The former deputy director of the FBI participated in discussions to stage a coup d’état to remove President Trump from office, leftist law professor Alan Dershowitz said last night.
Dershowitz leveled the charge after Andrew McCabe, the disgraced former G-man, surfaced in a preview of an interview on CBS’s 60 Minutes, during which he admitted that he and his colleagues discussed using the 25th Amendment to bring down Trump.
The amendment governs removing the president from office for reason of incapacity.
McCabe and his putative co-conspirators discussed the plan just after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey in May 2017.
McCabe’s Revelation of Possible Treason
Promoting his new book The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump, McCabe told 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley that he spoke to Trump after the president canned Comey. McCabe was concerned he would get the pink slip too, that Trump had won the election with Russian assistance, and thus he had to protect the “collusion” probe.
“I was very concerned that I was able to put the Russia case on absolutely solid ground, in an indelible fashion,” McCabe told Pelley. “That were I removed quickly, or reassigned or fired, that the case could not be closed or vanish in the night without a trace.”
But McCabe and other Deep Staters began discussing what Dershowitz called their coup.
Pelley said McCabe confirmed that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein suggested wearing a wire to record Trump, and then discussed removing Trump.
“There were meetings at the Justice Department in which it was discussed whether the vice president and a majority of the cabinet could be brought together to remove the president of the United States under the 25th Amendment,” Pelley said on CBS This Morning. “These were the eight days from Comey’s firing to the point that Robert Mueller was appointed special counsel. And the highest levels of American law enforcement were trying to figure out what to do with the president.”
