Notice that Rosenweasel does not explicitly deny that he suggested, directly or indirectly, that somebody record Trump.

"Has Sessions started leaking to the Slimes?"

It looks more like McCabe is trying to save his bacon.

Why did Rosenstein even bother mention the 25th Amendment in his reply? He could have said NY Times is full of crap in 100 different ways, but he chose this.

His whole statement is really weird but that in particular stands out.

Maybe McCabe.

According to the Times, Rosenstein’s remarks were documented in part in memos written by Andrew McCabe, the former FBI deputy director who was fired by the Justice Department in March.

It is actually pretty rare for someone in Rosenstein’s position to make a comment like this

In politics never believe anything until it has been offically denied.

LOL, Rod just confirmed the NYT story.

An “anonymous source” doesn’t like being the target of “anonymous sources”.

I doubt this is true; it’s based on McCabe’s memos, which are bull.

It’s a non-denial denial. He said that he, personally, did not see behavior that would justify invoking the 25th Amendment. Invoking the 25th Amendment requires the cooperation of the Vice President, currently Mike Pence. First secret agenda is to get Mike Pence to resign, by losing the trust of President Trump. Plus:

I theorize that the White House and President Trump’s phones are all tapped and monitored 24/7. And that the rumors of leaks are false, trying to goad Trump into failing to trust people that Trump should trust. The biggest obvious effect is that good, competent people that might want to work for Trump refuse to put themselves in the crossfire hurricane. So Trump gets no support or doesn’t fire the ones who are back-stabbing.

Note that one year and eight months into the Presidency, Trump cannot fire Sessions because this Senate will not approve of any replacement, so Trump would be stuck with Rosenstein or worse running the DOJ. The DNC knows that they are losing the 2018 election, so are trying to stir up more chaos in the White House to influence public opinion. Plus, after January 1, 2019, under new law President Trump will be able to [REDACTED]. Trust the plan, but not most of the people in and out of the plan.

Note that 36 Republicans and 15 Dhiimorats are leaving. This number is especially high for the Republican party in power. Plus, at least 8 Senators in December 2016 will not be Senators in January 2019. Biggest turnover in decades. Why? The plan.

The corrupt ones in the DOJ and Intelligence Bureaucracy expect (AND WITH CAUSE) that the New York Times will back them in their scams, lies and coups ...

This must have been shocking... to them ... to me ... to all of us who know they're corrupt and dirty and always side with the people who hate us.

This is not fake news. I guarantee you that someone else was debating revealing this rat for who he is, and the NYT sleazes wanted to get ahead of the story.

I saw those “weasel words,” too, CaptainK. Typical.

“The New York Times’s story is inaccurate and factually incorrect.”

Pretty much par for the course at the NYT.
