Justice Department official said he made the remark sarcastically. But McCabe told Pelley that Rosenstein’s offer to wear a wire was made more than once and that he ultimately took it to the lawyers at the FBI to discuss.

    The FBI DOJ are full of nothing but political hacks and needs a top down firing and restructuring. Imagine if they plotted in a similar manner against the obama. Going as far as planning to wear a wire.

    Imagine Obama giving them anywhere close to the amount of justification that Trump has provided.

    The Democrats and their Russian allies have been colluding to destroy America and fundamentally transform it for decades. The Russians and the democrats have agents all throughout our government working to tear it down.

    Indeed it was.... if we take already disproved, baseless allegations made by a rogue, disgraced, fired for cause, desperately trying to justify his crimes and sell his book FBI agent at face value.

    Got to love that one, been seeing the same lame picture for two years now

    Let me explain it to you, at the time Obama was President, not a candidate for President, but President, who can discuss foreign relations with another diplomat. Trump's people were not representing the President of the US but just Trump, it is illegal for them to be planning with foreign diplomats against a existing policy of a sitting President

    Think you got it now, although, just like the demogogues you watch nightly, I'm sure you will repeat the bogus post again and again and again

    The overwhelming majority of Americans, i.e. "we," do indeed.

    Polls show that most Americans approve of the FBI and believe Trump is obstructing justice

    Majority of Americans say Trump is lying about the Russia investigation

    Poll shows most Americans trust Mueller over Trump

    Did we ever find out what "more flexible" meant? Was that when he thought it would be a good time to start WW3 or was it when he would like to schedule dinner?

    Right.... so does the House intelligence committee investigation, so does the Senate intelligence committee investigation, so does the FBI office of professional responsibility which investigated McCabe and exposed him as a biased, lying, power-abusing scumbag.

    You guys keep bringing this up like it shows that Obama was being weak / compromised. The opposite is true.

    What's Obama saying? "You want some flexibility from me? You want me to do something nice for you? Nope. Sorry. Ain't gonna happen. But just to soften the blow, I'll tell you that it might happen later. But it won't."

    You mean other than you have nothing to base such a statement on?

    Putin benefited way more under Obama's weak leadership than he has under Trump. Russia entered Syria and Ukraine under Obama, who did nothing. Even if we go with the narrative that Russia hacked the 2016 elections, that also....happened under Obama.

    Prove me wrong.

    Explain to me the ways in which Russia has benefited more under Trump than Obama.

    Obama didn't put that condition on it. You are making crap up. He straight up said, all he has to do is retain power and he will be more flexible. He was calling for Russian support in the election. I wonder if he got any? Why was there no investigation after this highly questionable exchange? This exchange is far far far far worse than ANYTHING anyone on the Trump team has ever done.

    So, we have the "testimony", and even though it wasn't administered under oath, it is still evidence that this twerp, his leadership team, et al committed TREASON against this nation.

    What does the deputy director of the FBI have to do with the 25th amendment??? Clearly, the corrupt obama DOJ holdovers we’re attempting a coup. Traders

    The House Committee? You mean "twilight Uber to the White House" Nunnes' House Committee? What did you think they were going say, hell, they didn't even interview major players, and those they did they let walk without asking the appropriate questions, had to love them accepting Junior's "lawyer client privilege" claim cause an attorney was sitting in the gallery

    The Senate Committee even stated in their findings that their investigation findings that their investigation was not conclusive, that they never got the chance to interview individuals who may have had relevant information. They ended the investigation basically admitting that what they found was all they had up to that point. Read their report rather than taking Sean's word for it

    The IG stated that they found no evidence of any bias actually applied to the FBI's work nor conclusions

    Which pretty much brings you back to Sean as your "proof"

    Next

    Oh the libbies are fine with this, I bet when Trump does the exact same thing to their 2020 candidate their tune will change. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. If it's ok now it'll be ok in 2020.

    Nope. That's your spin.

    "I can be more flexible after the election" means, "I am not being flexible with you today."

    That's not exactly what the IG and that was concerning Hillary's email investigation, we haven't heard from him on the Trump investigation and Fisa court, although we should soon! So do you think all the FBI firings and reassignments were for being good cops concerning this BS investigation?

    "silent coup"
    Will democrats ever be held responsible for their criminality? I'm guessing not.. McCabe is out there bragging about his part in the efforts to unseat a duly and lawfully elected President.
