McCabe says Trump comments were taken out of context
NY Post ^ | 2/15/19 | Bob Fredericks

**SNIP**

CBS reporter Scott Pelley, who interviewed McCabe for Sunday’s “60 Minutes,” said Thursday that McCabe told him using the 25th Amendment was discussed and that officials were “counting noses” — or speculating on who might support such an endeavor.

“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,” Pelley said.

“And the highest levels of American law enforcement were trying to figure out what to do with the president.”

In the interview, McCabe also confirmed that he took Rosenstein’s offer to wear a wire when meeting with Trump in the White House so seriously that he discussed the idea with agency lawyers.

“At no time did Mr. McCabe participate in any extended discussions about the use of the 25th Amendment, nor is he aware of any such discussions,” his spokeswoman, Melissa Schwartz, said in a statement on Twitter, adding that his remarks about the issue were taken out of context.

Are those comments in his new book?

An unelected bureaucrat at a federal police agency decides that he and other unelected bureaucrats are going to use their positions to overturn the election decision of the American people. In 1917, the Bolsheviks after taking over Russia made good on their pledge to hold an election; Lenin’s group of thugs got all of 17 percent of the national vote. The results of the election were cancelled and there was never another honest vote held while they held power. Is there really much difference between the Bolsheviks and this gang of faceless, self-important grey crooked bureaucrats at the FBI trying to cook the election for Hillary, dispensing unequal justice in their treatment of Hillary and Trump, conspiring to overturn a national election, and deciding just who is fit to be the chief executive?? I saw Trump at his press conference yesterday; an on your feet, no notes, presentation that would shame most trained trial lawyers, great knowledge of the facts and very deft handling of his obvious enemies, the press. And McCabe and his gang wanted to overthrow him? McCabe can’t even remember what he wrote in his book.

This fact was determined by 9 pm on election night

Note the weasel word “extended.” McCabe admits that he participated in such discussions. They just weren’t “extended” ... which has no legal meaning.

Peter Strzok: “No. No he won’t. We’ll stop it.”

The effin’ liars were out for ‘blood’. They wanted to remove him by any means necessary.

After she was told the media would not announce her the winner but would say she won the popular vote. Imho I doubt hitlery received 1 vote in 4 nationwide

Are those comments in his new book?

My thought as well, and if those comments are not in his new book, what would be the point of the book to begin with?

Something is so wrong mentally with this guy it’s almost beyond belief. I really find it hard to believe that someone this stupid was ever in charge of anything beyond a small business picking up dog shit - he’s a former high level DOJ official? IMPOSSIBLE

“And the highest levels of American law enforcement were trying to figure out what to do with the president.”

If he actually said that, then those “highest levels” need to be rooted out completely.

“What to do with the president”? That is treason and I know treason when I see it.

“Hillary and the Dems were never going to beat the PASSION of my voters. They saw what was happening in the last two weeks before the,” Trump wrote, omitting the word “election” between the two posts he wrote on the issue. “And knew they were in big trouble - which is why they cancelled their big fireworks at the last minute. THEY SAW A MOVEMENT LIKE NEVER BEFORE.”

“Various media outlets and pundits say that I thought I was going to lose the election. Wrong, it all came together in the last week and I thought and felt I would win big, easily over the fabled 270 (306)...When they canceled fireworks, they knew, and so did I.”

If I recall correctly, it was a day or two prior to the election.

There was also a FReeper [claiming to be a REALTOR] posting in the few days running up to the election that individuals looking to purchase property in the DC area (NOVA) expecting to be on the payroll for Herself - stopped their searches and backed away from offers to purchase....indicating at least a few within her inner circle read the tea leaves.
