Jim Acosta: Yeah, Chris. And I think there is a lot to analyze about all of this. I’ll try to walk-through it as best as I can. But I’m hearing from a well-placed Republican source there have been preliminary conversations going on inside the cabinet among some cabinet members about invoking the 25th amendment of the Constitution to force the removal of President Trump from office. Now, that is a dramatic step. It’s never been taken before, and it’s something that hasn’t really been contemplated until really today with the events that we saw unfolding up on Capitol Hill. I am told that this talk of using the 25th amendment to force President Trump from office has reached Capitol Hill. There are some Republican senators who have been briefed on this who understand that these discussions are taking place and so word is spreading that this may end up happening. Now, the process is complicated, Chris. The vice president and a majority of the cabinet would have to determine that the president is unable to carry out the duties of his office. The president could contest that and then it would go to the Congress and you would need, I think, a two-thirds vote in each house in the house and the Senate for the president to be removed from office.
This is just Jim Acosta babbling again! This is what makes CNN such a bad network.
lol @ moderates
“His own Cabinet is coming for him. “
No. Trump picked his cabinet so you can’t actually believe that.
This is a 100% CNN created fake news story to garner web site hits.
He's waited too damn long on that already. With each day delayed anything released seems less legitimate and more desperate or vindictive.
Are they saying Pence wants a reward for his treason?
Well put!
The only people the GOPe is concerned alienating now are their RAT masters because they hold the key, not voters to whether the GOPe stay on the DC gravy train, and their RAT masters want to hurt President Trump as much as possible. Any moment now the RATS will begin the communist trick of rehabilitating a past leader to make the newly disgraced former leader look even worse. Since they've already rehabilitated George W. Bush, it falls on Richard Nixon to be rehabilitated so Trump can take his place as the worst President of all time. If not today, definitely over the weekend we'll start seeing how Nixon was a visionary with China and a victim of the same mentality among people like Liddy and Colson that Trump exhibits now.
Fake news...hot and heavy for the next 2 weeks.
That is absolutely true being the easier path, but I think, AC, that the RATS really want to pile on as much pain and disgrace as they can and if they think going the 25th Amendment route does that to the President, I would expect them to pursue it first. Not at all disagreeing or arguing with you. It's just my sense today that the RATS and the GOPe have become Khan: they wish to go on hurting Trump.
Seriously.
I doubt Jim Acosta knows anything.
“I wonder how much they’re getting paid”.
They’re receiving “Offers they can’t refuse”.
Can we substantiate that it was indeed Antifa? That would be great.
Transcript RIPPED OFF from Rush Limbaugh. For shame.
They shouldn’t have stormed the Capitol.
They should have stormed and sacked the offices of: CNN,MSNBC, CBS, NBC, NPR, Washington Post, NYT, ...
These are the real enemies of the prople.
One Cabinet Member is not plural, dickhead.
The more people think of it the more they will appreciate what happened. Storming the capitol is not something I would have done at this time but either this will scare the politicians into doing the right thing(s) going forward or this will make them crackdown. If the former, it was well worth it. If the latter, it wasn’t enough. At some point you have to push back and make it real to them. This shouldn’t stop. Now is the time to put maximum pressure on the phony elites.
I hope Trump is busy signing pardons for his loyal supporters, himself, and his family. The left is evil. They won’t stop after he’s out of office.
I think it could happen as now the game is to rewrite history to the maximum extent possible and this would accomplish just thatm
