Andrew McCabe Admits Top NatSec Officials Plotted Coup Against Trump

[bripat9643]

Yeah, it's for when the President is incapacitated

That is not what it 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."

That's exactly what it says. It doesn't say anything about relieving him of the office because some malcontents don't like what he's doing.

 

[bripat9643]

Please point out to me just where the FBI fits in this Amendment?

"The principle officers of the executive departments."

The FBI is a division of the department of Justice, which is an executive department.

None of the coup plotters were "the principle officers of the DOJ."

You are really deep into this conspiracy stuff, huh.

President Trump has been acting nutty since he announced he was running for office. Of course they are going to discuss the possibility that he's unfit to carry out his duties (because he is).

"Nutty" by the standards of TDS snowflakes, not by the standards of rational people.

Nutty as in he doesn't have a clue what he's doing most of the time, says things constantly that make no sense, lies as much as he actually tells the truth, etc. Like I always say, I don't mind Trump as an entertainer, but I want someone wise as my president, not Bozo the Clown.

The deep state is about to implode. Everyone involved in this plot should be in prison:

Andrew McCabe Admits Top NatSec Officials Plotted Coup Against Trump​

Former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe publicly admitted that after the firing of James Comey, national security officials strategized on invoking the 25th amendment to remove President Trump from office.

“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,” Scott Pelley said he learned in his “60 Minutes” interview with McCabe.

Pelley described the top bureaucrats as “counting noses,” and speculating on where various cabinet members might stand on the question of the president’s removal.​

Hmm.... so they considered using legitimate, Constitutional means to remove the President from office. That's not a crime.

They did a lot more than that, and wearing a wire to spy on the president is a crime.

They did not consider using Constitutional means to remove Trump from office. The 25th Amendment was in applicable, and if it were, the FBI has no role it it. If Trump had actually committed a crime, then it would be up to to Congress to impeach him - again, no role for the FBI.

In RealityLand, Comey, McCabe, Clapper, Brennan, Strzok, Page, Ohr, Rosenstein and the cabal of permanent bureaucracy drones conspired to overthrow a duly elected President. Worst Scandal In American History...enabled by the MSM.

 

[bripat9643]

The deep state is about to implode.

It IS imploding and has been ever since Trump took office.

The sound of the collapse has even been caught on tape
as the moans of the Beast cry in pain. See God or Godzilla,
religion and ethics.

You voted for the most corrupt politician ever to run for President.

Enough said.

That's exactly what it says.

Shameless lie, as anyone can see for themselves by scrolling up. At no point does it state or imply, "incapacitated" only. So go ahead and blow all the smoke you like...you are embarrassing yourself...

You're the liar.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

They did not consider using Constitutional means to remove Trump from office.

They absolutely did, so that's wrong.

The 25th Amendment was in applicable

Also 100% wrong, as anyone can read for themselves ny scrolling up. The definition of "unable to perform" is precisely when the necessary people decide it is so.

the FBI has no role it it

Also 100% wrong, as the amendment clearly mentions principal officers of executive departments, of which the DOJ is one. The FBI is a division of the DOJ, and so, obviously, would be consulted.

If Trump had actually committed a crime, then it would be up to to Congress to impeach him - again, no role for the FBI.

Also stupid nonsense, as the FBI would,of course, refer evidence and suggestions for criminal charges to them to aid in their decision making.

Wow dude...are you going for some kind of record?

If you actually knew anything about history and the background of the 25th amendment, it's purpose is to deal with the death of a President, or his inability to do the job due to a serious illness or injury.

The Coup Attempters were focused on Section 4, which states:

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.


Disagreeing with the policies or decisions of a President doesn't mean he is incapable of carrying out his duties. They attempt to use the 25th amendment to overthrow a President they didn't support. Their proper course of action was to resign. Instead, they engaged in the worst political scandal in American history.

But it doesn't matter how it has been interpreted in use before, or how the Trump cult wants it interpreted. It matters what it says. And if the right people deem him unfit to perform his duties as president, then the 25th amendment can be used. That's a simple fact. Your crybabying has no bearing on this.

 

[Ame®icano]

The reason is specified in the Amendment itself. And it's not what you want it to be.

Actually, it's pretty clear what it calls for.


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.

Being a crazy person counts.

And that's on them to decide, right?

 

[francoHFW]

The fix is in.

It's a conspiracy!! Actually the FBI the CIA The joint chiefs of staff etc etc have to investigate everything. And there is certainly reason to believe the Trump campaign might have been involved with the Russians wrecking the election.

 

[Manonthestreet]

That Justice Department officials were having discussions about ousting a sitting president should concern every American. It is simply astonishing that these actors allegedly held conversations around the notion of seizing power from the elected head of the executive branch.

Obviously, heads should roll, but really such a plot should result in criminal prosecutions with all the high-profile force that was used to arrest Roger Stone. Presidential plotters must face punishment

 

[JLW]

There was no coup or attempted coup or whatever else, right-wing nutters believe. McCabe was doing his job by investigating a man who is or may be compromised by a foreign power and a national security risk. You should ask yourselves what Trump was doing to make the FBI question his motives. You will not though. That is obvious.

Not an apologist. I don't believe in worshipping a president and putting him above the law as you do.

You are so misguided. What people here are supporting is the rule of law and The Constitution. If you actually knew anything about the events of the past 2.5+ years, you'd know that this entire investigation is political maneuver to overthrow a duly elected President.
