FROM EIR DAILY ALERT

There’s No Denying It; It Was Never Anything But a Coup!

Feb. 14, 2019 (EIRNS)—In interviews to boost his forthcoming book, fired former FBI Acting Director Andrew McCabe confirms that Obama holdovers repeatedly discussed removing President Donald Trump under the pretext of the 25th Amendment, and that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein more than once seriously offered to “wear a wire” in meetings with the President. After Trump fired James Comey as FBI Director in May 2017, McCabe, Comey’s deputy director, launched a phony “obstruction of justice” investigation, and said that he began to accumulate files of memos on that and the “Russia Collusion” investigation, to try to ensure that the investigations would continue if he were fired as well.

Now, after its own two years of investigation and 200 interviews, Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee Richard Burr (R-NC) has said, “There is no factual evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.” Ranking Member Mark Warner (D-VA) said he disagrees with the way Burr characterized the evidence, but declined to give his own assessment.

Veteran criminal attorney John Dowd, a member of Trump’s legal team from June 2017 to March 2018, said,

“I know exactly what he [Mueller] has. I know exactly what every witness said, what every document said. I know exactly what he asked. And I know what the conclusion or the result is.”

What will be the result of the probe?

“It’s been a terrible waste of time.... This is one of the greatest frauds the country has ever seen. I’m just shocked that Bob Mueller didn’t call it that way and say, ‘I’m being used.’ I would’ve done that.

“I’d have gone to [then Attorney General] Sessions and Rosenstein and said, ‘Look. This is nonsense. We are being used by a cabal in the FBI to get even.’ ”

Asked about Mueller’s final report, he responded, “I will be shocked if anything regarding the President is made public, other than, ‘We’re done.’ ”

At the same time, former NSA Technical Director William Binney has published new evidence which shows that the DNC documents posted by WikiLeaks in July 2016, were probably not hacked over the internet, by Russians or anyone else—rather, the only available forensic evidence indicates that they were downloaded from within the DNC’s network. His evidence is summarized in an article he co-authored with former CIA analyst Larry Johnson on Col. Pat Lang’s “Sic Semper Tyrannis” blog yesterday.
