      I can't get over how idiotic this talking point is: "The 25th Amendment is in the Constitution, so any scheme hatched by a bureaucratic cabal to depose the president must be legal if the schemers invoke it." Never underestimate how much bad punditry is driven by sheer stupidity

      Michael Tracey Retweeted Alan Dershowitz

      I'm not a fan of Dershowitz, but I don't see any plausible counterargument here. Either way, invoking the 25th Amendment would obviously not be the purview of the FBIhttps://twitter.com/AlanDersh/status/1096433289311731712 …

      Alan DershowitzVerified account @AlanDersh
      It is unconstitutional to use the 25th Amendment to circumvent impeachment provisions. The 25th can be used only if POTUS is physically or psychiatrically incapacitated. Any other use is unconstitutional. I challenge anyone to argue differently.

      The FBI doesn't have a charter so there are no boundaries to their purview. They compel resignations of public officials quite frequently. Mark Felt aka Deep Throat in Watergate was the #2 for more than a quarter century. No rules so impossible to say if bad or not

      True, but the purview of the 25th Amendment is circumscribed by the text of the amendment, and McCabe/Rosenstein did not occupy any of the relevant positions enumerated by the amendment.

          They don't need to occupy those positions to bring the matter to the people in those positions. Jesus christ, it's not illegal to talk about stuff. Or are you under the impression that the cabinet even discussing the 25th amd. on their own is seditious?

          hmm, the text doesn't say who brings the issues to those people's attention so as to circulate the informed consensus needed but the doj might be in the position to have that evidence ?

          There's probably dozens of careerists at top levels agreeing that this is worthy of cabinet members' routine review/headcounts.
