    “Where are our military folks? The Commander in Chief is in the hands of our enemy!” Cohen wrote on Twitter, suggesting a military coup against the 45th president of his country.

    Cohen later denied that he was calling for a coup. “No coup called for,” he said, claiming that it is unlikely that someone would call for a coup on Twitter.

    Cohen’s call for a coup was similar to one from former Obama CIA Director John Brennan, who claimed on Monday that Trump’s press conference was “treasonous”.

    Trump sounded skeptical about the insistence by some that Russia was meddling in American politics during the 2016 presidential campaign.

    Cohen’s tweet on Monday came just three days after the congressman apologised for saying that disgraced anti-Trump FBI agent Peter Strzok deserves a purple heart for facing a tough congressional hearing.

    Trump had criticized Strzok and the investigation into “Russia meddling” in stark terms. “And if anybody watched Peter Strzok testify over the last couple of days, and I was in Brussels watching it, it was a disgrace to the FBI. It was a disgrace to our country. And you would say: ‘That was a total witch hunt’.”

    While Democratic lawmakers and the mainstream media continue to frame Russia as America’s sworn enemy, it was the ironically Chinese who had acquired Hillary Clinton’s classified and top secret intelligence from her home-brewed private server.

    Former top FBI lawyer Lisa Page testified during two days of closed-door House hearings, revealing shocking information about her old superiors at the Bureau, including Strzok, FBI sources said.

    Alarming new allegations of a bureau-wide cover up were contained in her testimony: The Russians did not hack Hillary’s server, the Chinese did, according to well-placed FBI sources. Chinese state-backed “assets” had illegally acquired former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s 30,000+ “missing” emails, federal sources said.

    Page, who during the 2016 campaign texted FBI boyfriend Strzok that “Trump’s not ever going to become president, right?!” testified again on Monday in a closed session.

    The embattled Page tossed her former love interest Peter Strzok, James Comey and Andrew McCabe, among others under the Congressional bus, alleging the upper echelon of the FBI concealed intelligence confirming Chines meddling.

    “In many cases, she admits that the text messages mean exactly what they say, as opposed to Agent Strzok, who thinks that we’ve all misinterpreted his own words on any text message that might be negative,” Rep. John Ratcliff told reporters.

    A scandal of that magnitude would have derailed Hillary Clinton’s presidential hopes, but it was concealed from the public by her FBI supporters.
