And it just so happens that Schumer has made veiled threats to Rosenstein. I’d bet the source of the resignation rumor is Schumer, hoping he could give Rosenstein a hint..

I’m starting to form a really wicked theory about this. It’s just too juicy.

The Blizzard of Lies continues.
It’s getting more difficult to know what’s true.
The prior report sounded credible, but we must still question it, due to all the sour-grape Hillary Zombies out there.

If it's true, I don't want to give it away.

I bet the MSM figures it out soon enough, as their Comey narrative goes down the tubes.

Of course, if he lies at his hearing next week and says he was "seeking additional resources" and he never told DJT he wasn't a target of investigation, all bets are off.

Didn’t McCabe testify today Comey didn’t ask for additional resources? I thought I heard that but there’s so much flung dung by the media that maybe I’m wrong.

They just keep making stuff up.
1. Comey asked for more resources and money for the Russian investigation. I watched part of the Senate hearing today and McCabe said they had all the needed resources and that if they did need more resources,they would have to ask Congress and not Justice Dept. Also Justice department denies any request was made to them.

2. Deputy AG threatened to resign. Deputy AG says that is false.

People are just throwing Poo on the wall and the MSM is doing their best to make it stick.

Their “inside sources” are either other reporters or left-wing think tanks. Either way, it is clear that objective journalism is dead and getting deader every day.

Isn’t it the Compost that just recently adopted some smug banner on their newspaper like “Compost requires darkness”.

You’re right, but the networks are just going to ignore it and keep repeating the lie.

I think the WP doesn’t even have any sources. They just put that out because they know that they can’t be forced to dis lose anything. So they are free to just make things up.

Rod Rosenstein personally took down Gen. James Cartwright of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for leaking to the New York Times. Succinctly and successfully making the case against an FBI Director seemed easy for him. Schumer had best step very, very carefully in being the Times’ revenge agent.

It’s a fake news hat trick.

First they said Comey was expanding the investigation.
Then they said Comey had asked for more resources.
Next they said that the AAG had threatened to quit.

All fake news.
