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.
Jeff Sessions, "Hold muh mint julep."
"The FBI was better off when you all only hired Irishmen. They were drunks, but they could be trusted. Not like all those new people with nose rings and tattoos—who knows what they’re doing?” Sessions was quoted as saying in the book.
No, the show has become tiresome, I want some real action against these criminal traitors.
All swamp all the time. Gotta hate the power structure in DC.
And where or where was our AG at the time? Hiding.
The FBI in Washington DC is corrupt to its core
Shut it down
Where’s the demands from Congress demanding arrests for treason?
“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.
Crickets from every single DemocRat and old guard GOP elites.
BOTH should face a firing squad for
TREASON and SEDITION!!!!
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.
I think I know where you are going with it, and I’m inclined to agree with you.
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.
BARR NEEDS to Appoint Special Counsel to get to the bottom of all this corruption at the DOJ/FBI/Clapper/Brennan/Comey/McCabe/ETC.
Put them both on the polygraph.

Rod Rosenstein,IS A FILTHY LIAR JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE FREAKS THAT WORK WITH AND FOR HIM..Put his rear in GITMO and do it soon..
why in the name of Heaven are Rosenstein and Mueller still on the public payroll!????????????????????????????????
I’m curious to hear your thoughts.
“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.
