McCabe: DoJ Held Meetings to Discuss Removing Trump Under the 25th Amendment After Comey's Firing

[zimmer]

Reading the posts of Leftists, hopefully there are a few on that side of the isle looking at this... thinking... **** me these people on my side are rabid and whack.

Defending what McCabe revealed is simply insane.

 

[Mycroft]

You are twisting what I said.

But in the end, seeing if a completely legal and constitutional process is warranted is not undermining the president. And besides that, **** the president. They need to do what's best for the presidency, not that exact president. Big difference. If it any point the discussion veered to "I don't like the president's policies, therefor we should look at removing him via the 25th..." then I'd agree wholeheartedly that it's ****ed up and needs to be investigated. If it's simply "the president is acting irrationally, is telling everyone different things and we don't think he's mentally capable, therefor lets discuss this perfectly legal and constitutional step and see if it is warranted" then that's a whole different thing and something that we shouldn't have any problem with.

LOL!!

The ends justify any means, right? Even illegal means.

Okay.

Only In In the minds of cultists...

So what's your rational reasoning for what they did? It's certainly not because they 'felt' something about Mr Trump.

 

[GDViking]

No, but if you were in the upper levels of the top law enforcement agency in the nation and you abused your power to try and overthrow the government, that's called treason.

How can anyone in his righ mind be ok with this?

In what way did they abuse their power, they recognized a threat and responded.

There not only was nothing illegal about it, it was keeping their oath.

This is just a normal cultists defense when it is made public the FBI has a lot on trump, including mental Incompetence.

I'm thankful that we have the FBI looking out for the nation and not a party.

Okay.

How is it illegal to look at a process that's in the constitution? Are you saying it's illegal to even discuss a process that is in the constitution?

Got anything that proves he was "dangerous"? I thought not, just liberal frothing.

The actions of the FBI, the fact the CIA informed Israel not to share confidential information with him as he is compromised...

So, nothing that proves anything, just what you've heard. Thanks for confirming.

So if we are to assume (and you know the "ass-u-me" saying) that this report is correct, then it would appear true that some members of the "cabal" who opposed Trump's election were even more pro-active in trying to undermine his Presidency than we thought.

You seem to think this is a "good thing," when if taken along with the other evidence of "resistance" like the constant "leaking" by "former and current" officials, the stonewalling of the new Administration's policy efforts, and the "Insurance Policy" weaponizing "Russian interference" into an ongoing "collusion investigation" by these same "usual suspects," merely shows that Trump was correct about such conspiracies all along.

I definitely take it as a good sign. The president has been suspected from day one of colluding to swing the election and he acted like a tyrant by firing people who looked into it. That was an excellent case for the 25th on its own. Clearly the cabinet at the time did not agree.

We'll see going forward if the Mueller report (and Trump's reaction to it) provides a more compelling reason, or if some other screw up leads to impeachment instead.

 

[tres borrachos]

And with that we have the 3rd World ****hole Mentality surface.

We don't need to know your problems. If you want to talk about ****holes please call President Trump.

Umm that is far more likely for moderates to look at cultists freaking out about nothing.

Probably just trying to distract from the fact trump is about to make the largest power grab in history and grab billions for an unnecessary and unwanted wall...

 

[tres borrachos]

We would not expect anything less from the anti-Trump idiots. Trying to undo an election won by President Trump!!
But as usual they failed over and over with their sophomoric attempts.

Sorry the intelligence agencies upset you. The real Americans thank them for trying to keep us safe.

Now the house will be looking into it as well, so far more may be made public...

I'm pretty sure the AG is the head of the DOJ. Maybe you meant the head of the FBI is subordinate to the AG? Either way, my argument stands. There is nothing wrong with them discussing a perfectly legal and constitutional process. If it any point the discussion veered to "I don't like the president's policies, therefor we should look at removing him via the 25th..." then I'd agree wholeheartedly that it's ****ed up and needs to be investigated. If it's simply "the president is acting irrationally, is telling everyone different things and we don't think he's mentally capable, therefor lets discuss this perfectly legal and constitutional step and see if it is warranted" then that's a whole different thing and something that we shouldn't have any problem with.

The AG is the only Cabinet member in this discussion. Cabinet members are the only ones covered in the 25th. The entire tenor of the liberal position is exactly as you said: "I don't like the president's policies, therefor we should look at removing him via the 25th...". I have a problem with that.

opcorn2:

According to McCabe, he and others did more than "look at a process". They conspired to convince Cabinet members to remove the President.

Those high ranking officials in the FBI and DOJ are not part of the "process".

Anyone can discuss it even suggest it to those who can actually do it...

Reporting their information to cabinet members is not conspiring..

Yep, but that's different from what liberals are pushing.

 

[Mycroft]

Dude...at least read the article given by the OP before you spout nonsense.

Pelley recounted his interview with McCabe on Thursday morning: “There were meetings at the Justice Department at which it was discussed whether the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet could be brought together to remove the president of the United States under the 25th Amendment.

“These were the eight days from Comey’s firing to the point that Robert Mueller was appointed special counsel. The highest levels of American law enforcement were trying to figure out what to do with the president.”

Pelley went on to say: “McCabe is the very first person involved in these meetings who has come out and spoken publicly ... They were counting noses, not asking Cabinet members whether they would vote for or against removing the president. But they were speculating ‘this person would be with us, that person would not be.’”

He added: “This was not perceived to be a joke.”

McCabe and his cabal were NOT "reporting their information to cabinet members".

 

[noonereal]

It's not a "stupid game"; it's what you said.

It was an attempt by people in the DoJ to recruit Cabinet members to remove the President from office using the 25th amendment due to "obstruction of justice," which the 25th Amendment doesn't cover, and the DoJ had absolutely no business attempting to foment it even if it did.

Which is terrifying. It's a coup.

You say it's more frightening that the coup didn't succeed.

Your contention is asinine.

 

[noonereal]

Folks of your ilk are a serious detriment to civil society.

You actually condone the elites at the federal police and those in the “Justice Dept.” actually seeking a way to remove a duly elected president.

What power are these deranged assholes vested with to even think of doing something this sordid?

Well, we have an idea what the “insurance policy” was.

Trump has been vindicated... his campaign was spied on, the FISA Court was abused to get a warrant, and now this.

This isn’t something small, this is a Holy **** moment in American history.

What this clan tried to do makes Watergate seem like a weak fart in a Category 5 hurricane.

Your threads are the most unhinged here. Everyone here knows this.

You post as wild Trumpet all day long, this is but another.

We don't need to know your problems. If you want to talk about ****holes please call President Trump.

You voiced your opinion. It reflected that of a 3rd World ****hole politician.

Your words, reflecting your mind.

Or did someone force you to write those words?

I don't know anything about ****hole countries and ****hole country politicians. You have to ask President Trump about them. But I'm sure they're all black.

You egg them on to act like a 3rd World ****hole police state. Those assholes weren’t keeping anyone safe, they were putting out feelers for a coup.

You’re not a “real American”... you’re someone who seems to pine for seditious behavior when you don’t like the democratically elected president.

You’re a supporter of seditious ****hole country behavior. It’s on page 1 of this thread.

Why would they be all black? You a racist too?
