    The justification for the discussion was the firing of James Comey after forcing the deputy AG to write a justification and then saying that he fired him because of the Russia thing.

    He was not merely afraid that he would be fired. He was afraid that his firing would be used as a justification for surreptitiously ending the Russia investigation.

    After all, trump had just admitted to the Russian prime minister that firing Comey would alleviate the pressure from the investigation and he told the world that he fired him because of that Russian thing. He had also pressured Rosenstein into writing a memo that he could parade as his justification, so the obstruction of justice investigation was insurance that the Russia investigation would survive and continue.

    Exactly, they were in a conspiracy to overthrow the Trump administration and were discussing recruiting others into it and then having Rosenstein wear a wire on the President of the United States, without a warrant, to try and entrap him.

    Right, the indictments for treason against FBI and DOJ officials will be coming soon. This newly appointed Trump AG will get right on it. Lol

    If any of that is criminal activity, I am sure that Barr will start handing down the indictments any day now. However my prediction is that no such thing will be done, once again proving that these baseless charges being puked out on Fox News and repeated here by several deluded members are the usual bunch of crapola that they continue to fantasize about.

    The 25A is SOLELY related to removal of a POTUS for health reasons, any discussion of its use for policy reasons is an attempted coup.

    What is baseless about them McCabe is admitting them and we have the emails. And there is an IG investigating the matter.

    No matter how much you on the Trump-hating Left try to avoid it, you cannot get away from the fact that the entire lever-and-fulcrum for what the FBI did under BOTH Comey and McCabe was the Steele Dossier -- solicited, bought, and paid for by the Hillary Clinton Campaign!

    For just once (ONCE) can you in the "Hillary-Über-Alles" camp just ADMIT that?! It was the HILLARY creatures who conspired with Russians -- but you will never, ever admit that, even though all the evidence is out there, stinking in plain view, like dog crap on a sidewalk.... Both Comey and McCabe should be hanged for treason against the Constitution of the United States -- which BOTH of them swore oaths to uphold! And Peter Strzok? He doesn't even deserve to be hanged... they just need to stick his ass in a trash compactor!

    Don't forget Brennan, who lied to Congress regarding the Dossier.

    Heads need to roll, and people need to spend a long time in jail for the actions they undertook to try and topple a duly elected President of the United States.

    The primary allegation from the Steele Dossier, the allegation which held the most confidence, is that Russia interfered in the 2016 US election with the Express intent of helping Donald Trump.

    That finding has been confirmed and agreed upon by every Trump appointed intelligence official.

    So even if Hillary Clinton personally conducted the research for that dossier, it would STILL be an important and valid piece of evidence in the ensuing investigation.

    Obama had real scum wielding tremendous power:

    The deep blob: Beware the suffocating metastasis of the administrative state.
    Their sanctimonious self-righteousness makes there attempt to arrogate authority even worse.

    I think the GOP let the SOL run, both on this one and with Crapper, who also lied to Congress.

    Obama wearing a tan suit was grounds enough for impeachment for the batcrap crazy right. His stating that a son of his might have looked like Trayvon Martin was reason enough to call him a racist and to hang him in effigy. And his audacity to point out that Americans built their businesses with help of others was enough to accuse him of being un-American, communist and treasonous. And let's not forget the BIRTHERS and their leader who for 8 years trolled President Obama while not once sharing what his private investigators found in Hawaii :rolleyes: and insisting that Obama share his long form birth certificate and yet this monstrosity lies about his reason for not showing tax returns ad nauseam.

    Yes, just imagine if Obama did anything close to what Trump has...OMG! :icon_jawdrop:

    Andrew McCabe is a national disgrace
    Obama's FBI was even filthier than J. Edgar Hoover's.
    Barr has his work cut out for him, once Democrats stop obstructing his confirmation.

    Barr has ALREADY been confirmed.

    You need to do a better job of staying up to date.

    Bunk. The 25th Amendment says:
    "Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President."

    Do you see anything in there about the justice department having the power to remove the president from office? I didn't think so, because it's not there. You might want to bone up in the Constitution, or at least consult it before posting such silliness.

    It's perfectly appropriate, however, for the DOJ to study the situation, assemble evidence, and bring it to the VP or Congress to make a case. Investigation is the job of the FBI you know. I hope you know anyway. It's a question since you didn't even think to check the Constitution or to think about this first.

    What’s being exposed about the Obama DOJ shouldn’t come as a massive surprise. We have known the left weaponized the executive against political rivals, it’s nothing new

    There was none. This thread is just a pile of fevered conspiracy theory and spin.

    What did he mean, exactly? Did he ever say? Or is all this just fevered speculation? Yup. It is.
