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: Hes 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.
If he resigns, good. Shows some honor. If hes fired, Trump just took the bait from NYT.
AP on Twitter with it too
Dies this torpedo the Q secret sting theories? Wasn’t RR supposed to be a white hat?
“Goodbye Mr Rosenstein” said a certain someone. LOL.
Another swamp creature bites the dust. Good riddance!
Agreed.
That's the best one yet! Rat Rodent-stink! LOL
Rosenstein was the plug that prevented the draining of the swamp. Now that the plug has been pulled, it will be amusing to view the vile creatures squirming in the muck and mire.
Though I think Ill save the popcorn for much later.
He may lose some bennies if he’s fired rather than quits. But how long does it take to scrawl “Screw you, I quit, love Rosenweasel” on a piece of paper with a pen?
Fox says he is being fired, not resigning.
Hire Deginova as deputy AG then fire sessions! Then Deginova becomes AG.
He’s not expecting Trump to fire him. If anything, maybe Jeffy finally woke up and had a come to Jesus with Rod. But Trump wouldn’t dare right now. Or it could be Rod is quitting because he can’t stand the heat anymore now that he’s been found out and he’s using “getting fired by Trump” to drum up sales for his new book and hits for his gofundme page. Rod and the media are trying to convince the public that Trump fired him so the dems will yell and scream for another investigation. Kinda neat how simply quitting kills so many birds with one stone.
True enough, but martyrism is short-lived to the Left which is furious at the Democrat/Leftist Party leadership because Donald Trump is still President Trump. I think the benefits outweigh the downside for the President on this one. Cheers!

BREAKING: AP Source: Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein is expecting to be fired, heading to White House Monday morning.
He must be prosecuted, and his pension stripped.
Lots of positions held by people in "acting" roles right now ...
Panuccio is like 37 years old.
This may be what "draining the Swamp" looks like.
Trump is in NYC for UN speech.
Fox is saying he was/is going to be fired. Little mention of resigning.
I hope this is true. I had a little bet elbow grease.
Hoping to pay up.
Resigning or fired?
