Trump Slams McCabe & Rosenstein Over “Treasonous”, “Very Illegal” Plan To Secretly Record President

Via ZeroHedge

During an interview that aired in full on CBS last night, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe – who was famously fired just hours before qualifying for his pension due to what the DOJ inspector general described as “unauthorized leaks to the press” – McCabe insisted that Rod Rosenstein was “absolutely serious” when he asked senior Trump administration officials to clandestinely record their conversations with the president in preparation for removing him under the 25th amendment – a plan that has been derided as an attempted coup by family members and allies of the president.

McCabe

Clearly displeased with McCabe’s revelations, Trump lashed out at again on Twitter, accusing him of telling a “deranged” story and plotting “a very illegal act”.

Trump added that McCabe has “a lot of explaining to do to the millions of people who had just elected a president who they really like”. He added that this was “the illegal and treasonous” insurance policy “in action…”

…Before doubling down on accusations that McCabe and Rosenstein participated in an “illegal coup attempt.”

LOL. You’ve got better odds of shoving a bottle rocket in your ass and flying yourself to the moon than Trump doing anything to the deep state more than sending out spicy tweets.

The Donald has half the country just where he wants us: sitting on the edge of our seats, waiting for the final act, with no clue as to how it will end. The guy truly is multi-dimensional, even if he sometimes is a fruit cake. Personally, I am one of those oddballs who sort of likes eating a piece or two of the stuff when is shows up on the kitchen counter; never cared for eggnog, though.

The other half: over in the corner playing with themselves and feeling sorta guilty about it.

18 U.S. Code § 2384. Seditious conspiracy

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

There, of course, needs to be a special counsel appointed – to dig through this stuff, with the same sort investigative scope employed by Mueller (i.e. unlimited scope).

THE 25th amendment is there, for and only for, the wellness/sickness provision of removing a President. Regarding criminality only Congress can use the impeachment process to remove a sitting President for criminal acts. WTF is the police state, F fucking B fucking I doing polling cabinet members in regards to them voting to utilize the 25th to remove a sitting president because they did not like him and the entire freak show bullshit paid pee pee dosier was paid for by trump opposition and campaign opponent Hitlery. They have zero business meddling in that shit and they should all be hung for treason. They could have simply referred any criminality to Congress for impeachment but after 2+ years still nothing and no collusion and all people convicted were for process crimes and fucking zero to do with Trump and all were past crimes or process crimes as a gotcha because they were being honest and truthful and trying to help when they gave answers. They were told their second answers to same questions were lies therefore a process crime and Were indicted and convicted. That is called a fucking witch hunt. We should take notice there is a deep state and a corrupt second system and the coup is real. I assume our three letter agencies are so adept and complacent at removing leaders they dislike in banana republics they thought they could use the same tactics here. They forget we are a Republic and the people are a real and serious force to be dealth with. They have not even awakened the beast yet….my fear is when Trump is out the beast shall become wide assed awake and it will not end well for anyone on either side. WHen shit flings everyone gets dirty. They are trying and will succeed at tearing this nation in two, until the people win and take it back and mend it for all of history to remember; and a extremely large price will be paid to them so generations will remember. Nobody lives forever, these people tearing this country apart need to remember, tempus fugit, momento mori. You cannot take anything with you. I dont trust people that do not have their own offspring. They have nothing good to work towards to leave behind. Many of these people are not heterosexuals and are satanist pedophiles. They are selfish bastards in it for their one life on earth all for themselves. Beware of these sociopaths.

Monday, rant over…….
