Andrew McCabe Confirms: Deep State Plotted To Take Down Trump
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Andrew McCabe: In pushing his new book, former FBI acting Director Andrew McCabe dropped a bombshell on CBS News. The Justice Department held meetings to consider removing President Trump from office under the 25th Amendment, after Trump fired former FBI Director James Comey for lying. If that doesn't convince you there's a Deep State, perhaps nothing will.
We have maintained since early 2017 (see here, here, here, here, and here) that the supposed "Russia-Trump collusion" was in fact engineered by the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton campaign working with Deep State officials and bureaucrats who hoped for advancement and perhaps even posts in the coming Hillary Clinton administration.
They wouldn't, of course, have to worry about rules, the law or moral propriety, since Clinton once in office would no doubt squelch any unwanted investigations.
"There were meetings at the Justice Department at 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," said CBS News' Scott Pelley, who interviewed McCabe.
And McCabe admits he began the obstruction of justice investigation against Trump, despite having virtually no evidence.
Andrew McCabe: Hobbling Trump
"The most illuminating and surprising thing in the interview to me were these eight days in May (2017) when all of these things were happening behind the scenes that the American people really didn't know about," Pelley said
Yes, and those eight days culminated in the appointment of Robert Mueller as "special prosecutor."
That ensured that no matter what happened to James Comey, Andrew McCabe or any of the others, Trump's presidency would be hobbled from the very beginning by an unjustified investigation.
This is nothing less than an attempted silent coup against a sitting president. The machinations of the FBI, CIA and Justice Department plainly indicate a conspiracy. A crime against the Constitution and the people of the U.S.
A large cast of characters ranging from presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, CIA Director John Brennan, current deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, senior Justice Department Official Bruce Ohr and his wife and sometime CIA asset, Nellie Ohr, FBI Director James Comey, FBI attorney Lisa Page, FBI official Peter Strzok, and, of course, Andrew McCabe, took part.
Deep State's Anti-Trump Collusion
They all worked together to undermine Trump using what they knew was an unreliable "dossier" based on hearsay from questionable foreign sources andpaid for by Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee. Discussions of removing a legitimate American president under the 25th Amendment shows their desperation after Trump's surprising 2016 victory.
Together, they decided that democracy was too important to be left to the people, and Trump's removal had to be stage-managed instead by them from behind the scenes.
And they lied about it. Or kept quiet about it. Or misrepresented what they did, even to the Foreign Intelligence Security Court. That is real obstruction of justice. And a real conspiracy.
Remember, the extraordinary events related by Andrew McCabe happened just months into Trump's time in office. And Comey's own perfidy took place just as Trump entered office.
This wasn't because they had evidence of a crime.
A Silent Coup?
Inside-the-Beltway elites fought to subvert the presidency of someone they, not the rest of America, deemed unfit for the presidency.
The more we learn, the more tenuous the evidence seems. And the more devious and partisan the major Deep State players seem. Is it possible the Mueller investigation has something of which no one is aware? Sure. But he hasn't shown anything yet. Nor has he even hinted he has something.
And if, indeed, he doesn't, the legal scrutiny should turn away from Trump to those who, from the apparent safety of their taxpayer-funded Deep State offices, planned to take down a president they didn't like.

Axis Annie, Tokyo Rose and Joseph Goebbels would just love this kinda stuff...
Sure, trump fired Comey for lying, that's why he bragged to the Russia Foreign Minister and the Russian ambassador visiting the white house "I just fired the head of the FBI he was crazy, a real nut job. I faced great pressure because of Russia, that's taken off."
I'm not sure if that was before or after he brag-blabbed confidential information from Israel, just among the BFF GOBs.
Some people can't see WHY trump running to Putin and having non-transcripted meetings, and kissing up to Putin so bad that the majority of the U.S. wondered what blackmail Putin has on trump and firing Comey to end the investigation MIGHT strike people as suspicious and not for the good of the U.S.
And some dips still think the investigation is because of some kind of "deep state" conspiracy?
That's sad.
If it's so fucking secret why did is in a book anyone can purchase? If it was such a conspiracy why did everyone but one guy say it was a bad idea?
More of that persecution complex.
This article displays such a total lack of understanding of our Constitution ... but that's not surprising, since Trump spits on it every day.
"Deep State" taking down the Trump?
Nah. The 'deep state' is Russia and sticking oneself to that will take you down. The Trump's wounds are self inflicted.
I find it hilarious that the title of the seed is:
andrew-mccabe-confirms-deep-state-plotted-to-take-down-trump
yet NOT ONE word FROM Andres McCabe is included in the article.
Guess the editor is too enamored with the sight of his own words...
Who is Andres McCabe?
Oh look, the typo police.
Troll elsewhere.
They would have trouble finding Trump's dick to photograph.

Have you ever posted something that has anything to do with the seed?
Says the first one that will disappear from their own seed when the fact come out
The seeder replied to Don's comment and did NOT flag it as off topic.
As the seeder, YOU have the ONLY tool available to deal with off topic comments Xx yet you replied to the comment and didn't flag it.
Dissing it DAYS later is BAD FORM.
To the author of the article and the seeder, I submit that there is one thing that you should think about before you dismiss McCabe's book.
The FBI, under Director Wray, vetted it and signed off on it's content.
Now you need to provide a link and while your'e at it, maybe you can tell us if everything McCabe is talking about, on all these left leaning news outlets, are actually in his book?
First of all Vic, I don't NEED to do shit.
Secondly, READ the thread Vic.
I haven't read the book yet. Why don't you do it and post a book report.
I'd greatly enjoy reading a factual, government document that supports your claim.
For your reading pleasure:
You're welcome.
In comment 9 , you said ...
In comment 10 , I asked you for proof.
In comment 10.1 , you gave me a 2015 FBI document. In 2015, James Comey was the FBI Director. Christopher Wray became FBI Director in August, 2017 .
You're welcome.
It may behoove you to note that the document that I linked states:
Which means it came into effect while Mueller was FBI Director and DID NOT CHANGE until 2 years after he left.
You seem to under the delusion that the Agency POLICIES under which FBI employees work change with the confirmation of a new Director.
What lead you to that uninformed and unfounded conclusion?
No matter how you try to dissect the dates in our comments/discussion thread and even throw Mueller into the mix, Christopher Wray didn't assume the office of FBI Director until August 2017. Period. Full stop.
There are a number of McCabe's co-conspirators/allies who merit the same fate. Time will tell.
It would be if it were relevant. It isn't.
On what charges?
OMG! There is something we agree on. McCabe should be indicted on lying to Congress, not once, not twice, but 3 times. Then he should have a fair trial just like several former Trump buddies did.
Lying to Congress on at least 3 separate occasions. We know of several of Trump's former buddies are have, and will, be going away for the same thing. It's only fair when others do it they get the same treatment.
Surely you aren't serious! Do you not know that McCabe lied under oath several times? Wow!
Links? Sessions didn't cite lying to Congress to justify his reasons for firing McCabe.
We know of several of Trump's former and current Cabinet that lied to Congress and haven't been prosecuted. Ironically, the guy that fired McCabe is one of them...
Since McCabe hasn't been indicted, prosecuted or found guilty of ANYTHING, I don't KNOW anything of the sort.
From CNN earlier today -
Where's the 'lied to Congress' part?
Congress/Federal Investigators. Same crime, same punishment. I don't make exceptions for party. I don't put up with it from the right, I'm certainly not going to accept it from the left.
Yes, I see that you're conflating them but the posit was that McCabe lied to Congress. Nothing you or anyone else has posted has supported that claim.
But not the same set of FACTS. Whether McCabe 'lacked candor' [which isn't necessary lying BTW] with the IG investigators is still under litigation but as I said, I haven't seem ANY allegation that he 'lied to CONGRESS'.
BTW, the link you provided states 'or Congress' and that refers to Stone and Cohen, NOT McCabe or the others listed.
Yes, I was incorrect on Congress. It was Federal Investigators. Happy?
But not the same set of FACTS. Whether McCabe 'lacked candor' [which isn't necessary lying BTW] with the IG investigators is still under litigation...
Aren't YOU happy that you are now basing your comments on facts?
As I have said multiple times, that is under litigation. Innocent until proven guilty. That's the standard right?
BTW, as I also said, 'lack of candor' isn't the same as lying. There IS an important LEGAL distinction.
Again, facts are critical, especially when making allegations.
Correct. Apparently, my documentation regarding FBI directors and when they served didn't sink in. It's OK; I made my point, and I know that my facts were accurate.
If you're talking about Wray, he WAS the Director when McCabe's book was reviewed. The policy that I linked was in effect for that review.
If proving cluelessness was the point.
