McCabe’s Story, If True, Describes Coup Attempt on Trump, Harvard Constitutional Scholar Says
Andrew McCabe’s acknowledgment of a discussion on the use of 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump is tantamount to a coup plot, according to constitutional scholar and former Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz.
By McCabe’s own admission, he and other top FBI and Justice Department officials discussed on May 2017 whether they could get a majority of Trump’s cabinet behind the idea to use the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office.
“If that’s true, it’s clearly an attempted coup d’état,” Dershowitz told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson on Feb. 14.
McCabe, former FBI Deputy Director, tried to justify his position by the allegations that Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia and that Trump may have obstructed justice by firing FBI Director James Comey. After close to three years of multiple investigations the allegations haven’t been substantiated.
Yet Dershowitz pointed to a deeper problem—even if Trump were to commit crimes, “the 25th Amendment simply is irrelevant to that,” he said.
“That’s why you have an impeachment provision. The 25th Amendment is about Woodrow Wilson having a stroke, it’s about a president being shot and not being able to perform his office.”
He further explained that the amendment requires medical assessment and an agreement of two-thirds of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
“It has to be on the basis of a medical or psychological incapacity,” he said. “Not on the basis of even the most extreme crimes, which there’s no evidence were committed.”
According to McCabe, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein was involved in the discussions on invoking the amendment. The Justice Department pushed back in a Feb. 14 statement:
“As the deputy attorney general previously has stated, based on his personal dealings with the president, there is no basis to invoke the 25th Amendment, nor was the [deputy attorney general] in a position to consider invoking the 25th Amendment.”

Rosenstein had a strong incentive to distance himself from McCabe’s remarks, Dershowitz’s assessment suggests.
“Any Justice Department official who even mentioned the 25th Amendment in the context of President Trump has committed a grievous offense against the Constitution,” he said.
“The framers of the 25th Amendment had in mind something very specific and trying to use the 25th Amendment to circumvent the impeachment provision or to circumvent an election is a despicable act of unconstitutional power grabbing.”
“Trying to use the 25th Amendment to try and circumvent the Election is a despicable act of unconstitutional power grabbing…which happens in third world countries. You have to obey the law. This is an attack on our system & Constitution.” Alan Dershowitz. @TuckerCarlson

Investigator Investigated
McCabe played a key role in the counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign that officially started in late July 2016, in the midst of the presidential election season.
The investigation was tainted with bias and potential abuse of surveillance powers. Text messages between then-FBI Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok and his mistress, then-bureau attorney Lisa Page, demonstrated hatred toward Trump and support for Hillary Clinton. Page served as legal counsel for McCabe.
McCabe personally reviewed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) application for a warrant to spy on former Trump-campaign associate CarterNOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
ROSENSTEIN implicated ...
Quote:
Two Trump Cabinet officials were "ready to support" a DOJ scheme to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump, according to Fox News, citing closed-door testimony from the FBI's former top lawyer, James Baker - who said that the claim came from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
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. -Fox News
While Baker did not identify the two Cabinet officials, he says that McCabe and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page approached him to relay their conversations with Rosenstein, including their discussions of the 25th Amendment scheme.
"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 president’s Cabinet who were ready to support, I guess you would call it, an action under the 25th Amendment," Baker told the Congressional committees.
The 25th Amendment allows for the removal of a sitting president from office through various mechanisms - including the majority of a president's Cabinet agreeing that the commander-in-chief is incapable of performing his duties.
Rosenstein - who is slated to leave the Justice Department in the near future, has denied the claims.
Baker said McCabe was cool, calm and collected throughout the discussions, telling lawmakers: "At this point in time, Andy was unbelievably focused and unbelievably confident and squared away. I don’t know how to describe it other than I was extremely proud to be around him at that point in time because I thought he was doing an excellent job at maintaining focus and dealing with a very uncertain and difficult situation. So I think he was in a good state of mind at this point in time."
McCabe, meanwhile told "60 Minutes" in an interview set to air Sunday night that Rosenstein was concerned about Trump's "capacity."
According to McCabe, Rosenstein "raised the issue and discussed it with me in the context of thinking about how many other cabinet officials might support such an effort," adding that Rosenstein was "definitely very concerned about the president, about his capacity and about his intent at that point in time."
"Rosenstein was actually openly talking about whether there was a majority of the cabinet who would vote to remove the president?" asks CBS News anchor Scott Pelly, to which McCabe replied: "That’s correct. Counting votes or possible votes."
The New York Times first reported last year that McCabe alleged in memos that Rosenstein had talked about using the 25th Amendment to oust Trump — or wearing a wire to surreptitiously monitor the president — in the hectic days in May 2017 after Trump fired James B. Comey as FBI director. At the time, Rosenstein disputed the reporting. -WaPo
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called the 25th Amendment scheme a "bureaucratic coup" led by enemies of President Trump. On Sunday morning, Graham said he would subpoena McCabe and Rosenstein "if that's what it takes" to get to the bottom of the 25th Amendment claim.

You really have to stop doing that.
There are plenty of people who smoke marijuana who aren't Democrats.
I'd bet you'd probably shit yourself if you knew how many people you associate with actually do. Because of the stigma that it's had for the last 50 years, we tend to hide that fact from people who vocally speak against it. It's honestly quite easy to do.

Maybe you're dumb enough to not understand the following:
1. There are Potheads who do not vote Democrat.
a. There might be Potheads who vote GOP.
b. There are Potheads who cannot locate the Voting booth on Election Day.
2. There are Potheads who can sometimes find a Voting booth, and they always vote Democrap when they do.
Do you imagine group 2. Does not outnumber 1.a. Group?

Fuck you're stupid. Removing a president from office using systems included in the Constitution is, by definition, not a coup. Removing Trump from office by following the guidelines of the 25th Amendment would no more be a coup than removing him from office through impeachment or, really, than voting for another candidate in 2020. It’s part of the system.

Warren: If officials believe Trump cannot fulfill duties, they must invoke 25th Amendment
https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/warren-if-officials-believe-t
rump-cannot-fulfill-duties-they-must-invoke-25th-amendment
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Sunday in Las Vegas that Trump administration officials have an obligation to invoke the 25th Amendment if they believe the president cannot fulfill his duties.
The comment came in response to former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe telling CBS’s “60 Minutes” that then-acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had considered the idea out of concern for Trump’s “capacity and about his intent at that point in time,” referring to the days after Trump fired James B. Comey as FBI director.
“My point here is that if they believe that Donald Trump cannot fulfill the obligations of his office, then they have a constitutional responsibility to invoke the 25th amendment,” Warren, a Democratic presidential candidate, said after a rally in Las Vegas. “Their loyalty under law is not to him personally. It is to the Constitution of the United States and to the people of United States.”

I can't even describe for you how many things must have been coursing through the deputy attorney general's mind at that point. So it was really something that he kinda threw out in a very frenzied chaotic conversation about where we were and what we needed to do next.

ANDREW MCCABE: I didn't. I mean, he was discussing other cabinet members and whether or not people would support such an idea, whether or not other cabinet members would, shared, his belief that the president was—was really concerning, was concerning Rod at that time.
SCOTT PELLEY: Rosenstein was actually openly talking about whether there was a majority of the cabinet who would vote to remove the president.
ANDREW MCCABE: That's correct. Counting votes or possible votes.
SCOTT PELLEY: Did he assign specific votes to specific people?
ANDREW MCCABE: No, not that I recall.
SCOTT PELLEY: As you're sitting in this meeting in the Justice Department, talking about removing the president of the United States, you were thinking what?

Definition of coup d'état
: a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics
especially : the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group
a military coup d'état of the dictator (funny how they use this as an example)
Cooler heads are needed in this instance. No, hardly a "coup," discussion of
the proper use of the 25th Amendment - yes, but hardly a "coup." Also, I do believe that's what McCabe intimated in his 60 Minutes interview: a much-needed investigation (say, isn't Mueller conducting one as we speak?).
The Constitution is being stretched to it's limits.

Dershowitz was not merely friendly with Epstein — he also served as part of the seven-person legal team that defended the billionaire in court. The Herald reported that, as part of his defense of Epstein, Dershowitz sought to portray some of the underage girls who had accused Epstein of sex crimes — many of them near-homeless or hailing from broken homes — as unreliable witnesses. Dershowitz denied this, telling the Herald he is “not an investigator.”

How a liberal Harvard professor became Trump’s most distinguished defender on TV, freaked out his friends and got the legal world up in arms. Dershowitz was making the case that the Mueller investigation is dangerous to our entire system.
Dershowitz writes in his book, “Trumped Up: How Criminalization of Political Differences Endangers Democracy,” that special prosecutor Robert Mueller is subjecting Trump to “the legal equivalent of a colonoscopy.” The alternative explanation is that Mueller is looking for a cancer on the Presidency. If Trump doesn't have cancer, what's the problem with looking? We know why because Dershowitz also wrote, "The defendant wants to hide the truth because he's generally guilty. The defense attorney's job is to make sure the jury does not arrive at that truth."

Quote:Not true. He's not on board with Trump's declaration of national emergency.
Fuck Dershowitz, he's a fucking hack who hangs on Trump's every word to lap up like a fucking dog.
He was actually an ardent backer of Hillary and is a noted LIBERAL professor of law. Where he went "off script" - according to you- is his criticism of the Mueller probe and this whole RUSSIA!RUSSIA!RUSSIA! hysteria, which (in his opinion) is entirely cooked up and crooked. It's not that he stopped being liberal ... he believes in innocent until proven guilty, and the rights of the individual under the Constitution ... it's that YOU'VE stopped being liberal.

So JFK should have been removed from office because he was high on steroids and a sex addict, Nixon was paranoid and a drunk, Reagan was in the early stages of dementia, Bill was a serial rapist, GWB was a burned-out ex-addict and a dry drunk who was Cheney's sock puppet, and Obama suffered from the constant need to appease those in power?
Hey, most of our Presidents have suffered from one serious defect or another.
I think the real problem that the deep state has with Trump is not that he's unbalanced ... heck, they'll support all kinds of defectives and dictators as long as they're the security-state's defectives and dictators ... but that he disagrees with their goals. Look at all of the assholes who've been President without all of this active attempted removal by the media and the deep state. Was there this constant drumbeat to remove GWB despite the fact that he got us embroiled in two very expensive and counterproductive wars in the Mideast, and failed to protect us from a massive terror attack on our soil? Of course not!
But why shouldn't a President question our presence in NATO and in Syria? Is everyone supposed to fall over in obeisance to these hoary policies? I think these questions NEED to be asked, and answered with something other than RUSSIA!RUSSIA!RUSSIA! ... which is just a seriously defective dodge used to avoid discussing the issues.

It is a good thing when a politician’s career comes to an early and unexpected end. If it was clearer to these politicians that they have to either perform well or leave the office, government would run better. In 2018, Al Franken, Thad Cochran, and Jon Kyl resigned from the Senate. Ted Kennedy and John McCain should have either resigned or got booted out of the Senate rather than leave an empty space while they die of brain cancer. Spiro Agnew resigned because he was cheating on his taxes and taking bribes.

America needs a system more like a Parliament. Margaret Thatcher got booted by her own party from the premiership. They didn’t have to charge Thatcher with a crime before getting rid of her. Great Britain was tired of her and John Major could do the job for the Tories just as well for the next 8 years. V.P. Mike Pence could do Trump's job just as well for the GOP. Or we can have brain injured Trump doing a Woodrow Wilson for the final days of his Presidency. (Wilson was thinking about running again, for a third term, but his party leadership told him "NO WAY!")

SECOND, the only person who seriously defied the deep state before Tump was JFK, and look where that got him. The critical threshhold on whether the deep state and their ever-compliant M$M wants to get rid of a President (or not) is not whether he can do "the" job but whether or not he will do THEIR job.
Before we start talking about whether we should get rid of Trump, maybe we should have an objective discussion about WHAT kind of job he's doing. For all of his bluster, for example, Trump has not gotten us into any new wars and seems determined to reduce our military footprint abroad. He's gotten us out of bad "free" trade deals, and is trying to control our borders (something that our previous Presidents let slip).
OTOH, our deficit is spiralling out of control, which is a big bad; and the wealth inequality is increasing at the same rate as under Obama and GWB, also a big bad.
But I don't expect a reasoned discussion from you because you're totally irrational.

Quote:Signym, you might need to be specific about how you think JFK defied the "Deep State". Is it because Kennedy told General Curtis LeMay to either shut the fuck up about nuking Cuba or else leave the room during the Cuban Missile Crisis? But LeMay, who was always ready to firebomb women and children, was a nut. If JFK had actually been doing his job, he would have fired LeMay, but then again, if JFK wasn't such a twisted person who could be blackmailed, he would have fired FBI director J. Edgar Hoover. JFK was not a good President defying the "Deep State". If there ever was a deep state, it was Hoover:

Hoover had particularly good relationships with at least two presidents he served under: Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson. Of the others, Harry Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon all considered sacking him, but, files aside, they had good political reasons for keeping Hoover. Even in the 1960s, he had a strong public image as an honest, competent law enforcement technocrat. While his relationship with John and Robert Kennedy was often tense — yes, it was Hoover who, through wiretaps of Chicago mob boss Sam Giancana, discovered President Kennedy’s affair with mob-connected socialite Judith Campbell Exner — Hoover also could have been covering up embarrassing secrets for Camelot.
Still, Hoover built his FBI files into an intimidating weapon, not just for fighting crime but also for bullying government officials and critics and destroying careers. The files covered a dizzying kaleidoscope — Supreme Court justices such as Louis Brandeis and Felix Frankfurter, movie stars Mary Pickford and Marilyn Monroe, first lady Eleanor Roosevelt, physicist Albert Einstein, Zionist leader Chaim Weizmann and philanthropist John D. Rockefeller III, among others — often replete with unconfirmed gossip about private sex lives and radical ties.
By 1960, the FBI had open, “subversive” files on some 432,000 Americans. Hoover deemed the most sensitive files as “personal and confidential” and kept them in his office, where his secretary, Helen Gandy, could watch them. Today, with few exceptions, Hoover’s FBI files are open for any American to see at the National Archives. They make fascinating reading and paint a stark portrait of power run amok.

Quote:https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution-conan/amendment-25
Whether the Vice President would become acting President when the President became unable to carry on and whether the President could resume his office upon his recovering his ability were two questions that had divided scholars and experts. Also, seven Vice Presidents had died in office and one had resigned, so that for some twenty per cent of United States history there had been no Vice President to step up. But the seemingly most insoluble problem was that of presidential inability—Garfield’s lying in a coma for eighty days before succumbing to the effects of an assassin’s bullet, Wilson an invalid for the last eighteen months of his term, the result of a stroke —with its unanswered questions: who was to determine the existence of an inability, how was the matter to be handled if the President sought to continue, in what manner should the Vice President act, would he be acting President or President, what was to happen if the President recovered. Congress finally proposed this Amendment to the states in the aftermath of President Kennedy’s assassination, with the Vice Presidency vacant and a President who had previously had a heart attack.

Trump now is no different than when he was Elected, or campaigning. There has been no change of status.
If they claim the pretext of being crazy, he was crazy when he was Elected. Only Libtards believe that Libtards should be the sole arbiters of crazy.
When those insane Republicans formed to do away with Slavery, all the smartest Democrats knew this was a crazy Fool's Errand, the End of the Democrat way of life. When those insane Republicans decided to allow women the Right to Vote, all that smartest Democrats knew this was a crazy idea. When those insane Republicans decided to grant Civil Rights to all Races, the smartest Democrats knew it was idiotic to include Blacks. When those insane astronomers posited that the Earth was spherical, all the most highly educated Flat Earthers knew this was crazy.

You're pretty much right, I do ignore what you say - even the title of this thread is a lie. That's pretty much all you bring, so what's to "hear?" Nothing new, that's for sure. You have your yes stooges that I suppose encourage you by agreeing, but I 'm pretty sure down deep (maybe even on the surface) you know how idiotic they are.

Since you won't watch the video, the point was that the guy who was plotting a terrorist attack was saying all the things Fox put into his deranged head.
Like the bomber before him, he wanted to kill Trump's "enemies."
Fox, along with Russian trolls like yourself, purposely incites these terrorist acts.

JFK and the "Deep State" - that's a great book title, glad I thought of it.
Oh and I truly believe that J. Edgar was in total command of that little
club.
And all we're doing now is discussing who was the leader of that deep state.
Actually, in terms of foreign activities it was the Dulles brothers. The CIA was formally given a "covert action" mandate (as opposed to just spying and whispering lies into the ears of Presidents) in 1951 in their "Directorate of Plans" under Truman, who later regretted ever opening that Pandora's box.

You aren't missing much. Odd that you parrot all they say, though.
