McCabe book and interview reveal shocking rogue deep state bias against Trump
Fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe revealed Thursday that he initiated the obstruction of justice and counterintelligence probes against President Trump in 2017, saying he feared the president had been compromised by Russia.
Then, during an interview on CBS’s “60 Minutes,” he said there was talk at the Justice Department of recruiting Cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove the president from office. He said Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein did suggest wearing a wire to gather dirt on the president.
“I was speaking to the man who had just run for the presidency and won the election for the presidency and who might have done so with the aid of the government of Russia, our most formidable adversary on the world stage,” McCabe said in an interview clip released Thursday.
Roger Kimball summarized some of McCabe’s book this way: “There follows a few hundred words of brow-wrinkled prose about their ‘so alarmed,’ ‘dire concerns’ that the President had just fired their guy, FBI director James ‘higher loyalty’ Comey, that they got together and wondered how they could entice the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet to collude (ooo, there’s that word!) to invoke the 25th Amendment and jettison a guy they didn’t approve of.”

The White House and the Justice Department denounced McCabe’s allegations.
“Trying to use the 25th Amendment to try and circumvent the Election is a despicable act of unconstitutional power grabbing…which happens in third world countries. You have to obey the law. This is an attack on our system & Constitution. Alan Dershowitz. @TuckerCarlson” – Trump tweeted.
“Disgraced FBI Acting Director Andrew McCabe pretends to be a ‘poor little Angel’ when in fact he was a big part of the Crooked Hillary Scandal & the Russia Hoax – a puppet for Leakin’ James Comey,” the president tweeted Thursday morning.
South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said McCabe’s interview was more evidence of “bias against President Trump.”
McCabe is also part of the cover-up of investigators having an affair and exchanging texts/emails full of anti-Trump hatred: fired FBI Agent Peter Strzok and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page.
The Justice Department released a statement rebutting that, saying Rosenstein “never authorized any recording that Mr. McCabe references.”
“As the deputy attorney general previously has stated, based on his personal dealings with the president, there is no basis to invoke the 25th Amendment, nor was the DAG in a position to consider invoking the 25th Amendment,” the department said.
Mark Meadows, chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, called for Rosenstein to resign from office Thursday and reappear before Congress and testify in light of McCabe’s claims.
“Rod Rosenstein has no business working at the Department of Justice, and if these latest reports are true, he should not only resign immediately but come before Congress and answer questions,” Meadows tweeted.
Rush Limbaugh offered up his theory: Democrats went rogue under the Obama administration and investigated the political campaign of Donald Trump (using a Hillary Clinton funded dosier to get a FISA warrant) to cover up their own misdeeds and stay out of jail.
He said the “express purpose” of Robert Mueller’s special counsel investigation was to create “a gigantic distraction.”
“It was two-pronged. It was to get rid of Trump. It was to create public opinion that Trump is illegitimate, illegal, unseemly, unfit, while distracting everybody from what really happened,” Limbaugh said.
“I don’t think these people ever thought that they would be prosecuted or caught, but I think that that’s largely what the ‘backup plan’ was. And it’s gonna require an investigation by the Department of Justice of itself to find out what went on here.”
