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.

Another Rebus recommendation?.
Preibus, sorry, Apple spell to the rescue. Apologies
It is time for a Civics lesson....
Donald J. Trump is President of the United States you commie bass turds and he can Rosenstien if he wants to.
They do have visions of Watergate dancing in their skulls. But they can’t conceive the concept that this one is innocent and the guilty are all in the UniParty.
Could it be that Mueller suddenly realized that if he sentences Flynn on a bogus charge, his own sentence may be much more harsh?
Or is it the thought of Flynn fighting back with his new knowledge of why the evidence against him should be suppressed? I bet discovery in that case would be really interesting.
OK then, here’s a fair question to the people who complained about 45 years ago, “It wasn’t the crime (a third-rate botched burglary) but the attempts at a cover up!”:
“How much longer do you expect to continue this dog-and-pony ‘resistance’ masquerading as a legitimate investigation?
Particularly in light of the revelations of your party’s naked and cynical corruption of government made noon today.”
Can’t they do both?
Rosenstein is a corrupt, criminal, turd who needs to be fired, flushed, prosecuted, and imprisoned. The sooner the better.
Sessions needs to do his JOB and quit putting turds like Rosenstein in their places. Makes me question Sessions’ judgement on several levels.
One more reason to fire him.
When will Democrats learn ...
NOT TO THREATEN PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP?
They need to realize they are not in charge and Republicans, as dumb as we are, control Congress and the WH...
liberals never learn from their errors..
The political support needs to be harnessed to keep the momentum going forward.

“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.”
I realize that they’re masters of projection, but that’s in-your-face audacity right there.
what hypocrites
The Constitution itself was a constitutional crisis. Just ask Brutus:

Rosenstein has a clear conflict of interest, since he is now overseeing a special counsel investigation while he himself is a person of interest as either a witness or a target.
What would Dems do if Trump fired Rosenstein- launch a special prosecutor?
He ought to name Gowdy as deputy assistant AG, and then fire Boente and Rosenstein.
And Mueller next
Hillary Clinton Bruce & Nellie Ohr Christopher Steele Rosenstein Comey & Trump
Yup, just reveal supporting documents and allow him to be indicted.
But Mueller is a useful whipping boy for Trump to teach ordinary Americans that Democrats are evil.
Rodenstein is in bed with the Dems, of course they want to protect him!
