Dershowitz says it was a clear attempt at a coup

Should have public hangings over this.

Hang em all

Yeah that has been apparent for a while now...

I hope Bill Barr is mad as hell.

He’s right.

I especially like the fact that Rosenstein had a plan to wear a wire to secretly record the President in hope of entrapping him.

We need to arrest, try, and execute some traitors.

Must set examples or this will continue. There HAS to be retribution for those involved and with knowledge that did nothing. DEATH BY BONGO BONGO is the only option.

First, I want to say unequivocally that I do not believe Trump has beem “incapacitated” for purposes of the 25th at any point during nis term of office. Any attempt to misuse the 25th for entirely political purposes would have been entirely improper.

Second, Dershowitz’s statement about Woodrow Wilson was simply providing some context. From a Strict Construction perspective, the 25th is not limited to shootings or strokes or comas, etcetera. If a POTUS experiences a psychotic break and starts spending his days wandering the Rose Garden while clucking like a chicken and flapping his arms like wings, he is “incapacitated” to exactly the same extent as if he had experienced a stroke or a shooting. In that scenario, I would argue that his VP and Cabinet have an implicit DUTY to invoke the 25th.

Third, some people DID express some concern that Trump was mentally unbalanced, even if I disagree. If the VP and the Cabinet AGREED that he was mentally unstable and so-reported to Congress ... the 25th comes into play. POTUS would then declare that he is NOT incapacitated, and Congress must decide the matter. In other words, the drafters of the 25th ANTICIPATED that the 25th might be improperly invoked, and they provided a remedy.

Fourth, it would NOT be “treason” for federal officials to examine the options, if they observe irrational (and arguably psychotic) behavior in a POTUS ... especially if they determine that the 25th is NOT applicable. “Examining the options” does not give aid to America’s foreign enemies. Further, Dershowitz’s comments about “coup d’etat” were SPECIFICALLY and EXPLICITLY premised upon a “worst case scenario” (his words) in which the use of the 25th was motivated solely by political disagreement, as opposed to some physical or (implicitly) mental/emotional health “incapacity.”

Fifth, if McCabe’s story is true, he would seem to have been acting with improper motives, and it would have been entirely appropriate to remove him from office for having done so.

Exactly. McCabe is the one that that said the plan was based on the fact that Trump fired Comey and might have colluded with Russia. He should have said he thought Trump was having a mental breakdown. He committed a major crime and is admitting it on national television.
