Andrew McCabe: In
pushing his new book, former FBI acting Director Andrew McCabe dropped a
bombshell on CBS News.
The Justice Department held meetings to consider
removing President Trump from office under the 25th Amendment, after Trump
fired former FBI Director James Comey for lying. If that doesn't convince you
there's a Deep State, perhaps nothing will.
We have maintained since early 2017 (see here, here, here, here, and here) that the supposed "Russia-Trump
collusion" was in fact engineered by the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton campaign working with Deep
State officials and bureaucrats who hoped for advancement and perhaps even
posts in the coming Hillary Clinton administration.
They wouldn't, of course, have to worry about rules, the
law or moral propriety, since Clinton once in office would no doubt squelch
any unwanted investigations.
"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," said CBS News' Scott Pelley, who interviewed McCabe.
And McCabe admits he began the obstruction of justice
investigation against Trump, despite having virtually no evidence.
Andrew McCabe: Hobbling Trump
"The most illuminating and surprising thing in the interview
to me were these eight days in May (2017) when all of these things were
happening behind the scenes that the American people really didn't know
about," Pelley said
Yes, and those eight days culminated in the appointment
of Robert Mueller as "special prosecutor."
That ensured that no matter what happened to James Comey,
Andrew McCabe or any of the others, Trump's presidency would be hobbled from
the very beginning by an unjustified investigation.
This is nothing less than an attempted silent coup against
a sitting president. The machinations of the FBI, CIA and Justice Department
plainly indicate a conspiracy. A crime against the Constitution and the people
of the U.S.
A large cast of characters ranging from presidential
candidate Hillary Clinton, CIA Director John Brennan, current deputy Attorney
General Rod Rosenstein, senior Justice Department Official Bruce Ohr and
his wife and sometime CIA asset, Nellie Ohr, FBI Director James Comey, FBI
attorney Lisa Page, FBI official Peter Strzok, and, of course, Andrew
McCabe, took part.
Deep State's Anti-Trump Collusion
They all worked together to undermine Trump using what
they knew was an unreliable "dossier" based on hearsay from
questionable foreign sources and paid for by Hillary Clinton and the
Democratic National Committee. Discussions of removing a legitimate American
president under the 25th Amendment shows their desperation after Trump's
surprising 2016 victory.
Together, they decided that democracy was too important
to be left to the people, and Trump's removal had to be stage-managed instead by them from
behind the scenes.
And they lied about it. Or kept quiet about it. Or
misrepresented what they did, even to the Foreign Intelligence Security Court.
That is real obstruction of justice. And a real conspiracy.
Remember, the extraordinary events related by Andrew
McCabe happened just months into Trump's time in office. And Comey's own
perfidy took place just as Trump entered office.
This wasn't because they had evidence of a crime.
A Silent Coup?
Inside-the-Beltway elites fought to subvert the
presidency of someone they, not the rest of America, deemed unfit for the
presidency.
The more we learn, the more tenuous the evidence seems.
And the more devious and partisan the major Deep State players seem. Is it
possible the Mueller investigation has something of which no one is aware?
Sure. But he hasn't shown anything yet. Nor has he even hinted he has
something.
And if, indeed, he doesn't, the legal scrutiny should
turn away from Trump to those who, from the apparent safety of their
taxpayer-funded Deep State offices, planned to take down a president they
didn't like.
