Rosenweasel recommended that Trump fire Comey.

Of course he did. In the hopes he would get the job. He didn't, so he turns on Trump.................

Personally, I think Rosenstein has reached the point where he’s no longer a problem for Trump and has become an asset. Unwittingly, of course.

Why is POTUS surrounded by so many in his own administration who wish him ill? Is he doing the “keep your enemies closer” thing?

So is this deep state tossing the Weasel overboard or McCabe, Stryok or Comey getting some payback?

The extreme suggestions show Mr. Rosenstein’s state of mind in the disorienting days that followed Mr. Comey’s dismissal. Sitting in on Mr. Trump’s interviews with prospective F.B.I. directors and facing attacks for his own role in Mr. Comey’s firing, Mr. Rosenstein had an up-close view of the tumult. Mr. Rosenstein appeared conflicted, regretful and emotional, according to people who spoke with him at the time.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Rosenstein is toast!

So which is lying, the NYT or CNBC?

Could be both, I guess.

Are you suggesting that Rosenstein stay in his position?

Could Trump have planted this story in order to troll Rosenweasel? Is he that good a tactician?

Looks like Mueller has decided that Rosenstein is no longer a useful idiot. Just an idiot.

NY Times trying to get Rosenshiite fired just before mid-term elections to generate controversy?

As much as I hate this scumbag, I'd want absolute proof before making any moves. The NY Times is an inherently depraved organization that is capable of anything.

[ Rosentein will be fired by this evening. ]

I would be surprised if anything big happened before the SC appointment.
