Andrew McCabe Can’t Keep His Story Straight

1. In other words, it is becoming obvious that McCabe is probably the leak orchestrator against Rosenstein, and has the inside view of an illegal and certainly improper plot on the president of the United States, undertaken by unelected intelligence officials who were all involved in abuses of power that occurred before, during, and after the 2016 election.
2. Then, in September of last year, someone leaked to The New York Times that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had sought to trap the president in a crime or attempt to remove the president, by proposing to wear a wire for his conversations with the president, and by attempting to recruit cabinet officials to invoke the 25th Amendment, respectively.
3. But we also know this from former FBI general counsel Jim Baker, who testified under oath that McCabe and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page had both said Rosenstein was talking about the 25th Amendment, and that Rosenstein said he had two cabinet members on board.
4. Instead of McCabe talking about only Rosenstein, as he intended, it sounds an awful lot like McCabe and Rosenstein were working together to cover up the misdeeds of the FBI and DOJ that occurred before the 2016 election, and working together to trap the president with an obstruction of justice charge.
5. McCabe was asked about Rosenstein recruiting cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment, and Rosenstein offering to “wire-up.” McCabe proceeded to go into great detail to affirm the September 2018 New York Times story.
6. So if Rosenstein was looking to entrap the president by wiring up to get him on an obstruction of justice charge, that’s because McCabe improperly launched an obstruction of justice investigation.
7. But McCabe still oversaw an operation to spy on the Trump campaign before the 2016 election, which was based on a Russian-sourced and Clinton campaign-funded smear that boiled down to a completely unverified Word document—the so-called dossier.
