He has not been proven to be unfit and the methods being used have varied from outright illegal (lying to the FISA Court, Comey leaking highly confidential information to the press) to treasonous and destructive of Democracy (using Steele Dossier opposition research procured by Hillary from former KGB agents) to obvious coup attempts by partisan bureaucrats (Rosenstein offering to wear a wire, an idea which even the partisan FBI refused to entertain). This against a backdrop where Special Counsel Mueller has found zero evidence of Trump colluding with Russia. It's all a giant farce.

>> There has NOT been any coup attempt.

That statement is borderline; a coup attempt would be the extreme of what might have happened among these government employees. We will never know the truth.

>> The only things being discussed are constitutional provisions to lawfully remove an unfit President.

Now, that is absolutely false. Some of the discussions, e.g., wearing a wire to speak to the president for the purpose of a coup d'etat are consistent with an illegal and unconstitutional coup attempt. The mere discussion of pulling together people to overthrow a duly elected sitting president is the same.

I think you don't understand what a coup attempt looks like; we, after all, haven't seen one here.
