McCabe: Rosenstein thought 2 Cabinet members could support bid to oust Trump
MSN News ^ | February 21, 2019 | Jake Gibson

Former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe said Thursday that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein told him during a 2017 meeting that he thought two Cabinet members might support efforts to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office.

Fox News on Sunday reported similar comments from former top FBI lawyer James Baker, who claimed Rosenstein said two Cabinet members were “ready to support” such an effort. In a previous interview promoting his new book, McCabe said Rosenstein discussed the possibility of Cabinet members supporting the 25th Amendment idea, without getting into specifics.

"McCabe is now under investigation by the Washington U.S. Attorney's Office for leaking information to that reporter. McCabe's lawyer, Michael Bromwich, on Thursday confirmed that investigation is still ongoing."

Hopefully, both McCabe and Rosenstein will spend the rest of their lives in prison.

The question is, who are the two cabinet member?

My guesses are Tillerson and Mattis.

McCabe replies: If you want to know who the two Cabinet Members are, that would have supported my bid to oust President, you can find out in my New Book!**

**Provided those Deplorables don’t leak anything!”

What was McCabe’s and others at that DOJ management level position beside silence in the Obama regime. As Obama engaged in stimulating racial division using the Bully Pulpit defending those engaged in criminal activity. Encouraging resistance to arrest which resulted into attempts to take a LEO’s gun. Wound up in a series of Law Enforcement Officers murders assaults and revenge killings of any non black innocent persons wandering in or near “hoods” by black gangs after the Zimmerman and riots after the Ferguson Missouri trials?.

Interesting as apparently McCabe had opened an investigation on him too.

The Court of St. James had nothing on this palace intrigue.

What needs to happen at FBI HQ is what happened at Stasi Headquarters just after the wall came down.

Another question:
After realizing that 2 Cabinet members would not be enough to guarantee removal of the President, did he discuss the possibility of a Backup Plan to smuggle a weapon under his trousers into the White House to assassinate the President?

McCabe is John Wilkes Booth and Fredo Rosenstein will be a man without a country. Rosenstein failed to kill the king. And there will be coup investigation by the Justice Dept.

Has anybody asked these people why they would use the 25th amendment. Were they thinking Trump was mentally incapable? Or was it just the fact they didn’t like him?

This, once again, is a total distraction. What McCabe thought; or what Rosenstein said or what McCabe said to RR or what RR said to McCabe or what any of them had for breakfast is a complete and total nothing. Because nothing ever occurred from it! It is an indication of mindset, perhaps, but it is a classic Darrel Issa line of questioning. You ask the question. The answer comes back is some ephemeral, spun fashion. And now you only have another question, that question being “so did McCabe DO anything about it?” and you have learned utterly nothing.

What McCabe ACTUALLY DID was to authorize or otherwise ratify the continued renewal requests for FISA warrants against “people in the Trump campaign” aka Papadoulous and Carter Page, SPECIFIC ACTIONS that he authorized AFTER he knew the dossier was not only unverified but positively discredited.

He lies about everything, I wouldn’t wipe my ass with the pages of his book and anyone who believes anything he says is an idiot.

“The question is, who are the two cabinet member? “

It has already been reported that the two were Sessions and Kelly. I haven’t seen it in writing yet though. It was someone on FNC who I took as credible (can’t remember name)

Kelly wasn’t a cabinet member, so either McCabe is lying or he’s competing with AOC for the title of the dumbest person in Washington not named Maxine Waters.

“Kelly wasn’t a cabinet member”

True. His vote to remove wouldn’t count.
