The top brass in the FBI and intelligence community were determined to stop President Trump from winning the White House in 2016, and they talked about removing him from office months after he was sworn in, according to newly released documents.
The zeal to pin Russian collusion allegations on Mr. Trump spilled out of the 700 pages of emails, memos, interviews and other material connected to the 2016 “Crossfire Hurricane” probe that were newly made public by the Trump administration.
Some of the material is familiar, released in 2021 by Mr. Trump on the final day of his first term. Other pages provide greater detail about the unprecedented secret probe and spy operation on Mr. Trump’s campaign that followed him into the White House.
In one newly released memo, dated May 2017, four months into Mr. Trump’s first term, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe discussed “the President’s capacity and the possibility that he could be removed from office under the 25th Amendment.”
At the time, the Justice Department was reeling over Mr. Trump’s firing of FBI Director James B. Comey on May 9, 2017, and was weighing the appointment of a special counsel to oversee the FBI’s probe into allegations, later proven phony, that Mr. Trump colluded with Russia to win the election.
Mr. Rosenstein said he believed he “might already have two supporters” among the eight cabinet members he would need to remove Mr. Trump under the 25th Amendment: Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly.
The plan never moved forward and Mr. Kelly was elevated to serve as Mr. Trump’s White House Chief of Staff a mere two months later, in July of 2017. He left the White House in January 2019.
Mr.Trump fired Mr. Sessions in November 2018.

How the current DOJ responds to this will speak volumes.
Why aren’t thes agents and bureaucrats in jail for sedition?
Patience, Padawan, patience..................
Trust Sessions. Trust the plan.
Because Kash and Bongino, miserable failures that they are, are too busy giving them promotions.
I just want to see that smug & smirkey Peter Strzok perp walked............
When and where are the arrests and hangings? Or firing squad.
A bump to the top. No real surprises here but it’s certainly nice to have actual physical evidence in public.
“Trust Sessions. Trust the plan.”
My, you’re in a fine sardonic mood today! (I really like your comment)
Trust Sessions um Trust Wray um Trust Barr um Trust Bondi.
How this cannot be treason is beyond me. D.C. is a hostile, occupying power.
Our “government” is dirty.
I am more convinced than ever that “Q” was an FBI/CIA/Deep Atate Psy-Op.
Surely there is enough evidence to convict these conspirators.. Lets get on with it!!! Seat the Grand Jury toute suite!!
When are we going to see arrests? Otherwise this means nothing and they will try again with different characters and a President they don’t like.
WE are waiting for a response that matters.
The wheels of justice turn slowly.............
Please don’t let Kash Patel and Dan Bongino turn out to be beta men afraid of doing the right thing in the Jeff Sessions mold!!!
