Department of Revolt; DOJ Coup against President Trump
Timothy Birdnow
Apparently two of Trump's cabinet members were at least approachable by McCabe and Rosenstein and other DOJ officials to overthrow the President of the United States.
According to Fox News:
The Testimony also underscores the critical nature of the Clinton-campaign funded Steele "dossier":
Also during the testimony, Moyer said the chances of securing a 2016 surveillance warrant for a Trump campaign aide were only "50/50†without the controversial anti-Trump "dossier,†according to transcripts confirmed by Fox News.
Moyer’s testimony appears to underscore how critical the dossier -- funded by the Democratic Party and Clinton campaign -- was in obtaining the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant, and appears to conflict with Democratic assertions that the dossier played a limited role in the process.
End excerpt.
Never in American history has there been such a duplicitous effort made by appointees of a former Administration to overturn the results of an election. This is shocking, and the sad thing is it may still work. Certainly Trump has faced adversity unlike any other President. And the really sad thing is I doubt anyone is going to be seriously punished for this.
Apparently two of Trump's cabinet members were at least approachable by McCabe and Rosenstein and other DOJ officials to overthrow the President of the United States.
According to Fox News:
Former top FBI lawyer James Baker, in closed-door testimony to Congress, detailed alleged discussions among senior officials at the Justice Department about invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office, claiming he was told Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said two Trump Cabinet officials were "ready to support†such an effort.
[...]
But when the New York Times broke the story in September, it reported that Rosenstein told McCabe he might be able to persuade then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions and then-Secretary of Homeland Security and later White House chief of staff John Kelly to invoke the 25th Amendment.
[...]
Fox News has reported, based on a source who was in the meeting, that Rosenstein's "wire" comments were viewed as "sarcastic." But Baker testified that it was taken seriously.
Baker testified in October that the alleged discussions took place during an uncertain and anxious time at the FBI and DOJ after Comey’s termination, and that the mood was "pretty dark":
This more resembles a coup than anything else. [...]
