Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein rejected allegations made by former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to CBS News that he and other officials discussed removing the president via the 25th amendment after he fired James Comey, according to a Department of Justice (DOJ) statement.
“As to the specific portions of this interview provided to the Department of Justice by 60 Minutes in advance, the Deputy Attorney General again rejects Mr. McCabe’s recitation of events as inaccurate and factually incorrect,” the statement said.
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.
These were the eight days from Comey’s firing to the point that Robert Mueller was appointed special counsel. And the highest levels of American law enforcement were trying to figure out what do with the president.
“[McCabe] is the very first person involved in these meetings who has come out and spoken publicly,” Pelley said. “They were counting noses, they were not asking cabinet members whether they would vote for or against removing the president, but they were speculating ‘This person would be with us. That person would not be,’ and they were counting noses in that effort. … This was not perceived to be a joke.”
Pelley also said McCabe told him Rosenstein offered multiple times to wear a wire in meetings with the president, and that he was so serious about it he took it to FBI lawyers.
The DOJ said in its statement “the Deputy Attorney General never authorized any recording that Mr. McCabe references.”
“Finally, the Deputy Attorney General never spoke to Mr. Comey about appointing a Special Counsel.

The weasel and the rat
Sit back and enjoy the show folks
Side-by-side trap doors.
Awwwwwwwwww Sheeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttttt..........
We got a catfight brewing. Please, Lord let McCabe have a recording of some of these conversations as he uses it as a “Get Out of Jail” card, since he should be indicted for Sedition.
Except Baker backs up Andy’s version.....

Id say Rod needs to find a new job and a great criminal defense lawyer.
RAT FIGHT!!!!!!
Murder on the Orient Express. They all did it.
Which parts are "factually" incorrect?
Like, did they plan to use bugs instead of a wire?
So two proven liars are calling each other a liar. Where’s my popcorn?
"Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz on Thursday said the Department of Justice’s discussions to employ the 25th Amendment to oust President Trump-- if true-- amounted to a coup. "
My take - Rosenstein said the words. Obviously in jest or disbelief these asshats were actually considering such nonsense. Remember, Rush is right, the Libtards do not get irony, satire, humor etc. They firmly believe when Trump joked about Russia finding Hillary’s emails, that he was actually signaling them to look for the emails. HAHAHAHAHA
The DOJ response is pure deflection.
My first thought is they did it for political reasons, but something tells me it was to save their asses, Hillary’s ass, and everybody’s ass that was involved with them in their sordid schemes. In a more enlightened age they’d be tried, convicted and judicially executed. Alas, these are benighted times.
RosenWeasel still is?
Someone who needs to be locked up...
Trap doors that drop into GITMO.
I’m inclined to believe Rosenstein over McCabe. I’ll explain later.
The thing that really stunned me was that McCabe should have felt so confident and protected that he could just come out and say that the DOJ had been conspiring to remove the President (just because they didn’t like him).
Scott Pelley, the fired anti-Trump CBS News anchor I doing his best to become the latest Dan Rather imbecile.
.……...wow, there’s a lot of BS that’s gone on since Obama hit the national stage but this coup de tat by Rosenstein et al is by far and away the most serious...………
One wonders if these young punks EVER had a history or civics class.
Lest we all forget, Rosenstein wrote the letter to the President that detailed all the reasons for why Comey should be fired. When the President then acted on that recommendation, the cabal of DOJ and FBI conspirators used the firing as an excuse to put their coup attempt into motion. IT IS A PRIMA FACIE CASE OF ENTRAPMENT OF THE NEW PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
