Seven Days in May was a movie about a fictional military coup, Eight Days In May is about the DOJ attempt to remove Trump after Comey firing

In the fictional book and 1964 movie Seven Days in May:

“United States military leaders plot to overthrow the President because he supports a nuclear disarmament treaty and they fear a Soviet sneak attack.”

In the non-fictional Eight Days in May, members of the United States Department of Justice, including senior FBI officials, plotted the potential removal of President Donald Trump under the 25th Amendment because he fired FBI Director James Comey and allegedly was soft on Russia.

“There were meetings at the Justice Department at which it was discussed whether the vice president and a majority of the cabinet could be brought together to remove the president of the United States under the 25th Amendment.”

The Hill reports:

Former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe in a new interview reveals new details of the investigations into President Trump, telling CBS that there were conversations about the possibility of removing Trump under the 25th amendment and confirming that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had offered to wear a wire around the president. McCabe spoke to “60 Minutes” for an interview ahead of the release of his book, “The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump.” CBS News’ Scott Pelley appeared on “CBS This Morning” Thursday to discuss his interview with McCabe, saying that McCabe told him about the efforts to figure out “what to do” with Trump during the eight days between the firing of then-FBI Director James Comey and the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller. “There were meetings at the Justice Department at which it was discussed whether the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet could be brought together to remove the president of the United States under the 25th Amendment,” Pelley said Thursday. “And the highest levels of American law enforcement were trying to figure out what to do with the president.” Pelley said that McCabe told him Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein offered multiple times to wear a wire in meetings with Trump.

Here is the teaser 60 Minutes released:

The willingness, indeed eagerness, of the permanent bureaucracy to remove Trump did not take place in isolation. It was part of a pattern of Media, Democrat and NeverTrump Republican attempts to undermine the results of the 2016 election. I covered this topic in multiple prior posts, including a post on December 12, 2016, about the attempt to undermine the Electoral College, The one thing you must understand about the unfolding media-Democrat Electoral College coup attempt:

We are witnessing nothing short of an attempt to steal the election by some Democrats and a very supportive mainstream and leftwing media, by causing Electors in the Electoral College to go rogue and vote for Hillary, or at least not vote for Trump.

In what way is this not considered a coup? Partisan hacks from the prior administration plotting to have the president removed, based on total nonsense. https://t.co/nHA4YsK0oU — David Reaboi (@davereaboi) February 14, 2019

Hard for me to understand how anyone who believes in "democracy" can think this is ok? The entire push is based on Trump's friendliness towards Russia — which wrong or right, is neither unconstitutional nor illegal. https://t.co/CsZbgeoD47 — David Harsanyi (@davidharsanyi) February 14, 2019

Imagine what kind of blowback there would be if the FBI had meetings to discuss secretly recording Obama because they didn't like his coddling of the terror regime in Iran? — David Harsanyi (@davidharsanyi) February 14, 2019

Make no mistake about it: this is confirmation that top bureaucrats plotted to remove the duly elected president of the United States because they thought that firing the sanctimonious, holier-than-though loon James Comey was a threat to this country It wasn’t. But they were. https://t.co/ykN0ru5SM4 — Buck Sexton (@BuckSexton) February 14, 2019

McCabe confirms that the Comey firing created a retaliatory investigation based on nothing more than the Steele dossier. It’s unbelievable — it was about overturning an election by the holdover bureaucrats. — Mark Penn (@Mark_Penn) February 14, 2019

Trump has responded on Twitter:

Disgraced FBI Acting Director Andrew McCabe pretends to be a “poor little Angel” when in fact he was a big part of the Crooked Hillary Scandal & the Russia Hoax – a puppet for Leakin’ James Comey. I.G. report on McCabe was devastating. Part of “insurance policy” in case I won…. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 14, 2019

….Many of the top FBI brass were fired, forced to leave, or left. McCabe’s wife received BIG DOLLARS from Clinton people for her campaign – he gave Hillary a pass. McCabe is a disgrace to the FBI and a disgrace to our Country. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 14, 2019
