Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein approved an application last year to extend surveillance of former Trump campaign associate Carter Page, a secret Republican memo claims, according to law enforcement sources and news reports.
Rosenstein has been fighting the release of the memo from inside the Justice Department, sources confirm.
According to three people familiar with the memo, the FBI and Justice Department’s (DOJ) application was based partially on research by investigator Christopher Steele, who contributed to a dossier containing unverified claims about President Trump‘s ties to Russia.

So speculation is compromised #2 Andrew McCabe finally forced out after FBI Director reviews the memo exposing Obama FBI/DOJ abuses of FISA process targeting @RealDonaldTrump. #ReleaseTheMemo is a given at this point.

Be ready for CNN reporting this is Trump obstruction
Not necessarily commenting on just this article.
But is Feb 1st opening day of suicide season? Or is Hillary and crowd comfortable with the underlings taking one for the team without singing?
The “firing” statement is unsourced.
I wouldn’t jump for joy just yet.
“I knew Rosenstein from his days at the Tax Division. Let’s just say this is no surprise at all. His role there coincided with a litany of dubious cases and unethical practices. His quick hiring of Mueller was not an accident; it was an attempted cover-up of his own bad acts.” Robert Barnes - Barnes_Law https://twitter.com/Barnes_Law/status/958038348991365120
Fredo Rosenstein the rat set Trump up. Fire him and put on an ankle bracelet.
What’s funny, the msm is still rather quiet about this.
Their world is about ready to be rocked.
I envision Strzok and Page to leave soon, too.
This is going to be a very interesting State of the Union Address and post address.
yep...looks like Rosenstein has got next on the heart attack list....
They already are:
"Over the span of mere minutes, CNN's @Acosta went from saying McCabe voluntarily quit to implying Trump obstructed justice by firing him. What in the world is going on at that network?"

Thomas Paine at True Pundit has certainly jumped the gun before, but is reliable more often than not. Let’s say, more reliable than Jim Acosta at CNN. Granted, that’s a pretty low bar....
Undercover? Pretty lousy at flying below the radar, if ya ask me.
Yep. Just release the warrant itself.
Most of these swamp stories read like this - I know a guy whose brother in law ... It sounds like it’s as inbread as Appalachia, which is insulting Appalachia.
Weird story as the headline - FBI Official: Rosenstein Will Be Fired After Memo Released; USED Bogus Dossier for FISA Warrant
- does not even appear in the article, nor is there any allusion to it.
Remember “ALL THIS” was after Jeff Sessions recused himself from so-called Russian Interference in 2016 election. After media hound dogs turned up some lies of his testimony (I still need to check on this).
After Sessions is removed, Rosenstein then was able to hire his own buddy Mueller as Special Counsel for Russia Investigation, the whole CYA operation farce started.
Yes, he did set him up. I believe the Democrats call what he and that dirty cop comey and Mueller did “collusion”.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.
