As all of us with brains suspected and now know, Rosenstein was a traitor scumbag, as was Jeff Sessions, and were "in on it" with McCabe and the FBI and DOJ

FBI’s “Crossfire Hurricane” Files Show the Fervor to Frame Trump

The top brass in the FBI and intelligence community were determined to stop President Trump from winning the White House in 2016, and they talked about removing him from office months after he was sworn in, according to newly released documents.

The zeal to pin Russian collusion allegations on Mr. Trump spilled out of the 700 pages of emails, memos, interviews and other material connected to the 2016 “Crossfire Hurricane” probe that were newly made public by the Trump administration.

...In one newly released memo, dated May 2017, four months into Mr. Trump’s first term, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe discussed “the President’s capacity and the possibility that he could be removed from office under the 25th Amendment.”

At the time, the Justice Department was reeling over Mr. Trump’s firing of FBI Director James B. Comey on May 9, 2017, and was weighing the appointment of a special counsel to oversee the FBI’s probe into allegations, later proven phony, that Mr. Trump colluded with Russia to win the election.

Mr. Rosenstein said he believed he “might already have two supporters” among the eight cabinet members he would need to remove Mr. Trump under the 25th Amendment: Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly.

The newly released documents show desperation to stop Mr. Trump among top brass from the FBI. The deputy assistant director of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division, Peter Strzok, an avowed Trump hater, discussed in inter-bureau electronic messages the FBI’s proposal to form a “ Trump unit” to investigate the new president days before he was sworn into office in 2017.

...Mr. Trump called the entire investigation a “witch hunt” and a “hoax” that hobbled his first term in office.

He signed an executive order on March 25 declassifying the remaining Crossfire Hurricane documents that were not released in 2021, but the latest batch contained many redactions.

Mr. Trump called the investigation into his campaign “total weaponization” and “a disgrace” without precedent.

“Frankly, the FBI should be ashamed of themselves, and so should the Department of Justice and so should Biden,” he said.
