Well, there goes Thursday . . .
Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who has a new book coming out, sat down with what CBS is calling a “BOMBSHELL” interview with “60 Minutes” where he dropped this bombshell confirming that “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”:

McCabe also said Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein offered to wear a wire multiple times while meeting with President Trump:
Wow – McCabe also tells CBS that Rosenstein's offer to wear a wire with the president was raised more than once and that McCabe took it to the lawyers at the FBI to discuss. https://t.co/R0pT5UI0RN

We’ll note that it’s also pretty dumb of McCabe to think this was viable:
This is idiotic.
This isn't even how the 25th Amendment works!
