'Attempted coup d'etat': Trump cites Alan Dershowitz in effort to discredit McCabe

[Washington Post] Alan Dershowitz, the lawyer and professor emeritus at Harvard Law School, assumed his standard role Thursday in the feedback loop connecting conservative cable news and President Trump’s Twitter pronouncements.

Dershowitz joined Fox News host Tucker Carlson to denounce purported discussions within the Justice Department about using the 25th Amendment to remove the president. The talks were confirmed by Andrew McCabe, the former acting FBI director, in an interview with "60 Minutes" set to air in full this weekend, CBS journalist Scott Pelley said Thursday, when a clip from the interview was released. The amendment, which creates a process for the vice president and Cabinet to declare a president unfit, was apparently explored by top Justice Department officials in May 2017 as they became alarmed by the president’s decision to fire James B. Comey, the former FBI director.

The advance clip does not include talk of the 25th Amendment but rather focuses on McCabe’s decision to authorize a probe into Trump’s possible ties to Russia out of fear that he would soon follow Comey in being dismissed.

Trump earlier on Thursday had launched a general attack on McCabe, impugning his personal character.

After watching Carlson’s show on Fox, his criticism became more specific. He quoted Dershowitz’s denunciation of the alleged consideration of the 25th Amendment as a means of removing the 45th president.

#1 Actually treason since they collaborated and depended on a foreign agent.

Treason, a capital offense.

With the hardcore leftists now running Fox I doubt we will be hearing the term 'Attempted coup d'etat" from anyone else on the once good American channel.
