Former top FBI lawyer James Baker, in closed-door testimony to Congress, detailed alleged discussions among senior officials at the Justice Department about invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office, claiming he was told Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said two Trump Cabinet officials were ready to support such an effort.
The testimony was delivered last fall to the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees. Fox News has confirmed portions of the transcript. It provides additional insight into discussions that have returned to the spotlight in Washington as fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe revisits the matter during interviews promoting his forthcoming book.
Baker did not identify the two Cabinet officials. But in his testimony, the lawyer said McCabe and FBI lawyer Lisa Page came to him to relay their conversations with Rosenstein, including discussions of the 25th Amendment.
I was being told by some combination of Andy McCabe and Lisa Page, that, in a conversation with the Deputy Attorney General, he had stated that he -- this was what was related to me -- that he had at least two members of the presidents Cabinet who were ready to support, I guess you would call it, an action under the 25th Amendment, Baker told the committees.
The 25th Amendment provides a mechanism for removing a sitting president from office. One way that could happen is if a majority of the presidents Cabinet says the president is incapable of discharging his duties.

Everyone involved in this treason/sedition should be hanged on the wdc mall until the birds pick their bones clean (after arrest, fair trial and conviction, of course).
I’m leaning towards drawing and quarreling using Ford F150 pickup trucks driven by Deplorables. Hold a raffle to decide who gets to drive the trucks.
Hey, a guy can dream, right?
(I mean, it’s not something *really* cruel and unusual, like compulsory sex with Hillary.)
Doesn’t pass the “Smollett test”.
And some trees.
Ah! So now we know the real reason that Congress is pushing the anti lynching bills. To protect fellow swamp creatures.
Session is a mules back end. A total failure as AG and man. He was one also
The article speculates the two were Sessions and Kelly.
Kelly isn’t a cabinet secretary
Guantanamo would be a fitting tropical vacation for the rest of their miserable, traitorous lives.
.22 LR to the head. Cheap effective, and then send them to the rendering works to turn into fertilizer.
Nikki Haley? She never should’ve been in the cabinet. Look at how she supported those who still strive to erase Confederate history and memorials. How she supported the “Russia, Russia, Russia” mania. She’s 100% unprincipled slime. JMHO
I guess they consider the COS a “Cabinet Rank” position.
Sessions was the biggest disappointment of them all. We all got that one wrong
I agree. It’s baffling all these horrible picks. Not just horrible picks but known neverTrumpers and enemies of the President. Enemies of America first. Enemies of his agenda.
It’s like someone he trusts, who has his ear on staffing picks, is deliberately trying to sabotage his admin.
I have the same suspicion. It's pretty deep conspiracy stuff. All I will say is he should trust NO ONE except Melania!
He was DHS Secretary before he was White House Chief of Staff.
I stand corrected
Our would-be overlords arent even pretending to believe in elections or the people having any power over their governance any more. These god-complex types in the bureaucracy spent restless nights dreaming of how they can pull off a coup, just like in their beloved third-world banana republics. Thank God Trumps election has exposed the traitors in our midsts like never before.
