It all centers around this meeting. Rosenstein won't be there, but his associate deputy will be. Hence “the recusal” but not really. More about optics, in my view

Oh, mark my word, corlorde, this will not be a symbolic recusal. Rosenstein is out, whether he remains employed but recused and replaced in the matters at hand, or is totally separated from service in the DOJ, I'm thinking that deal was made yesterday and we are just waiting for the officially approved mainstream media confirmation.

He will not be at the meeting because they don't want him to peruse the evidence (dirty) they have on him that requires his removal, though of course the Donald most likely showed/told him about it yesterday in front of Wray and Sessions.

Make no mistake. Rosenstein is gutted.

Bank it.
