And you thought only Blackface Gov Northam could Moonwalk? [NY Post] Andrew McCabe on Friday denied that he knew of an effort to oust President Trump using the 25th Amendment, saying he never had "any extended discussions" about the matter and was unaware of such talks.
But he knows enough to write a book he's currently pimping? Sorry, that only works for Hildabeast
"At no time did Mr. McCabe participate in any extended discussions about the use of the 25th Amendment, nor is he aware of any such discussions," his spokeswoman, Melissa Schwartz, said in a statement on Twitter, adding that his remarks about the issue were taken out of context. She said McCabe "was present and participated in a discussion that included a comment by Deputy Attorney General [Rod] Rosenstein regarding the 25th Amendment."
But, she added, "Mr. McCabe has merely confirmed a discussion that was initially reported elsewhere."
CBS reporter Scott Pelley, who interviewed McCabe for Sunday's "60 Minutes," said Thursday that McCabe told him using the 25th Amendment was discussed and that officials were "counting noses" ‐ or speculating on who might support such an endeavor.
"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," Pelley said.
"And the highest levels of American law enforcement were trying to figure out what to do with the president."
In the interview, McCabe also confirmed that he took Rosenstein's offer to wear a wire when meeting with Trump in the White House so seriously that he discussed the idea with agency lawyers.
A previous report said that Rosenstein made the crack sarcastically.
