The White House is preparing talking points designed to undermine Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's credibility, according to sources familiar with the plan. The plan calls on President Donald Trump's allies to cast Rosenstein as too conflicted to fairly oversee the Russia investigation. The talking points are still in their preliminary form, and not yet finalized, people familiar with their preparation said. The White House and the Justice Department declined to comment. Already, a number of Trump's associates have called for Rosenstein's firing in appearances on television and in public remarks over the past few days, but not all of them did so at the request of the White House.
As special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Trump encroaches further into the President's inner circle, his allies outside the White House are ramping up their efforts both to defend him and to encourage a tougher stance against a probe they claim has dramatically overstepped its bounds. FBI agents relied on search warrants that had been executed by the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York in conducting the raid. They obtained the warrants after receiving a referral from Mueller's office.

First, it is CNN so even if true they will and are trying to spin as something nefarious. I hope it is true. I’ve been wondering why they haven’t been hitting both Rosenstein and Mueller as totally conflicted and coconspirators. They have enough facts for both, as does the Republican Congress, which should be shouting daily about the corrupt “Russia” investigation. But of course, CNN is trying to make readers believe that this, if true, is illegal, unethical or whatever other BS wrong they are trying to make it seem like.
CNN....Could this be fake news?
‘If Rosenstein altered documents or presented altered documents, someone is going to prison.’
And it won’t be Rosenstein.
‘My name is Rod Rosenstein. I like threatening Congressmen, accepting bribes, authorizing illegal searches and seizures, and plotting to overthrow a sitting president. My friends and I can break any laws that we want because I run the DoJ, and it’s not like I’m going to prosecute myself.’

It's more than Rosenstein overseeing Mueller. Rosenstein is also overseeing all Deep State investigations.
Trump needs to free himself of leakers.
You don’t need an anonymous queer to tell you which way the wind blows
Sounds like they are back spying on Trump.
not sure they ever stopped...the “new” FBI probably have been for many years
Well the previous president had his spy agencies spy on the press,U.S.Senate,President candidate,President Elect,U.S.citi zens, etc.
CNN? Fake news CNN?.
Why undermine. Just fire Rosenweasel.
It’s not rocket science.
I don’t have much experience with queers, so I defer to your personal knowledge.
When did it stop?
I’m not sold on Q.

Me neither...I’ll wait for ‘R’ for definitive reading of the entrails. ;-)
When draining a swamp like this, things are never what they appear to be on the surface.
You’re right about that. I’m trying hard to see a way to effectively neuter him and move in other, more unbiased, players into power.
This is an awful mess.
CNN is helping drain the swamp?
Ok. That’s a new one.
LOL.
I like “R” too.
Sessions is scum, impeach and prosecute him.
Just a few weeks ago someone on TV was reading an article from the Clinton era praising how Clinton and his team were undermining and discrediting that investigation.
According to sources.....their fantasy.
I don't think I said or implied that.
Come on Mountain Man...I have known you for a long time.
You are a straight shooter.
