CNN reports that Rosenstein expects to be fired, so he probably wants to resign first. Any deputy AG nominee will get a grilling from senators if Sessions continues to recuse himself and the new deputy would oversee Mueller's investigation. Trump continues to beat up the NY Times but he still believes their reports.

Likely so, The Orange One has been laying the groundwork for this for some time now. Getting rid of his enemies, like Stalin. No GULAG to send them to, but the purge has the same effect of benefiting the Dear Leader.

This could possibly be a play by Rosenstein to outmaneuver Trump, but I doubt it. Too early to tell. Stay tuned.

As usual, Mario's Mushroom is too fucking cowardly to fire Rosenstein to his face, just like he was too cowardly to fire FBI Director Comey in person.

What I don't understand is how COS Kelly has the authority to fire Rosenstein. Rosenstein is a Presidential Appointee / Senate Confirmed, and Kelly, as COS is not. I do not understand how anyone other than the Attorney General or the President has the legal authority to fire Rosenstein.

This is another step in Trump's slow-moving coup d'etat to make himself autocratic dictator and ending American Democracy.

Latest: Rosenstein will stay in his job “until Thursday” when he meets with Trump.
Hanging on the precipice...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/na ... story.html
Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein will stay in the job for now, but will meet with the president on Thursday, White House officials said Monday, after officials described a series of private discussions that pointed to his resignation or firing.

“At the request of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, he and President Trump had an extended conversation to discuss the recent news stories,” said White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders. “Because the President is at the United Nations General Assembly and has a full schedule with leaders from around the world, they will meet on Thursday when the President returns to Washington, D.C.”

The announcement capped a tense few hours after officials said Rosenstein had told White House officials over the weekend that he was willing to resign in the wake of revelations that he once suggested secretly recording President Trump.

I think this is a ploy to take attention away from the Kavanaugh nomination hearings. The Agent Orange Supporters can’t keep more than one scandal on their pea brains at a time. The Orange Swamp at the White House is possibly using the Rosenstein affair as a trial balloon to see how it goes with the congress and AGent Orange Supporters. If it goes well they will get Rosenstein out and Kavanaugh in.

The Faux Noise clowns went totally bedlam over the thought that Rosenstein would be fired! They've finally figured out that could WELL put the nail in the RWN coffin.

Naturally, being nut-cases, they came up with the bizarre conspiracy theory that Dems tried to engineer the firing, and possibly even Rosenstein himself! They just can't accept that they are idiots and THEY created the very situation since they never consider unanticipated consequences of their actions.

So watching Hannity BEGGING Mario's Mushroom NOT to fire Rosenstein is rather hilarious!
