Rosenstein Rejects Andrew McCabe’s Statements, Calls Him A Liar (Remove President Trump)
Breitbart ^ | 2-15-2019 | Kristina Wong

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein rejected allegations made by former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to CBS News that he and other officials discussed removing the president via the 25th amendment after he fired James Comey, according to a Department of Justice (DOJ) statement.

“As to the specific portions of this interview provided to the Department of Justice by 60 Minutes in advance, the Deputy Attorney General again rejects Mr. McCabe’s recitation of events as inaccurate and factually incorrect,” the statement said.

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.

These were the eight days from Comey’s firing to the point that Robert Mueller was appointed special counsel. And the highest levels of American law enforcement were trying to figure out what do with the president.

“[McCabe] is the very first person involved in these meetings who has come out and spoken publicly,” Pelley said. “They were counting noses, they were not asking cabinet members whether they would vote for or against removing the president, but they were speculating ‘This person would be with us. That person would not be,’ and they were counting noses in that effort. … This was not perceived to be a joke.”

Pelley also said McCabe told him Rosenstein offered multiple times to wear a wire in meetings with the president, and that he was so serious about it he took it to FBI lawyers.

The DOJ said in its statement “the Deputy Attorney General never authorized any recording that Mr. McCabe references.”

“Finally, the Deputy Attorney General never spoke to Mr. Comey about appointing a Special Counsel.

Apparently there is no honor amongst crooks and when the going gets dicey and tough they begin to squeal and attack each other. Time to get the popcorn out and watch.

“Andrew McCabe to CBS News that he and other officials discussed removing the president via the 25th amendment”

One of the few times the POS was actually telling the truth. Why Trump didn’t fire Rosenweasel the day RR used Comey’s firing as an excuse to appoint Mueller is beyond me that’s for sure. A total set up and it has been a chain around Trump’s neck for 2 years.

See my quote above. According to McCabe, Jeff Sessions was lamenting the lack of trustworthy Irish drunks in the FBI who were being replaced by tattooed kids with nose rings.

Rosenstein was serious when he offered to wear a wire and invoke the 25th Amendment. Obviously Trump was kidding when he asked the Russians to divulge Hillary’s emails.

“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.”

Proving that they are also idiots. All Trump would have had to do was report to Congress that no disability exists and he is right back in charge. Congress can over-ride him by a 2/3 vote in BOTH houses. To merely impeach takes a majority in the House and a 2/3 in the Senate.

The 25th is harder to use than regular impeachment. At least they didn’t go the JFK route this time, BUT I bet it has been and still is being discussed by the same circles.
