    Nope, wrong again. They are charged with either lying or getting something wrong while doing things perfectly legal. No collusion, no conspiracy.

    Where does the 25th amendment say the FBI is party to it or has a role in it? If McCabe had the evidence he claims the constitutional course would be an impeachment.

    FBI has no role. Only the Vice President (elected) and members of the cabinet have a role in the 25th Amendment. It is exclusively their cherry of bowlies.

    McCabe is a coup monger, by his own words.

    They would still be conspirators who started the coup. Their route for the phony charges would be an impeachment, high crimes and misdemeanors. Take their evidence to the Speaker of the House. The Cabinet has no means to conduct hearings and hold a "trial" to hold hearings to weigh the evidence. That is NOT what the 25th is for but these guys wanted to bastardize the Constitution to engage in their political coup.

    Seven Days in May.

    Yep and certain not the route to take to remove a President based on alleged crimes and misbehavior. That would be impeachment.

    What would that get them? The cabinet members talk with Trump all the time already.

    The premise of your question is that they are true. His doctor says he is perfectly coherent and when did the FBI start investigating the Presidents coherence, where is their authorization to engage in such investigations on anyone. And the Russian spy thingy, that route is impeachment in public not some backdoor coup.

    The head of the FBI is not a player in the 25th nke the Deputy Director of the DOJ. Why didn't Rosenstien go to his boss, the Attorney General, if they had evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors?

    And a special prosecutor has nothing to do with impeachment

    Hardly. Their job is to investigate if there is suspicion of wrongdoing by anybody, even Trump. With all the slimy characters who surround Trump. it should surprise no one. The FBI is in place to protect all Americans.

    With the firing of Comey, it was a fear of many within the DOJ and FBI that Trump was willing to fire any who furthered the investigation into Russian collusion or interference. They installed a Special Counsel to ensure that Trump could not go on a firing spring and get the investigation shut down.

    What amazes me are the number of folks who are not concerned about Trump firing individuals in order to shut down an investigation into Russia's interference in the nation's election. And if he is innocent of any connection, he should be doing all he can to ensure the investigation is brought forward. Doesn't the president of a nation have concerns about another country interfering in an election?

    I like it just fine for it's purpose. A political coup by unelected officials is not it's purpose, why do you want to abuse it?

    It didn't shut it down and what amazes me is the number of people who thought it would. We found out long ago what the Russians did and how it was minor attempts on social media which had no effect on anything. EVERYONE wanted Comey fired, and he was properly fired for the reasons Rosenstein stated in his referral and more. In his place we got a well respected director everyone could have faith in.

    You are starting to catch on and recently McCabe admitted to an insider coup. Other FBI members have written letters to the AG to open up an investigation and there is plenty of evidence already in the public sphere but if you only listen to late night comics for your news you probably haven't heard any of it.

    Did they? No. Before ANY talk of a 25th coup they should have taken evidence of any crimes to the AG and then that to the Speaker of the House for impeachment. Why were they trying to do an end run around the proper procedure? Because they knew it was all based on a false premise and phony evidence.

    Trump himself stated that he fired Comey because of "the Russia thing". It was a quote from a televised interview. By removing the investigation from the FBI and installing a Special Counsel, they felt they were protecting it from Trump's firing tirades to come.

    What amazes me is how many people claim Trump fired Comey to interfere with the investigation, when the investigation was never interfered with. Further, it's not a criminal investigation, it's a counter intelligence investigation. The purpose of a counter-intelligence investigation is no criminal convictions, but to inform the President. There has never been any interference in that. Further, Comey is a liar and a leaker. He lied to FISC repeatedly in order to get illegal spying authority on Trump and he deliberately whitewashed the Hillary investigation. Trump lost confidence in him because he would not tell Congress and the American People, what he repeatedly told Trump, that he was NOT a target of the investigation. Now we know that the reason Comey wouldn't, was because he was repeatedly LYING to his boss, the President. Comey's a liar, McCabe is a Liar, Rat-faced Rosenstein is a liar and Jeff Sessions was useless. Trump has done the American People a great service by already removing 3 of the 4.

    Impeachment? Art. 1.

    All a special prosecutor does is investigate...they have nothing to do with impeachment. They don't even have to be appointed in cases that could arise to impeachment. Could their investigations lead to impeachment? Sure....but they have nothing at all what so ever to do with it.

    The 25th Amendment deals with the President's health....McCabe and his co-conspirators apparently were using that as a reason to get a wiretap on the President within the Oval...very alarming.
