Graham vows to hold hearing on McCabe's "stunning" 25th Amendment comments

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he will hold a hearing about comments made by former Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe about an apparent discussion of the possibility of using the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office.

In an interview with "60 Minutes" set to air Sunday evening, McCabe said Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein raised the issue shortly after the firing of FBI Director James Comey in 2017. The 25th Amendment provides a process for removing a president who is "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office."

McCabe told "60 Minutes" that Rosenstein "raised the issue and discussed it with me in the context of thinking about how many other cabinet officials might support such an effort."

"The whole point of Congress existing is to provide oversight of the executive branch," Graham said on "Face the Nation" Sunday. "So through good reporting by '60 Minutes,' there's an allegation by the acting FBI director at the time that the deputy attorney general was basically trying to do an administrative coup, take the president down to the 25th Amendment process. The deputy attorney general denies it. So I promise your viewers the following, that we will have a hearing about who's telling the truth, what actually happened."

The problem is Lindsey little suckasses like you aren't providing oversight. You're one of Trump's most loyal enablers.

we nonchalantly discuss their treason now, they achieved a state where they can and will and do commit treason out in the open and it is barely noticed

Seems that McCabe is revealing more in his interviews this week than what he divulged in his book, indicating that he must be feeling more confident in speaking out after recent developments with the Mueller case and fact that Whitaker did not impede Mueller and McCabe and Rosenstein apparently think Barr will let Mueller proceed to conclusion.

I think we'll be finding out a lot more about "collusion" over the next few weeks.
