Andrew McCabe, the former deputy director of the FBI, recounted a Justice Department plot to remove Donald Trump from office in a television interview that will air Sunday.

Previewing the next episode of '60 Minutes,' Scott Pelley, a correspondent for CBS, said Thursday that McCabe told him about a plan to approach Mike Pence, the Vice President of the United States, and ask him to invoke the 25th Amendment.

'There were meetings at the Justice Department in 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,' Pelley reported on CBS 'This Morning' on Thursday.

The journalist said the conversation took place in the eight days between Comey's dismissal and the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel.

Trump met with the Russian ambassador the day after he ousted Comey, the former FBI director, and the Russian foreign minister at the White House.

His campaign, several of his associates, including his one-time National Security Advsior Michael Flynn, were under federal investigation for improper contacts during the election with Russia at the time.

Hi Philip,

So ......... a 'conspiracy' - i.e. plans to invoke the law to have Trump removed - was not just real but quite justified with the information that the FBI had at the time ?

What with Manafort, etc., etc., having been found guilty of conspiring with the Russians, apparently on behalf of Trump and his business interests in Russia, would you say that MORE evidence has surfaced to justify that FBI 'conspiracy' rather than less ?

Try this: if Obama and his associates had been implicated in dealings with Russia along the same lines, would you dismiss any 'conspiracy' as 'fake news' ? Or would Karl Rove have wet himself in celebration of such a treasure trove of felonies ?

Cheers,

Joe

the unhinged pussy heads have no conspiracy. They straight out demonise, lie and misrepresent. Only the blind can't see that.

Quote "was not just real but quite justified with the information that the FBI had at the time ?"

The origin of the information was suspect.

Conspiracy. An agreement between two or more persons to commit a crime or accomplish a legal purpose through illegal action.
They did not have prima facie evidence.

Nearly a year after their colleagues in the House reached a similar conclusion, the Senate Intel Committee said on Tuesday that it was preparing to conclude its investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia after finding - get this - no direct evidence of a conspiracy, according to NBC News.

The investigation is coming to a close after 2 years and more than 200 interviews. Senate Intel Committee Chairman Richard Burr said the decision to end the probe was made after the committee started running out of new questions to ask.

"If we write a report based upon the facts that we have, then we don't have anything that would suggest there was collusion by the Trump campaign and Russia," said Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, in an interview with CBS News last week.

Burr was careful to note that more facts may yet be uncovered, but he also made clear that the investigation was nearing an end.
"We know we're getting to the bottom of the barrel because there're not new questions that we're searching for answers to," Burr said.

Hey Philip S,
Basically it was a soft coup by the deep state to remove a sitting President, no less.
But it's nothing we didn't already know anyway.

The end of the Russia probe is not the end of it for Trump.
They're just changing tactics, from here they will go after anyone that ever had anything to do with Trump;
And anything they find will be used as leverage for 'someone' to say Trump did 'something'.

Too many think the politicians have all the power, but in this case the bureaucrats were the driving force, manipulated by the one who want owg.

Politicians come and go bureaucrats can make monumental mistakes and still survive most of the time.
