Here is you coup

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politi...z&ocid=U221DHP


President Trump woke up at his private club in Florida on Monday and watched just enough Fox News to lift up a quote making an unfounded allegation that someone had attempted a coup against him.
Then he went to play golf for the third day in a row.

This, in the eyes of Bongino and other Fox News pundits in recent days, was an attempted coup.
It wasn't.
First of all, removing a president from office using systems included in the Constitution is, by definition, not a coup. Removing Trump from office by following the guidelines of the 25th Amendment would no more be a coup than removing him from office through impeachment or, really, than voting for another candidate in 2020. It’s part of the system.
But, second, it’s not as though Rosenstein could simply have stepped up to a microphone and announced that the president was no longer president, any more than Michael Scott’s declaration of bankruptcy in “The Office” was sufficient for that task.
We’ve outlined this before. For a president to be removed from office under the mechanism included in the amendment, one of two things has to happen.
  • A majority of the Cabinet and Vice President Pence must agree that Trump is unfit for office, or
  • Pence and a commission established by Congress (which doesn’t currently exist) would have to reach a similar agreement.
If such an agreement is met, a letter is sent to Congress and Trump is out.


That, by itself, gives the lie to Bongino’s lazy allegation. If Rosenstein asked half the Cabinet and Pence to oust Trump and they agreed, it’s hard to see how the culpable party was Rosenstein. These are people chosen by Trump! His removal would be on their hands.
But what’s more, Trump would have a mechanism to respond. He could simply send a letter to Congress saying that he is fit for office, and he is then reinstated. Some coup.
If, however, Pence and the Cabinet members still think Trump is unfit, the question would go to Congress, where two-thirds majorities in each chamber would have to agree. So that’s half the Cabinet, the vice president and scores of lawmakers who would ultimately need to declare that Trump should be removed from office before it could happen. (At the time of Comey’s firing, that hurdle was much higher, with Republicans in control of both chambers of Congress.)

Are you ignorant of the fact that their investigation of Trump did not come out until AFTER the election. If they were trying to hurt Trump and get Clinton elected , don't you think this information would have hurt Trump BEFORE the election.

Where the fuxk has common sense gone in this country.

Bunch of nlind sheep bleeting in lockstep with Trump.

Annoying as fuck...

Afterwards it's all been for vengeance that he actually won, in the hopes of getting him out.
