Dont tell former FBI general counsel James Baker that those now-infamous discussions about secretly recording President Donald Trump and using the tapes to remove him from office were a joke.
He apparently doesnt believe it. And he held quite the vantage point he was on the inside of the bureaus leadership in May 2017, when the discussions occurred.
Baker told Congress last week that his boss then-Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe was dead serious about the idea of surreptitiously recording the 45th president and using the evidence to make the case that Trump should be removed from office, according to my sources.

Trump needs to be prepared that everything was taped.
Watergate was only 26 months from break-in (7/72) to resignation (9/74). How long has this debacle been on going?
Can we say "global warming"?
Omarosa not only did so, but so far she's been allowed to just keep all those tapes and drip them out as she likes.
I agree. Looks to me like Pres. Trump is avoiding a pre-election media storm over firing Rosenstein, by letting this testimony play out, after which R will have to resign. If Baker knew McCabe was serious, and McCabe tried to get Rosenstein in on the plot, R had a duty to tell Trump immediately — even if R thought it was a joke. Conceivably, R. did tell Trump, but that seems very unlikely.
Let’s hope that after R is replaced, Sessions leaves to pursue other opportunities after the election. Being an honorable man, Sessions couldn’t conceive of the sort of vipers’ nest he was getting into, and was immediately outmaneuvered. The job requires someone cynical enough to see what is happening, with no desire to protect the DoJ/FBI as an institution by hiding the crimes of its personnel. Tough Love required to clean up this mess. Keep the LawFare crowd busy playing defense.
On the other hand we need someone legit in that position.
after the election both Sessions and Rosy will be gone
Keep your enemies close!
The following says it was an international conspiracy by globalist “Allies.” Trump is too much of a US First nationalist:

i.e. Willam Casey?
i.e. Vince Foster?
