Scoop: Rod Rosenstein is resigning
Axios ^

Posted on 09/24/2018 7:42:59 AM PDT by TigerClaws

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has verbally resigned to Chief of Staff John Kelly in anticipation of being fired by President Trump, according to a source with direct knowledge.

Per a second source with direct knowledge: “He’s expecting to be fired,” so plans to step down. Background: Rosenstein talked last year invoking the 25th Amendment and wearing a wire during Trump meetings, the N.Y. Times' Adam Goldman and Michael S. Schmidt reported last week. He denied both allegations.

You know he’s going to join the coup plotters behind the scenes now. I wonder how many documents he stole and recordings he made in the last few months?

ROSENSTEIN OUT WHO RUNS RUSSIA PROBE & MUELLER:

That man would be Noel Francisco, the current Solicitor General. From 2003 to 2005 he was Deputy Asst. Attorney General of the Bush administration.

“...Trump referred to Rosenstein as a lingering stench....”

Trump was being very kind, all factors considered.

He tried to clean the documents up. Those that were watching caught him and archived the details he was trying to delete.

“Maybe true may not. Time will tell”

If true Axios can brag. If false no one will remember.

"@foxnews (Catharine Herridge) confirms that DAG Rod Rosenstein did in fact resign to Kelly, WH is seeking confirmation."

The WH is seeking confirmation??? Talk about confusion.

Now thinking for a moment, this might be a plot by deep state to FORCE trump to take action against Rosenstein. Someone leaked that he’s resigning, now he’s not resigning and the WH has to fire him. A deep state person could have told Rod that he’s about to be fired today or tomorrow to plant a seed and cause chaos

I want Kavanaugh on Supreme Court. He's on appeals court as continued fall-back, why would he take political DOJ/FBI role?

Regarding Ed Whelan, what are his qualifications? I don't know his history beyond his recent scheming to support Kavanaugh.

Congress was also prepared to impeach Rosenstein over attempted coup comments.

Snort. Yeah, right, JW.

Rosenweasel may be bugging, but it's not cuz he's scared of bloody Congress....
