I think the deep state want Rod to be fired and thus the news popping up the last few days starting with that NYT article..

[E. Pluribus Unum]

They made the whole thing up to begin with.

Nobody knows anything for sure. Disinformation is key to every war.

[catnipman]

it was totally fake news in the first place that Rodenstein was going to be fired, so now the lying leftist fake stream enemedia is making up some new fake news that he’s NOT going to be fired ... because, you know, he didn’t get fired even though the lying leftist fake stream enemedia fabricated his demise ... at this point, i don’t know why ANYONE believes a damn thing the lying leftist fake stream enemedia publishes about anything, including weather and traffic reports ...

Why incur the political flack from firing him? He’ll have to quit or be removed when the unredacted Carter Page FISA warrant is released. The full document is prima facie evidence of a crime, and his signature is on it.

He can’t be both investigator and investigat-ee.

Re: “Rod J. Rosenstein’s departure seemed so certain this week that his boss’s chief of staff told colleagues that he had been tapped by the White House to take over as second-in-command of the Justice Department...”

Please tell me this is a sick joke or a lie.

After Jeff Sessions recused himself, Trump still nominated Rod Rosenstein to be Deputy A.G., even though Rosenstein had worked for Obama for eight years.

Only six Democrat Senators voted against Rosenstein.

Rosenstein then appointed Mueller, who was Obama’s FBI Director. Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer and RINO Senator Rob Portman publicly praised Mueller.

Rosenstein then let Mueller run wild for 15 months.

Now, Trump wants to give the Deputy A.G. job to Rosenstein’s Chief of Staff?

If true, that is totally sick.

Exactly. It's a trap, and Trump is not falling for it.

The Deep State was trying to goad Trump into firing Rat Rosenstein so they could derail the confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh in the Senate. They would have used parliamentary procedures to shut the Senate completely down under the guise of a "Constitutional crisis" so that a floor vote would not take place.

Remember: Kasich slipped during an interview and said that John McCain was "put to death."

CNN - Kasich Saying John McCain Was Put to Death

Senator Lindsey Graham (a retired Air Force full Colonel and military JAG) questioned Judge Kavanaugh specifically on the Constitutionality of using military tribunals to prosecute civilians:

Senator Lindsey Graham Questions Brett Kavanaugh Military Law vs Criminal Law

The Deep State got the message, loud and clear - if Kavanaugh gets in, the Supreme Court majority will rule that the Deep State can be prosecuted and even executed for treason and sedition.

They are pulling out all the stops against Kavanaugh, not only because of Abortion, but because they fear that justice may finally be done regarding their many crimes.

Hold your friends close, and your enemies closer...also the enemy (Rod) of my enemy (McCabe) is my friend.

Trump, after castling, making a 4D Knight-takes-Rook here to pin the Bishop and allow Lady Liberty (the Queen) free roam on the board.

Nice of Rod to reveal himself as a beta male ("I'll wear a wire, promise! What about the 25th Amendment, guyzzz? Just give me Sessions slot!")

[Buckeye McFrog]

Since the mainstream media were almost unanimously wrong in their reporting on this, you are likely correct.

[xzins]

I always thought it wouldn’t be until after midterms.

But he could be reassigned within doj because of his conflicts.

This would suggest Mueller better get his report out before he gets shitcanned

[Truth29]

I trust that President Trump will make sure that Rosenstein is not using any means of recording the meeting and probably have Kelly in the room during the meeting, too.
