Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein visited the White House on Tuesday for what was described as "routine meetings."

Rosenstein, who is overseeing Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of possible Trump campaign collusion with Russia, did not meet with President Trump, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement.

Sanders did not identify the officials with whom Rosenstein met during his visit.

He should be fired for the timing of his Russian indictment announcement. It was CLEARLY designed to result in this fallout. It’s not like it couldn’t wait.

Trump needs to do two things right away:

1) Fire Rosenstein for his PR stunt. Trump cannot permit what has become a fourth branch of government to interfere with, or conduct its own, foreign policy. Trump has to restore authority over these rogue agencies.

2) Commence the process of massively declassifying thousands of documents relating to the Russia probe and related FISA applications.

Think President Trump needs to do what he thinks he needs to do. I’m not of the mind that he needs to do any massive action.

He clearly knows what he’s doing. Big things are coming out on #SpyGate, of this there should be no doubt.

He is being systematically undercut by Rosenstein, Mueller and even Sessions. Don’t underestimate these people or their numerous Deep State allies. They are a dangerous lot.

You fail to appreciate just how far the Deep State is willing to go to trap Trump. They are not going away, not giving up, and not giving in. And they have powerful resources at their disposal. They are many; Trump is one.

Never, ever underestimate your enemies.

He wasn’t there very long. Was he escorted from the building?

In a manner of speaking...

I sort of had the same thought, that Putin gave him some deep state info.

It would be a hoot if Trump would just start yanking RR’s chain...call him to the White House, then make him sit for hours, then cancel and resched for the next day...wash, rinse, repeat.

They were having a party with Hostess Ho Hos and vanilla ice cream and why shouldn’t they call Rod to be at the party?

Kellyanne: Rod, baby, loved your latest. Where do you come up with that crazy stuff. Wild. Outasight.
By the way the President is going to fire your ass tomorrow morning. Just a tip.

President Trump is aware of the Deep State undercutting him and who the players are but what they don’t know is he’s holding a strong hand.

He’ll let them know when it’s time. Then he strikes like a cheetah.

****************

The latest Deep State effort to undercut the president was a particularly devious one. Rosenstein and Mueller timed their announcement of the Russian indictments just before Trump’s critical meeting with Putin. Regardless of how we see this, THEY view it as a successful “operation” against Trump. There will be more.

And if you noticed, their allies in the media were part of the plot. Listen to the Helsinki press conference again; both Reuters and AP press the same issue. This is no accident.

The point is, we can expect even more of these kinds of ambushes, some of which could have profoundly damaging impacts on the president’s ability to conduct both foreign policy.

The latest Deep State effort against Trump is an indication of just how far they are willing to go to destroy him. I don’t think Trump fully grasps the severity of the threat they pose to him. He seems oblivious to it and unwilling to take decisive action to remove them before they strike again.

Yes, thanks for your detailed comments but I’m not in agreement. President Trump is not yielding to any domestic criticism; he’s acting as he always does to get results.

He’s also not going to be on the receiving end. A look at his Twitter account shows anything but.

When he hits back will be a thing of beauty. I have no qualms about how he will fare against the Deep State and their individual actors.
