Former FBI general counsel James Baker testified that Rosenstein said 2 Trump cabinet members were willing to invoke the #25thAmendment to remove Trump from office.
Q: Was he joking?
BAKER: This was not a joking sort of time. This was pretty dark.

Q: Was there a concern at the FBI that [TRUMP] had fired Director Comey because he was trying to obstruct the FBI's investigation into the Russia matter?

Former FBI general counsel JIM BAKER: Yes.
#Maddow
Q: Who else was concerned that TRUMP fired Comey to obstruct the FBI's investigation?

BAKER: Leadership of the FBI, heads of the national security apparatus, national security folks within the FBI, people aware of the underlying investigation...

BREAKING: Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin says he needs more time on @RepRichardNeal's request for Trump's tax returns, that he's consulting with DOJ —claiming that it could "set a dangerous precedent..."

Mnuchin is stalling. SHALL means SHALL.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, @LindseyGrahamSC. How many times do you have to be told that the Trump campaign WAS warned by senior FBI officials on AUG 17, 2016, that Russia was trying to spy on and/or infiltrate their campaign.
Aug 17, 2016: The FBI warned Trump's campaign that Russia would try to infiltrate their campaign and urged them to report any overtures. By then, 7+ Trump aides had contacts with Russian-linked operatives. None were reported to FBI, @LindseyGrahamSC.

When asked by @SenatorShaheen why he wants a probe into the origins of the Russia probe, Barr says because **he believes the US government spied on the Trump campaign.**

Barr is a full-blown conspiracy theorist just like Nunes and Trump.

The transcript of say 2 of former FBI general counsel James Baker's congressional testimony is out. FBI lawyers told Baker not to disclose all the different ways Rod Rosenstein and Andy McCabe contemplated removing Trump from office after Comey's firing. dougcollins.house.gov/sites/dougcoll…
Baker testified that he does not actually know whether Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein eventually wore a wire as part of a scheme to remove the president of the United States from office. "I have not confirmed one way or the other whether it took place." Incredible exchange here.
According to Baker, Rosenstein and two cabinet members were "onboard with this concept" of using the 25th Amendment as part of a coup to remove the president from office. Baker said he did not know who the two cabinet members were.

Former FBI General Counsel James Baker. Baker reportedly told Congress last week that Rosenstein was “serious” when 👉🏼he proposed secretly recording the president to try to gain damaging information about him.👈🏼

If this isn’t subversion what is? foxnews.com/opinion/gregg-…
Rosenstein allegedly also talked about soliciting others to secretly record the president.

According to Baker, Rosenstein was also “serious” when he discussed recruiting Cabinet members to depose Trump under the 25th Amendment, in what would amount to an attempted palace coup.😏
The fact Rosenstein is still in power and enabling a farce of an investigation and maintains full security clearances with access to all manner of info raises questions:

🐘Did Rosenstein or one of his anti-Trump allies spy on Trump🐘
🐘Is Rosenstein blackmailing Trump🐘

"Former FBI general counsel James Baker met during the 2016 season with at least one attorney from Perkins Coie, the Democratic National Committee's private law firm." This is so vague thehill.com/hilltv/rising/…
"Baker was interviewed by lawmakers behind closed doors on Wednesday. Sources declined to divulge his testimony, other than to say it confirmed other evidence about the contact between the Perkins Coie law firm and the FBI."

So vague. So vague. What even is this?
"The sources also said Baker's interview broke new ground both about the FBI's use of news media in 2016 and 2017 to further the Trump case and about Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's conversations in spring 2017 regarding possible use of a body wire to record Trump."
