FBI’s ‘Crossfire Hurricane’ files show the fervor to frame Trump

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 his inauguration, newly released documents show.

The zeal to pin Russia collusion allegations on Mr. Trump spilled out of the 700 pages of emails, memos, interviews and other material connected to the 2016 Crossfire Hurricane investigation that the Trump administration has made public.

Some of the material was released by Mr. Trump on the final day of his first term in 2021. Other pages provide greater detail about the unprecedented secret investigation and spy operation on Mr. Trump’s campaign that followed him into the White House.

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 investigation into allegations, later proved phony, that Mr. Trump colluded with Russia to win the election.

Mr. Rosenstein said 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 plan never moved forward. Two months later, in July 2017, Mr. Kelly was elevated to serve as Mr. Trump’s White House chief of staff. He left the White House in January 2019.
