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 he plans to step down.

“Stating a fact is complaining? LOL!”

Would whining be more appropiate?

You are whining.

[Valk Rider]

Yes, you are!

Good choice.

Or, if she’s willing, Harmeet Dhillon.

Especially with those three martinis.

That's his biggest fear, that the article he and his pals planted in the New York Times WON'T result in his firing. They believe that firing him would hurt Republicans in the midterms, and a Democrat Congress will impeach President Trump; and they believe they can spin a firing into an obstruction case, grounds for impeachment.

If he doesn't get fired, all of that goes away. So his next-best alternative is to resign, claiming that he was going to be fired.Hopefully (from their point of view), it has the same effect.

The problem is that if he resigns, Solicitor General Noel Francisco becomes Acting DAG, and therefore is in charge of the Russia probe.

I wonder if that prompts Sessions to un-recuse.

Sadly, it looks like this report was "premature."

Hopefully, they have recording devices.

The Beltway is bad ANYTIME, but the drive from DOJ to the White House doesn’t involve the Beltway.

However, the DC streets can be pretty horrible, at least during business hours. His best bet would be Metro.

If nothing is happening, change the graphic so it appears newsier.

I can’t wait to see Mueller’s name on some redacted docs, forcing him to resign, as well.

I fully expect it.

If you see a dweeb in glasses hitchhiking, do NOT pick him up.

For sure his immediate boss, Jeff Sessions, is not making the right moves here. What pictures of obscene little secrets do the Swamp denizens have on Sessions?

Sessions is not in any danger. He isn't "part of the swamp". Sessions is playing his part to perfection. You'll see.

[mad_as_he$$]

+. Good advice!

Replacement is in place already.

"I can’t wait to see Mueller’s name on some redacted docs, forcing him to resign, as well. I fully expect it."

Republican Congressman have seen the unredacted versions and likely have copies. Why are they not talking? Why do they not email copies to Sean Hannity? Hannity asked on his show to have them leaked, now it's legal to do so and they still do nothing.

The Republicans clearly don't want to win.

Good grief, you kidding right? Surely you just forgot the /S !

Found this post of yours on another thread.

Honestly I'm at a loss for what the President is doing.

Have to say, I agree with you on this one. OTOH, I'm not at a loss as to what Trump is doing. I guess that goes with the territory of reaching beyond the censored scope of Free Republic.

ok im not sure what you are getting at. private message is fine if you dont want to post. It the President wants to ask him to resign in person thats fine but there should be nothing rosenstein could say that allows him to continue in his position. Thursday has to be rosensteins last day. The President should use this chance to fire Sessions as well. Both should have been gone to over a year ago.
