    The vice president and cabinet have constitutional remedy if they choose to employ it.

    Why yes. Yes they did. Watch the interview. McCabe admits it, repeatedly.

    That seems to be a political complaint. Can you find it in the law to demonstrate where this then is actionable?

    False.

    Trump himself said he fired Comey because of this "Russian thing"......

    How exactly could the FBI invoke the 25th Amendment by themselves?

    That would be as idiotic a move a Trump thinking he can usurp Congress's power of the purse...

    McCabe had a wild hunch that Trump was tied in with the Russian government.

    McCabe was wrong. He should pay a very high price for that.

    only if, IF, the vice prez brings the action... without the vice prez, congress can't do squat with the 25th

    I just seems that from the big picture view, and when you include everything that is known about particular people in the FBI, in high positions, in regards to taking trump down, that looks like a banana republic conspiracy. and throwing in the separate idea of the 25th in no way changes what was going on. Does the constitution specify who can exercise the 25th? Yep. And it ain't the FBI, who looks to have been in some sort of coup, against an elected president, based upon nothing that passes the smell test.

    I didn't know the constitution made a coup legal, conducted by the FBI, or perhaps even the military, like they do in 3rd world sh*holes.

    The enforcement of the law and how to allocate the limited personnel resources of a federal agency is well within the power of the Executive Branch per the Constitution.

    Who was gonna approve it? There is no legal bases for the fbi to get a wire for the 25th.

    Sure.

    Trump has six federal investigations on his hands, Mueller's is only one of many.

    There were seven two months ago, but Trump agreed to dismantle his fake charity foundation before being charged with fraud by the New York Superior Court.

    Trump is a criminal and he's going to end up in jail..... even though the Trumpsters are screaming 24 hours a day that it's a huge plot from the left.

    I did..he said he never felt any obstruction from the president.

    The bases is clearly outlined in the memo from DOJ and not to mention the cries from all the Dems in Congress

    Is there a legal basis for the FBI to get a wire if a US citizen might be an agent of a foreign power?

    Yes, Trump had been lied to by the cabal saying he wasn't under investigation so Trump wanted Comey to announce that. Instead he leaked possibly classified information to the press to push his own agenda. Comey did everything he could to get fired.

    If Pence and several cabinet members wanted to overthrow Trump, you Trumpsters would do as usual: pretend it is a coup and call all the President's opponents RINO.

    You mean ignoring the law and making up your own. Not in the constitution.

    Deep state coup? Seriously?

    If a counter intelligence team is suspecting that any POTUS may be under influence of a foreign country - a combative country - shouldn't they open an investigation? Isn't that their job? Or would you prefer an FBI that simply follows the orders of POTUS, even if POTUS is suspected of being compromised?

    Hmm... so all of that non congressionally mandated money that went to support that executive decision... that was just "oh don't look there" cause it undercuts your assertion... right?

    How is it ignoring the law to prioritize the limited number of ICE agents towards illegal immigrants who are actual threats to Americans? Does the agency have enough agents that they can be allocated to every illegal immigrant in the country?

    Did Obama change the money allocated to ICE? Or did he prioritize its manpower allocation towards targets that are actually worth the expense?

    not at all... if the vice see's fit to do so, then sobeit... the 25th also allows the prez to counter it with a simple statement "i am fit and therefore i'm remaining as prez", and just like that he's back in... then the vice has 48 hours to submit irrefutable proof of the prez's 'unfitness' which would require medical exams (imo), if not done so the coux attempt ends...

    EDIT: the remaining question is, does the 25th allow for unlimited attempts to overthrow a prez? if so, we're in for a giant circle jerk for 2 years...

    Sorry, which one of those was the predicate of the McCabe apoplexy again? Cause none of those were question of actual foreign governmental compromise, were they? So, why assert something to patently false? It sounds, well, creepy...
