Top congressional Democrats told President Trump on Friday that using the new House Intelligence Committee memo as a pretext to fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and therefore halt the Russia investigation would spark a constitutional crisis.
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California said in a letter they are alarmed at reports that Trump may use the memo as a pretext to fire Rosenstein in an effort to corruptly influence or impede special counsel Robert Muellers investigation.
We write to inform you that we would consider such an unwarranted act as an attempt to obstruct justice in the Russia investigation. Firing Rod Rosenstein, DOJ Leadership or Bob Mueller could result in a constitutional crisis of a kind not seen since the Saturday Night Massacre," they said.
Rosenstein is the only Department of Justice official who can remove Mueller, and he was expected to be named in the four-page classified memo made public Friday.

Excellent rant.
That is TOTALLY where we are headed.
If I were Trump, just to cheese the Demondogs off, I’d not fire him, I’d create a new position and reassign him. No pay cut, no black mark on his record but he’d be the station chief for the FBI office in Mentone Texas or Point Barrow Alaska. Then I’d reassign Maddog Mattis to Rosenstien’s current post
Yes, they say he got fed up with Nunes and other Intel Committee members asking for records he is withholding and threatened to seek all texts from them! All while hiding evidence and oversight from Congress!!
I was just thinking the same.
Hillary’s firing from Watergate, for unethical conduct, seems to be forgotten by these ‘Top Dems’.
Indictment after indictment from Rosenstein? Really?
Hey....don’t send this crook to Texas ;-)
FIRE this RAT Bastard!
We already know this Russian thing was BS! So why NOT FIRE Rosenstein?
“I hate to say it but were at a military solution”
The Generals offered Nixon to stand by him, regretfully he didn’t take their offer.
Don’t fire him ‘Strozk’ him. Reassign him to “other duties as assigned”, guarantee this is in his federal job description. Sessions could promote him to the new special projects office, in charge of testing all food served in the DOJ until further notice.
Do you know where Mentone is?
Look it up. It is the county seat of Loving County. It is LITERALLY one of the most desolate places on Earth. Exactly where an East Coast Leftist would not want to go. Loving County does not have enough population to fill all the state-mandated offices. It is hot, remote and only has one or two paved roads in the county. There is no incorporated town. There may not be cell-phone service or cable TV.

They should have immediately called in Capital Police to arrest him for sedition and treason.
>>>Trump shouldnt have to fire him. He should do the right thing and resign<<<
A warm soaking Bath and a sharp Razor beats a Resignation.
“By my way of thinking this Country has been in a Constitutional crisis almost from day one. There have been those who have thwarted and tried to thwart the Constitution as the ink dried.”
TRUTH.
Yes. I know where Mentone is. How do YOU know where it is? :-)
Again....don’t send him to TX!!
I don’t see why Sessions shouldn’t be indicted, too.
These people will never resign. There are some legal protections for politicians and political appointees while ‘performing their official duties’ to prevent frivolous or abusive lawsuits. Any real or perceived immunities will be exercised until the last possible moment.
As long as the captains are afraid to use their legal authorities the bad actors will continue to act bad. Crooks are not sorry for stealing, they are sorry they hot caught. Until fired, cuffed, and stuffed, they are not caught.
They should have immediately called in Capital Police to arrest him for sedition and treason.
Once proven, then yes.
I think this is something first reported, by Gregg Jarrett, on Hannity, tonight.
He wouldn’t go. The object is to get him to quit by sending him someplace he wouldn’t go.
I worked on a ranch in the area one summer many years ago.
They went all in for their progressive utopia under Obama. President Trump has called and they have no more chips. Time to show the hole cards. Trump does not bluff! MAGA!
Then you REALLY know how hot it gets, in Mentone.
Send him to Gitmo.
