Graham says he'll probe 25th Amendment discussions between McCabe, Rosenstein

Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham is demanding answers from the Justice Department about former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s explosive allegation that top officials there discussed invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office.

In a letter to Attorney General William Barr on Friday, Graham said that his panel intended to investigate the allegations and gave Barr a two-week deadline to turn over any documents relating to conversations between McCabe and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein about the 25th Amendment or about covertly recording Trump.
Last month during a media blitz to promote his new book, McCabe said that following the abrupt firing of FBI Director James Comey, Rosenstein had offered to wear a wire into the White House and had additionally thrown out the idea of whether Trump could be removed from office using the 25th Amendment.
McCabe was fired from the FBI last year a day before he was set to retire after DOJ’s internal watchdog alleged he had inappropriately allowed sensitive information to be shared with a reporter and lied to investigators.
In a “60 Minutes” interview McCabe described Rosenstein’s suggestions, which he has repeatedly and adamantly denied, in the context of the frenzied days after Trump abruptly fired Comey but insisted that while neither proposal went anywhere, Rosenstein was “absolutely serious” about his wiretap suggestion.
The New York Times had previously reported on the incident, resulting in Rosenstein preparing to step down from his post over the allegations.
McCabe’s disclosure last month that Rosenstein reportedly mulled which Trump Cabinet members would vote to remove the president reignited the issue among conservatives and Trump himself, who seized on the allegations as proof of a “deep state” looking to undermine Trump.
“The committee is deeply concerned with these discussions and whether they essentially indicate that two of the highest ranking law enforcement officials in the United States were discussing what amounts to a coup against the President,” Graham wrote in his letter Friday.
Graham asked Barr to turn over any memos from McCabe relating to his allegations, including any from meetings between McCabe and Rosenstein during the time before special counsel Robert Mueller's appointment, any relating to opening an obstruction of justice investigation into the president, any DOJ opinions relating to the 25th Amendment, and the documents used to form the basis for McCabe's dismissal last year.



It is about time the weaponized FBI hierarchy stood before an investigative panel and answered for their political machinations.

This should be great Fun- and Barr will forward the information.

Perhaps some of the DPST snakes will get burned.

You are correct my friend. It will be interesting once we find out what Trump got on Graham. Graham totally flipped. He reminds me of that Senator in the Godfather movie

Oh my - someone posted a link without "Poo"
A great achievement - When will SomeOne discover TP?
one would think all americans of every stripe, lovers of nation and constitution (perhaps I just stumbled upon the salient point of deviation), would be concerned with an attempted coup d'état by a group of partisan snots of a duly elected president

and to expose and prosecute these conspirators so that never again will it happen

but no, seems a bit too much to ask

but then again, given all they and their party rail against and strive for, its not surprising

Shoe is on the other Foot - the Right Foot
DPST's are Outraged that their own tactics can be used against them.
Their poor little Feelings are Offended.
Time to Investigate one of the greatest criminals of all time- Billary - and watch the DPSTs scatter from support of their favorite Wallaby!

The salient point is that no coup d'etat was attempted. Just because someone talked about it doesn't make it illegal. I'm sure that Mr Graham's investigation is not going to turn up proof of any actionable items. I'm also sure that Mr Graham will beat his chest and make the most of this molehill to try and shift focus away from the soon to be released Mueller report.


The house voted 420 to 0 to release the report and Graham blocked it in the Senate.

If a Trump partisan tried those conversations against a DPST POTUS - all the DPST's would be up in Arms for investigation and prosecution.

DPST's want a pass for hillary's crimes and all DPST related crimes.

Ain't gonna work that way
Time to ride the JackAss, DPST's.
