Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., alleged Sunday that there is a bureaucratic coup being uncovered following reporting last week that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein discussed trying to oust President Trump.
The New York Times reported Friday that Rosenstein considered rallying Cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment to the Constitution and offered to wear a wire to record his conversations with the president.
Rosenstein has denied he considered such actions and follow-up reports have indicated that he was being sarcastic when bringing up the secret recording.
Graham told Fox News Sunday that Trump should not fire the top Justice Department official unless he believes Rosenstein is lying.
He said he did not do the things alleged, but there is a bureaucratic coup against President Trump being discovered here, Graham said. Before the election, the people in question tried to taint the election, tip it to [Hillary] Clintons favor. After the election, theyre trying to undermine the president.
Graham cited former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, former FBI agent Peter Stzrok and former FBI lawyer Lisa Pages actions as evidence of government officials trying to undermine Trump.
They tried to destroy this president, he said. If Rosenstein is involved, he should be fired. If he is not involved, leave him alone
There's a bureaucratic coup going on at the department of justice and the FBI and somebody needs to look at it.

Hey Linda....they are STILL TRYING the COUP!! They have NOT given up!
Someone needs to feed that Senator his daily dose of baby food. He’s got no teeth and certainly has no spine! Sigh.
Linda is up to something. I dont trust his new found bravado and Trump support. Hes either trying to protect himself somewhere or hes setting Trump up. I do not believe that hes grown a spine or come to Jesus. I think hes attempting to lure Trump into some sort of trap.
Linda is just slow but he gets there.
I don’t trust Linda for a second.
This guy hitched his political wagon to McCain.
Welcome to the party pal. You’re just figuring that out even though your senate butt buddy no name and the CIA started the whole thing? Give me a break.
When Senator Graham is saying this publicly, everyone on Capitol Hill knows it privately.
This has been apparent for quite some time, but the REAL QUESTION is: Why hasn't ANYONE gone to jail????
And, the action against Kavanaugh is also part of the coup against Trump. Any Republican who will not support Kavanaugh is part of the coup, IMO.
Yeah, I’m not buying his redemption arc story either.
As far as scotus nominees goes, its going to work. The rhinos are going to be the minority and no Trump nominee will be be confirmed. The scotus will be whittled down to a 5 member conservative court very soon.
Do not trust Miss Lindsey.
“no Trump nominee will be be confirmed. The scotus will be whittled down to a 5 member conservative court very soon.”
I hadn’t thought of that. There isn’t a specified number of SCOTUS judges that I know of. The old farts who are headed for imminent dirt naps are pretty liberal. Let ‘em go; don’t fill their seats. Ta da! A conservative SCOTUS.
Well, it seems Linda’s fully taken-over as the MSM darling after his master has finally kicked the bucket.
Hey, Capt. Obvious, what you DOING about it? Pull your panties outta the twist and GET. TO. WORK.
I have one word for Linda: Duh.
Graham has figured out that the attempt to remove Trump is going to fail and he will have to run for re-election - with - Trump.
He will lose if he opposes him.
No conservative should trust Linda, he’s still a Bush League Republican hell bent on turning the USA into North Mexico.
He’s trying to anger Trump and goad him into firing RR.
