DJT is settling all “family business” after the midterms. First body dropped: Jeff Sessions. Who’s next? Rosenstein was already neutered a few weeks back, but now there’s an acting A-G who ranks him. So I guess Rod is the second body to drop.
IMO, if there is an honest to goodness investigation into the collusion between HRC & DNC with FBI & CIA and foreign agents, then Rod Rosenstein is either a conspirator or material witness and putting him under the microscope would force him to resign.
Possibly the same with Mueller.
Instead of firing them, and as much as I dislike the SP law, I am of the opinion that the corruption in the DOJ (FBI, CIA, Obama WH) to collude and conspire with the DNC and HRC campaign needs to be investigate by a Special Prosecutor. The DOJ cannot investigate itself. That is too big a conflict of interest. This situation more than almost any other I can think of begs for a Special Prosecutor to investigate.
Trump is already under investigation. He was specifically targeted by the Mueller appointment letter. So now, just appoint another one to cover the other candidates and parties involved in the 2016 election - in the interest of getting foreign (and domestic) influence out of our elections. An honest investigation will show Rod to be conflicted and IMO he would be forced to resign, and a new SP will have to call Mueller to give testimony which would also expose some of his conflicts... maybe not make him resign, but enough to keep him in check.
I think Trump is setting the stage to take this into phase 2. But don’t trust me, because I am down on myself over being way too optimistic about the elections. Trump gave me a shot of morale today, I am very happy to see things move and hope they move swiftly to bring justice to the conspirators. Once the House changes hands their investigation will end... someone has to pick it up where they left off. IMO, a SP is the only real and honest solution since DOJ can’t investigate its own.
