It is intimidation for the DAJ and a Deputy Director of the FBI to even approach the Cabinet on this topic. It is mob tactics - how do you say no to a corrupt FBI and DOJ hell bent on destroying the POTUS and you standing in their way? It means they will take you out, too.
That makes this imo conspiracy to Sedition, or as Mueller has framed it in other cases “conspiracy against the United States”. They didn’t go through with it, but they conspired to do it and - theoretically according to this story - had 2 on board. You or I can talk about it all day long, but for the FBI and DOJ to scheme and count noses and possibly even solicit support from the Cabinet is too much. The 25th is the prerogative of the VPOTUS and Cabinet alone and interference from the DOJ and FBI is intimidation, obstruction and conspiracy.
