What if the same group of FBI officials discussed assassinating the POTUS, but didn't? Would the D's also defend that?

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

Unfortunate? Sure, Unprofessional? Indeed. Coup attempt? Hardly.
You're still not getting it. The FBI has no jurisdiction or authority to discuss the 25th Amendment. No more than they have the jurisdiction to hold a meeting to discuss nuking Iran or Russia. Or jurisdiction to discuss how to handle the new USMCA negotiations. This is not their lane & no amount of spinning can change that.

The plotters are toast. Best bet is they'll be charged with 'Seditious Conspiracy', which doesn't need to be acted on, only planned.

There's a reason McCabe is on TV & pushing his book. He knows he's a goner & he's trying to drum up public opinion, hoping it will save him from the noose.

As I stated earlier in this thread, and you have amplified here, again, most of these posters lack the cognitive ability to understand this basic concept. Some of it is do to animus, but really, they lack any critical thinking skills.

Another obvious issue is that they have not looked at ANY evidence except what the mainstream media has gurgled up. They have literally no grasp that there is another side to this issue.

If the FBI comes upon information of interest to another government department they can and will pass it on. If for instance they learn of a new technique to smuggle drugs they will tell the Border Patrol. Or if they have suspicion that a diplomat is involved in industrial espionage they will tell the State Dept.

This is no different. If they found evidence of a connection between the President and foreign operators they may well choose to pass the information to those who would initiate a 25th amendment action. If in fact they had such information and failed to pass it on they could likely be held wanting..

Trump supporters....opinions? Why didn't Devin Nunes & Mitch McConnell, two of Trump's biggest supporters, object when briefed by FBI that they would be investigating Trump? The very same investigation that Trump is calling a "coup."

Simply put, Optics. They couldn't be seen obstructing an FBI investigation.Democrats would have been screaming and they would have been right. Instead, they stepped back to let the FBI do their thing and in the process allowed the dirty players to expose themselves and gave him lot's of rope for the Dems and the FBI higher-ups to hang themselves.

Aren't we all? Everyone is a hypocrite. Having come face to face with several I'm late scenarios with multiple women I always took the "It's your decision to make, and I will support you in whatever you do" stance. Fortunately for me it always worked out that no one wound up pregnant. One of the women I experienced this with was actually "testing" me to see how I would react. That relationship ended.

When talking about Pregnancy and abortion I take Iron Mike Tyson's philosophy to heart. "Everyone has a plan when they step into the ring until they get hit."

Everyone is Pro-Life until that Blue X appears on a home pregnancy test.
