FBI Tried to Take Out Trump

It was a stunning moment. A highly placed Deep State operative told the truth.
Andrew McCabe, the former deputy director of the FBI, confessed on 60 Minutes that he, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, and others discussed invoking the 25th Amendment to the federal Constitution to overthrow the president of the United States.
The 25th enables the vice president and Cabinet to remove the president if they judge him incapable of doing his job, which is what McCabe, Rosenstein, and others were, apparently, prepared to argue, presumably because Trump is “mentally ill.” Why they would tread this rocky constitutional path is something of a mystery. After all, Trump might have obstructed justice when he fired FBI chieftain James Comey, McCabe suggested, to block the FBI’s probe into the president’s “collusion” with Russia to win the presidency. That would be an impeachable offense, as would something else McCabe suggested: that Trump was a Russian agent.
