25th Amend. Talk Isn't The Real Scandal. The Spygate Coup Attempt Is

Last week when Andrew McCabe launched his Orange Man Bad tour, he stunned the public with claims that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein suggested using the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office.

The true scandal is not the swirling gossip that Rosenstein mentioned the 25th Amendment, but what has been front and center for more than two years: It's the dossier, stupid!

While we may never learn the full scope of this sting, what is known makes "Spygate"-for want of a better term-the worst political scandal in American history: A dossier funded by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign, and authored by a former British spy, falsely claimed Trump and individuals connected to his presidential campaign conspired with Russia.

The FBI then used confidential human sources and other allies, such as Stefan Halper and Australian diplomat Alexander Downer, to target members of the Trump campaign to establish a pretext to launch an investigation of the Trump campaign and to obtain a secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act surveillance order on former campaign advisor Carter Page.

So on the heels of news breaking that the FBI had briefed both Obama and Trump on the dossier, the Post published a January 12 article revealing Trump's incoming national security advisor and former campaign advisor, Michael Flynn, had called the Russian ambassador several times on December 29-the same day "The Obama administration announced the expulsion of 35 Russian officials as well as other measures in retaliation for the hacking."

Then when Trump spoke with Comey about Flynn, telling his FBI director that Flynn was "a good guy," and "I hope you can let it go," Comey scurried back to his office, drafted a memorandum of the conversation, later casting Trump's comment as an attempt at obstructing justice.

So the soft coup that started with the DNC and Clinton-funded dossier will soon fail.
