Secret meetings? If they were so secret I cannot help but wonder how you found out about them.
Let's start with the meeting in the Oval Office where trump threw out the press and all of his staff and security detail, then told the Russians that the pressure was off of him because he had gotten rid of Comey. The meeting where no US official knew what had been discussed in the Oval Office UNTIL the Russians released their version of what had been discussed.
At the Helsinki Summit, trump took his interpreter's notes before they could be submitted as required for historical documentation and transparency.
The meeting at one of the "G" Summets, trump met with Putin and only Putin's interpreter, when at least one person from the State Department should also should have been in on that meeting.
Recently it was revealed that trump sought out Putin at another International meeting and pulled him aside with only Putin's interpreter in the room with them.
Why all of the secrecy?

Why should Trump be hiding Anything?
You tell me why trump sees the need to sneak around and meet with Putin, and he doesn't want anyone else to know what they talked about. What US National Secrets is trump spilling to Putin? Loose lips sink ships, and trump just doesn't know when to stop talking.

Have you paid attention to the news lately? You know the news coming out about top FBI officials talking about removing Trump from office under the 25th Amendment? You know, the Amendment to be used if the President is injured, such as Ronald Reagan, maybe FDR or other causes.
Those agents had valid reasons to question trump's actions.
By firing Comey, trump was Obstructing Justice by trying to shut down the Russia Interference Investigation. (And nearly two years later, he's still trying to shut it down!)
That action was quickly followed by that infamous Oval Office meeting with the Russians.
Those two events raised hyge Red Flag Warnings about National Security issues about trump to those two FBI agents. They were doing their jobs to protect our country!

But that Amendment was never intended to stage a coup as McCabe and Rosenstein allegedly took it upon themselves to at least talk about after James Comey was fired. ...

Contrary to the propaganda you've been listening to, the 25th Amendment Reads:
4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body of Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their
written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that
no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or if such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty eight hours for the purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two thirds vote for both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
So with all of the steps that are necessary, a coup isn't possible because too many people are required to vote on the change in status for the removal of a President.
But if it's proven that trump has been compromised by Russia, he must be removed from office as soon as possible. And the chances are extremely high that he's been compromised for years!
There are three options; he resigns, he's impeached, or they use the 25th Ammendment.
