Prosecutors, including that secret recording made of trump just before the 2016 election. As anybody would say, thats the strongest possible evidence. There certainly was evidence of knowledge by the president of a payoff to the playboy playmate. We begin this morning with the president threatening to strip the Security Clearance of half a dozen former officials. Never mind some of them dont even have clearance anymore. That is not stopping the white house from stthe policy of paybk to vocal critics. I want to get to how it breaks down. The president is said to still be considering this move. While none of his people hes targeting are still in the government, current officials are certainly taking notice. Right now, these are the men and women on the list. Former cia director john brennan. Former director of National Intelligence James Clapper. Former cia director michael hayden. Monetary gain. No, that wasnt an snl skit. We already know the president has attacked u. S. Intelligence ag
the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. according to the paper in the spring of 2017, in the middle of a meeting, rosenstein proposed secretly recording the president in an effort apparently to expose chaos of the administration and discredit it. the times says rosenstein talked about recruiting members of the cabinet to invoke the 25th amendment and remove the president from office in an internal coup. rosenstein denied the story but almost nobody in washington seems to believe him. that is not surprising. rosenstein is not a particularly popular person here. he is a permanent federal bureaucrat, a group working to undermine the president since the inauguration. two strike against him. but none of it means the story is true. before you decide whether it is, consider where it came from and why it was published now. the piece seems to be based on notes that the f.b.i. employees lisa page and andrew mccabe typed up. but mccabe don t mention anything about the 25th

he is the core source for the story. if it s a question of deciding between rod rosenstein and andy mccabe, who are you going to believe? it s not a great choice, admittedly. but it s also not a close call. mccabe was fired from the f.b.i. for leaking and then lying about it. federal prosecutors are looking now at the evidence. mccabe could soon be indicted for that. he has every incentive to want to see the president impeached. how could he get the president impeached. he might start leaking this story to a reporter called adam goldman at the new york times. a reporter whom his coworkers believe he has been looking to for a long time. he would do that knowing that story might cause the president to fire rod rosenstein. democrats have long argued firing rosenstein would constitute obstruction of justice, an impeachable offense. come november assuming they take the house, the democrats would be in a position to file impeachment charges. even if they don t impeach, the story would doub
