Trump: 'Disgraced' McCabe, Rosenstein look like they were planning 'very illegal act'

President Trump on Monday accused former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe of saying “so many lies” in a recent interview on “60 Minutes.”

McCabe, in a wide-ranging interview, said that while he was in the Department of Justice there were conversations among officials about the possibility of removing Trump via the 25th Amendment. He also said that he believes he was dismissed due to the probes he opened into the president.

“Wow, so many lies by now disgraced acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe. He was fired for lying, and now his story gets even more deranged,” Trump tweeted. “He and Rod Rosenstein, who was hired by Jeff Sessions (another beauty), look like they were planning a very illegal act, and got caught.”

“There is a lot of explaining to do to the millions of people who had just elected a president who they really like and who has done a great job for them with the Military, Vets, Economy and so much more,” Trump continued. “This was the illegal and treasonous ‘insurance policy’ in full action!”

……..

McCabe told CBS in a segment of an interview released last week that top Justice Department officials discussed forming an effort to invoke the 25th Amendment to force Trump out of office following former FBI Director James Comey’s firing in May 2017.

He also said Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had offered to wear a wire around the president.

McCabe later walked back those comments. A spokesperson for him said that McCabe did not “participate in any extended discussions about the use of the 25th Amendment, nor is he aware of any such discussions.”

    Since when is invoking the 25th amendment illegal? I can’t think of a better case than Trump to illustrate the reason the founding fathers put that in our Constitution. Pity that no one actually has the guts to use it.

    I guess the hard part would be to prove he is unfit for office. He has a physical once a year and the reports are glowing, but no one dares to have him undergo a mental health evaluation.
