I’d bet you could find two there now. Never-Trumpers are like germs they’re all over.

Well, I hope (assuming the story to be true) that the two are among those who have already been fired.

And that they will be kept away from any of the halls of power forevermore.

And that eventually they will be known to the public and live in disgrace for the rest of their lives.

And would it be too much to hope that they will be caught in some actual crimes and see some serious prison time?

The Turtle ‘s wife, Elaine Chao, Sec Transportation. Family is Chinese and probably told her to take Trump out. Family build ships and makes big dollars. Chai gets my vote.

> Baker did not identify the two Cabinet officials <

Thus making the whole article worthless speculation at best, and an outright lie at worst.

And on a related note, my sources within the NFL tell me that two Patriot players are plotting to have Coach Belichick replaced by Jussie Smollett. I am not free to identify those two players.

Former top FBI lawyer James Baker, in closed-door testimony to Congress, detailed alleged discussions among senior officials at the Justice Department about invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office, claiming he was told Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said two Trump Cabinet officials were “ready to support” such an effort.

So Baker said, that Rosenstein said, that two cabinet members said...

That's pretty thin hearsay evidence.

And yet we have people on this thread who are posting like they believe as fact, that two cabinet members were ready to invoke the 25th.

Geez.

And once again, where the f*** was Jeff Sessions during all this?

The Keebler Elf was a deep-state plant, a compromise candidate, and certainly not Trump’s first, second, or third choice for AG. His flimsy, BS recusal allowed all this to go forward. Sessions knew exactly what he was doing.

Well, if he (Baker)’s lying, he’s perjured himself.

How do you know when the media is biased and pushing a knowingly false (fake) narrative?

Disinformation campaign designed to buy ‘them’ more time by attempting to ‘con’ enough people in order to remove the duly elected POTUS in order to ‘save’ themselves from prosecution.

Enemy of the People.

“But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.” - 2 Thessalonians 3:3
“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” - Psalm 46:1
“And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.” - Matthew 6:13

Buckle up!
