Attorney General Jeff Sessions recently told the White House he might have to leave his job if President Trump fired his deputy, Rod J. Rosenstein, who oversees the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to people familiar with the exchange.
Sessions made his position known in a phone call to White House counsel Donald McGahn last weekend, as Trumps fury at Rosenstein peaked after the deputy attorney general approved the FBIs raid April 9 on the presidents personal attorney Michael Cohen.

Pelosi desperately wants Trump to fire someone so her pandering for donations using the claim people are getting fired by Trump will have some truth too it.
Pelosi must be devastated that Rosenstein hid the Comey memos for a year. They destroy the entire obstruction narrative and hugely aided and abetted the Mueller/GOPe coup.

I notice that none of these deep thinkers are questioning the timing of this story in light of all the other events that have happened the past couple of days.
I notice none of the blind sunshine pumpers have noticed Rosenstein greatly aided the Mueller/GOPe by keeping the Comey memos hidden for a year. Wake up and smell the coffee, FRiend.

Rosenstein is running the DOJ. If hes fired, Sessions will be a fish out of water; he has no idea how to step into the drivers seat. No matter what anyone says Sessions is a senile old politician who is used to talking about how great he is while doing nothing. Now he is so senile he doesn't talk anymore, he just keeps to himself.
He has no ability to actually be a real leader and run a McDonald's let alone the DOJ. He is a wormy politician, nothing more.

Sessions gets a Free Meal from Rosenstein and how he's his best bud Or maybe he got some of Rosenstein's best bud and now Rod's getting a free lunch!

Definition of abusive ad hominem: "Attacking the person making the argument, rather than the argument itself, when the attack on the person is completely irrelevant to the argument the person is making."
I didn't attack you or anyone else personally. I attacked the inconsistencies of people who believe Sessions is a wuss, and has no spine, yet then turn around and believe he must have a spine after all, to give the President an ultimatum. My comment is totally relevant to the negative comments about Sessions. He's either one or the other. He can't be both.

Fake news without a source. Libs in the government, and their inside MSM are in a panic. Now they’ll have to try go to plan b,c,d, or how about plan F, as in massive FAIL!

Sadly you’re probably right; Sessions is well past his Sell By date.

Can you not even remember what you said??? Yes, calling a human rabid and in need of a booster shot fits the definition:
“Youre being a little rabid about this. Are you due for a booster shot?”

If the WaPo is lying again, surely Trump and/or Sessions will soon correct them.
Right?
