Is there ANY other source for these “It was all Rosenstein’s idea!” claims that RR alone came up with this novel approach to bugging the President & then using the 25th Amendment to throw him out of office?
Just asking because it sounds like MCCABE is the *only* source for this
Rosenstein is a highly intelligent, disciplined, calculating federal prosecutor.
McCabe is a 100% political creature, a flunky elevated to his former position at the FBI under Comey precisely for that reason.
Based on what I know about the backgrounds of these two men, when I’m asked “Which of these two is *far more likely* to have come up with this stupid ‘Let’s use the 25th to throw Trump out of office!’ idea?” I look right at McCabe, not Rosenstein.
Only someone ‘locked in’ to an already desperate casting about for a solution to *save themselves* would be desperate enough to look at the 25th Amendment and go “Eureka! There’s the answer!”
The 25th clearly says a President who is physically or mentally incapacitated.
When it comes to a President who makes *morally* bad decisions, which is what McCabe is claiming, that’s not what the 25th Amendment is for. That’s what impeachment by the Congress is for.
Only a moron would grasp at the 25th as any kind of strategy against Trump.
I’ve watched McCabe and Rosenstein in interviews. Only a political flunky who got in way over his head and is absolutely terrified he and his buddies are about to be exposed by a new Presidential administration would resort to this kind of stupid gambit.
McCabe and his fellow SpyGate plotters had spent MONTHS plotting, planning how to prevent Trump from winning the election, then after Nov 2016 they spent the entire transition period plotting how to get Trump tossed out of office as fast as possible.
Rosenstein was a working US attorney pursuing corrupt gov’t officials until he went after an Obama flunky in Gen. James Cartwright. Rosenstein was supposed to just go thru the motions then no bill the guy.
Instead, with no help from Obama/Holder, Rosenstein CONVICTED him.
You know what Obama did then? He flushed all of Rosenstein’s hard work down the toilet and pardoned Cartwright. 3 years of hard work - FLOOSH!
When was Rosenstein elevated by Trump from US Attorney to become the new Deputy Attorney General?
I have the date right here!
FEBRUARY 1, 2017. Like, one of the *first things* Trump did on assuming office was put this hand picked guy into place as his new DAG.
Rosenstein wasn’t even AROUND hanging out with those FBI guys, helping them get Crossfire Hurricane off the ground, doing all that illegal unmasking of Trump team comms using the FBI/NSA comms databases, or all the ‘insurance policy’ plotting the SpyGate plotters did.
Too many talking heads out there can’t even follow a simple f**king timeline.
Rosenstein a key SpyGate plotter? Really? When he wasn’t even THERE dealing with these people until Feb 2017?
Learn to follow a timeline, it will help.
For all the time the SpyGate plotters were doing all their pre-election and then post-election SpyGate plotting right up to Feb. 1, 2017, where the hell was Rod Rosenstein during all of that?
In his office doing his job as US Attorney for the Maryland District.
What date was Rosenstein confirmed into his new job as Deputy Attorney General? Anybody remember THAT date?
How about April Twenty-F**king-Fifth, 2017?
Senate confirms Rosenstein as deputy attorney general
The Senate backs the veteran federal prosecutor as the nations deputy attorney general with a 94-6 vote.

Are you starting to get the picture here? This narrative that Rosenstein LEAPED into his new job and instantly sussed out the SpyGate plot and LOVED what he was seeing and eagerly JOINED THESE MORONS in trying to remove Trump from office is the stupidest goddamn narrative ever.
#TeamWhiteHat takes one to the liver and is up against the ropes. It looks grim.
