Um, that’s the way it’s done.
You ask for his resignation.
Even honorable miscreants understand the deal.
I thought resignation in anticipation was an interesting gambit - wondering if that was enough to set off the Congress like a bunch of poo-flinging monkeys.
Not sure a resignation would be accepted. They may want to take him out of the office in handcuffs in front of everybody.
You could take away his security clearance.
I think Trump asked him to explain the rumors and second if he’s on the team or not. Will he release all the unredacted documents or not.
I don’t think Trump has any preconceived ideas on Rosentstein.
Trump, above all else, better than anyone in the last 100 years maybe, even longer, has the ability to ferret out BS in a person. He’ll tell in five minutes where things stand with he and Rosenstein.
BOTTOM LINE. ROSENSTEIN IS EITHER A RENTER OR AN OWNER. IS HE INTO THE TRUMP AGENDA FULL TIME OR HALF TIME.
