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.

RR was running a double edged scam. He was setting up DOJ/FBI criminals as well as flushing out staff weasels.
We know judging by the time frame that would indeed be Preibus and Spicer.
-SB
Sessions?
If this is indeed true, they all need to swing.
We need to se the docs, Trump need create a special commission to indict, persecute and jail all those who participated in this coup
Ahhhhhh. So, you heard it from your sister's neighbor's boyfriend's mother's babysitter's dogwalker's gardener. What more proof do you need!?
Sayyyyy, wait a minute. You don't suppose this is just another attempt to sow suspicion amongst President Trump's inner circle, do you? Nahhhhhhh.
I’ll wager that Dan Coats is one of them.
I still think he was the “anonymous” cabinet official who wrote the op-ed that said that there were “those who were working against President Trump and he was one of them.”
This person was trying to say have no fear...that there were those working within the administration who wanted President Trump to fail.
And I still think it was Dan Coats.
Faux News should change its slogan to "We Report Hearsay, You Accept It As Gospel."
Wonder if the FBI factored in how many “blades of grass” would erupt if they deposed POTUS?
“But when the New York Times broke the story in September, it reported that Rosenstein told McCabe he might be able to persuade then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions and then-Secretary of Homeland Security and later White House chief of staff John Kelly to invoke the 25th Amendment.”
The Qooks are deeply saddened.
They formally opened a case for obstruction, on direction of higher ups. Rosenstein was in on it. And you can bet the gang of 8 was kept in the loop.
Openly plotting a coup - overturning a free and fair election because they didn’t like the winner - should earn these evil globalists the death penalty or at least life without parole.

“trust Sessions”!
bwhaahaahaahaaa!
I doubt it...but even if true, I would wager they’re not there anymore.
Media could very well say “James Baker says, without evidence, two cabinet members turned on Trump.”
Spicer and Priebus.
Information waterfull.
Think bigger.
Bigger than 25th amendment attempt to remove.
The orders came from the highest office in the land.
I have family in that town.
The palace workers HATE Trump. He doesn’t cater to them, he doesn’t involve them, a lot of his personal staff is from outside the perfumed halls of power.
Trump has many faults, but this is not one that I hold against him. He has made the right enemies.
A lot of people in Taiwan are pro mainland china.
Shocking, but true. Money talks, BS walks, and the view is that the US will not protect Taiwan much longer. Heck, we can’t even keep our ships from hitting freighters.
..he was told...
Well I guess that settles it
Told by whom?
McCabe & Lisa Page
