The FBI’s Trump Panic

McCabe reveals how officials contemplated a bureaucratic coup.​

Opinion | The FBI’s Trump Panic
The American people have largely taken the disruptive Trump Presidency in stride, going about their lives and expressing their approval or not the constitutional way—at the ballot box. The same can’t be said for many of the country’s panicked elites, as we are learning anew about the Federal Bureau of Investigation as former deputy director Andrew McCabe hawks a new memoir.... Mr. McCabe now says that, after Mr. Trump fired FBI director Jim Comey in May 2017, Mr. McCabe and senior Justice Department officials “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.” That’s according to Scott Pelley’s account of his interview with Mr. McCabe aired Sunday on CBS’s “60 Minutes.”
In the interview, Mr. McCabe says Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein raised the 25th Amendment scenario “and discussed it with me in the context of thinking about how many other cabinet officials might support such an effort.” Mr. McCabe says he didn’t contribute much but seems to excuse the conversation because “it was an unbelievably stressful time.”
Mr. McCabe was fired last year for lying to FBI investigators, so it’s hard to know how much to believe. He’s also tried to qualify the interview after excerpts were disclosed, with a spokesperson saying that while Mr. McCabe “participated in a discussion that included a comment by Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein regarding the 25th Amendment,” he did not participate in any “extended discussions” about removing Mr. Trump.

For the first time, one of the major broadsheets is practically calling for the appointment of a Special Counsel to investigate the FBI. I would really love to see Mueller and his stooges in orange jumpsuits, if only for one day. Giving them felony records would also be a good thing, pour encourageur les autres.
The larger the conspiracy, the more potential weak links it has. finding one to break is actually a well established FBI tactic. It will be interesting to watch it being used on them. Someone will flip.
Mueller and his select band have failed the Clintons and the DNC machine as a whole by not coming up with the sort of smoking gun they wanted.
The penalty for failing the Clintons is typically something a bit more severe than an orange jump suit.
Can anyone cite any factual evidence linking Trump to Russia which has not been subsequently debunked or retracted?
Malignant Narcissism ~~ A person with malignant narcissism has the potential to destroy families, communities, nations, and work environments. This condition reflects a hybrid or blending of narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders. Psychologist Eric Fromm termed the disorder in 1964. Psychoanalyst Otto Kernberg later delineated the symptoms of the condition and presented it as an intermediary between narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders.
Malignant narcissism is a blend of two disorders that pose problems interpersonally for their victims — narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders. It is not uncommon for others to feel anxious, intimidated by, and fearful of people with this condition.
They want to land on top, even when pretending to be altruistic or engaging in an activity that should not be "all about them." They often view the world through a primitive binary lens (for example, winner/loser; smart/dumb; rich/poor; pretty/ugly; black/white) — all the while sustaining the belief that they are superior. This is likely associated with problems processing emotional information, which reflects faulty neurobiology.
The combination of poor empathy coupled with aggression, hypersensitivity, and suspiciousness can bring pain to others. Did anyone hear anything about malignant narcissism when Bill Clinton, Barack Obama were president and when Hillary was fighting Bernie followers and all the deplorables.
