It seems that the only Republican supporting Trump is Lynsey Graham, I see him and only him on FOX. Every other Republican, Democrat, the main stream media, and the deep state are plotting against him.
"Fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s book tour began with a “60 minutes” interview this week in which he confirmed that he commenced an effort to remove President Trump from office, citing his concerns with the president’s supposed ties to Russia, for which no evidence has ever surfaced."
Andrew McCabe was far from the only FBI official to disgrace himself. Other now-fired FBI officials, such as James Comey and Peter Strzok, helped transform the FBI into a political weapon to sabotage the president through the baseless Trump-Russia investigation. There are still only two primary explanations for their conduct. The first is they were simply incompetent and commenced a probe without sufficient nonpartisan evidence. The second and more likely explanation is that McCabe and his cohorts were on a hell-bent quest to overturn the results of the election. Call it what it was: a soft coup attempt. Luckily for our republic, the coup attempt failed."
Hard to believe this could happen in our country. How would the media act if the Obama administration was treated this way?
McCabe's entire conduct was not unimpeachable and the Inspector General found fault with some of his actions. Trump took advantage of that and terminated McCabe literally 72 hours before he could qualify for a pension he had worked over twenty years to obtain.
The basic notion that Trump had to be investigated for connections to the Russians is unavoidable. Trump had a series of business relationships with the Russians that predated by years his presidential campaign. Evidence surfaced through emails released to the Trump campaign from Russian computer trolls. Other things happened too that raised serious questions. The Trump Tower meeting was an example. The point is that sufficient information was present for the FBI to investigate whether Trump was a witting or unwitting Russian asset. Trump only made his situation worse and raised questions about his loyalty when he fired FBI Director James Comey and than proceeded to fire Andy McCabe, the acting FBI Director, while these claims were being investigated.
I do not know what Bob Mueller's Investigation will ultimately find. Perhaps, Trump will be exonerated in some fashion. I do know that the facts in this case required an investigation and McCabe was simply doing his job, no matter what his voting preferences were in 2016.
You misstate the situation when you use the term "coup" in your thread's title. McCabe and others discussed the possibility of using the 25th Amendment to the Constitution - quite legally and obviously constitutionally - because they were extremely concerned about Trump's fitness to be in office as the President of the United States. This is far different from a coup, which is an illegal overthrow of government, usually by force.

Except Trump did not terminate McCabe....the FBI & the DOJ did. I stopped reading the rest of your post after that.
I guess you're talking about every president since Carter, and he was a ****ing disaster!
