If McCabe is to be believed, it sounds as if Rosenstein was simply “brainstorming“ about ways in which a hypothetical Russian agent president could be removed quickly and easily, as compared to the time-consuming process of impeachment.


Why would they do this when they knew there was no connection to Russia?

They are the ones that “Trumped” up the charges.

They were spying on Trump.

The only collusion with Russians were DOJ, FBI, HRC, Dems.

When?

Attempted murder means they would acted on trying to kill somebody. Not talking or thinking about it.

When was there an attempted coup?

Plus, Bill Clinton had already accepted half a million dollars from Russia so that his wife could help the Russians get their hands on our uranium. If they truly wanted to investigate a Russian connection, they could have started here.

In this case, the investigation was started, but not concluded. I don't know how it could possibly be categorized as a coup attempt.

Apparently they decided Trump wasn't insane enough to use the 25th amendment remedy.

So what if this isn't technically an attempted coup. The Deputy AG suggested to FBI and DOJ higher ups that the President be wiretapped in conjunction with a Section 4, 25th Amendment claim, despite the fact that DJT was neither mentally nor physically incapacitated. They then fed this info to their media allies who ran with the story. These people believe themselves to be untouchable. It's absolutely despicable.

They made up a fake dossier and went to the FISA court numerous times, even after knowing it was fake.
They wire tapped and unmasked U.S. Civilians.
They used foreign agencies to spy on Americans.
They sent Russian agents to the Trump tower meetings in order to entrap Trump Jr.
How would you describe all of this?

again, the McCabe interview is all we have to analyze at this point.

McCabe did NOT say that Rosenstein often offered to wear a wire in support of the 25th amendment scenario. He simply said that it occurred during the same conversation, in which Russian collusion/agency was also discussed. It seems more likely that the “wire” Was related to the Russia issue, instead.

They just said on Fox that the offer to wear a wire was in relation to Obstruction of Justice for firing Comey.

So not the 25th or Russia.

Sounds like RR was gonna try to get Trump to admit he fired Comey because of the Russia investigation.

If any of you know nothings want to get an idea what a real coup attempt would look like you should read Seven Days in May.
Hint: It's more involved than a few goof balls yapping about the 25th.

If you think this is all that was happening, you are clueless. Everyone was involved from Obama on down.

Coup definition is: the overthrow of an existing government

The investigation is bad for the country. It doesn’t matter who started the investigation or how it was started. This was not a coup on the US government.

Talking about the 25th Amendment is bad but not a attempted coup.

Leaking info is bad but not a attempted coup

When dossier info was leaked Trump was not President yet. A McCain aide leaked it in December 2016. Still not a attempted coup even if Trump would have been president.
