February 20, 2019 at 7:15 am EST By Taegan Goddard
White House officials and sources close to President Trump are treating Andrew McCabes book as an opportunity, according to Jonathan Swan.
These people plan to keep promoting bits from The Threat, which has rocketed past Michelle Obamas Becoming to #1 on Amazons best-sellers list, that support their deep state narrative. They also plan to argue that the rest of the former FBI deputy directors claims are a pack of lies.
The part theyll trumpet as true: McCabes comments about discussions, at the highest rungs of the FBI, about removing Trump from office. Trump and his allies view this as vindicating his narrative that theres a Deep State coup afoot.

2/3rds of the House and 2/3rds of the Senate. Also one in which he is not technically removed from office but only has Pence as acting President. He can still petition Congress for resumption of his duties.
Some coup.

If youre not going to invoke it, dont ever bring it up. That feeds completely into Trumps victimization / deep state BS and he will get incredible mileage with it.
