Trump has a right to know who they are.

He fired Comey at the beginning of his term, when he was still appointing people and had only a small group around him. Trump has been surrounded by Brutus and the Senate since he started!

People attacked me but I say again: who is left besides Ivanka and Don Jr. for Trump to confide in and talk to? Cohen and Omarosa and who else had secret tape recorders. Everyone would trash his life if it meant saving themselves from Dem prosecutors.

Even though this story is fake, the idea is not so far fetched. Disloyalty is lower than a crawling snake’s belly. Ask the Mafia.

He said that he knew two guys who were over heard to say that they heard a guy talking about two others guys who were completely ready to think about opposing Trump.
Come on.

I’ll venture a guess. Elaine Chao because she’s Mitch McConnell’s wife, and maybe one of the already departed cabinet members in Rex Tillerson or Nikki Haley!

Trump at fancy dinner beside a foreign leader who says “Oh, they forgot to give me a steak knife.”

Trump: “Here, just take one from out of my back.”

Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Doesn't say anything about any role for career DC bureaucrats in the process.

I'd call it an attempted coup. They should all hang.

“Trump has a right to know who they are.”

Put me in a room with Rosenstein, a waterboard and two big dudes.

I’ll give you the whole truth in 5 minutes.

POTUS MUST know who they are. Anything less is a continuation of the coup.

No, it was not that second-hand at all. He heard it himself.

Rosenstein admitted to it, under the guise of a joke.

How many times have we all heard that “I was only joking” when someone is called out?

I was with you until the 5 minutes part.
Great idea and tactic but please let the waterboarding go on longer for our sake as entertainment and justice. He deserves it.

Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and spokesman Sean Spicer.

We already know that Preibus was on board with finding a replacement for POTUS right before the election after the Access Hollywood stuff came out. Heck, they were actively trying to recruit Mike Pence to fill the roll if Trump went down in flames. His feelings never changed. Why did Trump bring him on board as Chief of staff? Keep your enemies close.

Spicer, for his part, was never on board. The reason why he looked like such a dufus when addressing the press pool is because he didn't stand with the President on any issue. Notice how fast he moved to embrace the left by association after his departure. Chilling with Colbert and Kimmel, then hosting the Emmys, then a guest appearance on SNL. Yea, Good riddance.
