“Trump may want to wait until he has 5 reliable SCOTUS votes before tangling with RR in court.”
Everyone is so sure the RR is a powerful deep state nemesis that Trump should fear. I guess that’s because RR appears to be protected. From all appearances it looks like Trump can’t touch him and he can get away with brushing off congress with impunity.
But there’s another explanation besides deep state protection - it could be Trump that’s protecting him.
Its quite possible RR has been turned and Trump finds him to be a useful tool in the DOJ precisely because of his reputation as a Trump adversary.
This type of strange bedfellows situation happens all the time in politics - Trump may even be going out of his way to cultivate the appearance that he is at odds with RR and Sessions - doing so may ultimately make it easier for them to defend and vindicate Trump without it being spun as a whitewash.
My point is that we don’t know much - all we see is behavior - Rosenstien behaves like a man under protection and Trump behaves like a man who is unafraid.
LOL!!! I can’t catch my breath.
That is possible. And if DJT is not sure whether RR is an agent of evil, waiting until he has 5 SCOTUS votes makes sense too.
But even if at some point DJT is sure that RR is corrupt, bearing in mind that senate RINOs promised not to approve a replacement should RR be fired, it's possible that whoever took control of the DOJ would be worse.
