BREAKING NEWS: Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein resigns. Links to follow EDIT: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/deputy-attorney-general-rod-rosenstein-is-resigning This will get very interesting very quickly. What does mean for Mueller, etc. @JakeBGibson reports Rod Rosenstein is on his way to the White House where he expects to be fired. Resigned or fired? Conflicting reports are coming out fast and furious.
(Hope he's wearing his wire today) Trump is physically (if not mentally) in NYC for United Nations stuff, but that's a moot point, since Trump doesn't fire people face to face.... Zippy chance Rosenstein is resigning.... you want him out??? Somebody is going to have to get their hands real dirty...
You think Rosenstein's gambit to use the 25th Amendment to unseat a sound mind and bodied president wouldn't have gotten real bloody?

http://www.oann.com/u-s-deputy-attorney-general-rosenstein-resigns-axios/ One more swamp denizen bites the dust.
Conflicting reports An apparently conditional resignation. Terms being worked out. Stock market nervous as Trump adds another nail into his Obstruction coffin. `
Not soon enough. Now let's get an independent DAG who will call Mueller into his office and demand a briefing on the Russian collusion accusations and whatever else he has gone into, take away everything but the collusion and hand over to career DOJ/FBI investigators to wrap up and tell Mueller either bring your indictments and shut down your operation.
I think that makes Noel Francisco the new Deputy AG. He will oversee the Mueller probe from here on out. https://lawandcrime.com/high-profil...s-is-who-will-be-in-charge-of-robert-mueller/ This could be very good for President Trump. With Rosenstein gone, another swamp rat bites the dust. With Sessions recused, Sessions will no longer have to be fired. Just leave him in place until after the mid terms.
If Rosentsrein is indeed fired. I figure solicitor general will terminate Russian probe. Which it should be. And then they should open one up on the real McCoy as far as collusion, good ole Hillary..
Oh, perhaps the start to Trump's own Saturday Night Massacre? Of course, Trump is too much a of a coward to actually tell Rosenstein himself, so it it being done by others.
Once more trump proves that he is terrible at picking people to work for him. How many of the people he choose have been fired or have resigned by now?
Well, on that we can agree.... Have to just laugh at people calling Rosenstein a swamp rat, since he was appointed by Trump.... But I think it's generally known that rats eat their own... Still nothing confirmed on MSNBC.... except Rod is off to the Asylum....
Really? That's your complaint? Not Rosenstein's duplicitous King Rat-like behavior but the president didn't tell him face to face he was through? Wow! What a curious standard of outrage.
Trump does not fire face to face. If the new DAG tries to corral Mueller and limit/dismiss his investigation, Miller will resign and release his already-prepared report to the Press.
Cool story. I apologize for not disliking Rosenstein simply for being the Republican overseeing the investigation into Trumplandia, an investigation which has already led to multiple convictions.
