    Uh oh, Rosenstein is being called in to see Trump. Doesn't look good for the Lil Swamp Creature.



    A new report suggests that President Trump is going to fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. He is currently on his way to the White House.

    This comes soon after a new report that suggested Rosenstein wanted to secretly record Trump in the spring of 2017 shortly after the firing of FBI Director James Comey. Rosenstein strongly denied the report. Trump was asked about Rosenstein's future in the administration during an interview on "Fox & Friends" Monday.

    “We will make a determination," Trump said. "It’s certainly a very sad story.”

    With Rosenstein's exit, solicitor general Noel Francisco would oversee the investigation......snip~

    This is a breaking news story and will be updated.

    The left and news media should be very worried, because this leak about Rosenstein probably came from former Assistant FBI Director Andrew McCabe, who might start singing and expose everyone involved in the deep state conspiracy against Trump!

    Looks like Trump is going to play the Demos and the Lame Stream media, like they are with Kavanaugh.

    Exclusive: Rod Rosenstein offered to resign.....
    Jonathan Swan40 mins ago


    Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has verbally “offered to resign” in discussions with White House Chief of Staff Kelly, according to a source close to Rosenstein, but as of now, it’s unclear whether his resignation has been accepted. The source said it’s possible nothing happens today.

    Background: Rosenstein talked last year about invoking the 25th Amendment and wearing a wire during Trump meetings, the N.Y. Times' Adam Goldman and Michael S. Schmidt reported last week. He denied both allegations.....snip~

    Damn.....Kelly should have accepted his resignation. Then said C-ya wouldn't want to be ya.

    So far there has been no confirmation on this rumor! Considering what we have learned so far, i think Lindsey Graham is right. There needs to be a pause on Mueller's investigation and a special prosecutor needs to be appointed to look into all of this mess regarding the FISA warrants. The legitimacy of this investigation is in question because the FBI lied to and withheld information from the FISA judges, as well as the actions of the deep state to form a conspiracy against Trump! Our democracy and constitution cannot allow criminal acts by the intelligence community, FBI and DOJ to go unpunished and swept under the carpet

    Mueller is so beyond corrupt.

    I'd like to see what someone finds on him if they tear his life apart.

    Axios reports, "Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has verbally “offered to resign” in discussions with White House Chief of Staff Kelly, according to a source close to Rosenstein, but as of now, it’s unclear whether his resignation has been accepted. The source said it’s possible nothing happens today."

    This is according to another unknown source within the White House, not from the DOJ, not from Rosenstein, and not from Kelly.

    According to the Times, "Ms. Sanders, in a statement, said that Mr. Rosenstein and Mr. Trump had “an extended conversation” about the reports — including the fact that Mr. Rosenstein had discussed secretly taping the president. She said the two men will meet on Thursday when the president returns to Washington from New York, where he is attending the United Nations General Assembly."

    How many times has Ms. Sanders lied to protect or support Trump? I have lost count.

    I have a hard time believing that Rosenstein would be so careless and stupid as to try to lead a palace revolt two weeks after assuming his duties as deputy A.G., and then trying enlist the help of Trump's closest advisors at the time, Sessions and Kelly.

    Trump targeted Rosenstein months ago, and Rosenstein has not backed down. Now we are supposed to believe, based on the absurd and unbelievable story in the Times -- probably planted by a high level member of Trump's staff -- that Rosenstein is going to quit.

    This wreaks of clumsy White House maneuvering for which the White House is famous.

    A more reasonable story was offered by National Public Radio or NPR. There was far less speculation, particularly by members of the White House staff. The fact is, Americans have learned not to trust the White House.

    NPR's story said, "Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein remained in his job on Monday afternoon after a visit to the White House that sparked a flurry of reports suggesting he might resign or be fired.

    "A person close to Rosenstein said he was expecting to be fired after the New York Times story on Friday about his early tenure in office.

    "Ultimately, he was not removed but the White House did say after his meeting that Rosenstein would return on Thursday for another meeting then with President Trump, who is in New York City on Monday.

    "Trump and Rosenstein "had an extended conversation to discuss the recent news stories," said White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, and Rosenstein is scheduled to return for another conversation in person with the president."

    Sparking a flurry of reports suggesting from the White House Rosenstein might resign or be fired.

    Suggestions are not news. Suggestions are little more than gossip, and this gossip is coming from the White House. That means it is meaningless.

    Mueller is a bully. He put poor Martha in jail without even having established a crime. Her reaction to his abusive prosecutorial overreach was then the basis of her "obstruction" charge... How many innocent folks has Mueller put in jail to feed his ego?

    So did MSNBC, WAPO, NYTs, et al... All now conveniently edited to be accurate after their unfortunate series of un-factual reporting stunts this morning.

    All those "sources close to" etc I think just got punked. Time for the housekeeping squad to find all the latest batch of leakers the MSM have relied on....

    Graham says there is a Bureaucratic coup against Trump. But still told Trump he shouldn't fire Rosenstein.

    "Whenever I meet with him, I always shake his hand, and exclaim how big it is.
    He'll still be a sniveling cry baby, but he won't throw another tantrum and fire you."

    That's what Gen.Kelly did after seeing how Susan Rice and Valerie Jarrett had Gen. Mattis fired by the Obama White House.

    As soon as Gen. Kelly learned that he was next to be purged by the Obama White House from the Officers Corps, Gen. Kelly resigned his commission and retired from the Marine Corps before Obama could add another trophy to his wall.
