"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?
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.

What do you call trying to overthrow a duly elected President?

They were plotting a coup against their boss without a single relevant party in the room. Only the Cabinet members can invoke the 25th. None were present. They had no legal basis for even discussing the matter. On the high seas, they'd call that mutiny. But the land lubbers of the world use words like "coup d'etat" and "treason." The American people elected the man and your opinion of your new boss is irrelevant.

Not their job. If there are illegal activities then investigate it, which they are and nothing is coming of it. He was elected by the people and the FBI doesn't get to change that.

"We don't like Trump!" is not a good enough reason.

The 25th Amendment is about an incapacitated President ... it’s NOT about removing a President that the Elite Washington crowd dislikes. It was absolutely a discussion about a Coup ... as was the entire DOJ/FBI/CIA Investigation into the Trump Campaign and Presidency.
We have crossed a Red Line in this Nation - I’m not at all sure there will be any recovery from that.
