Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is reportedly on his way to the White House after Jeff Sessions was asked to resign Wednesday. Rosenstein currently oversees special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into potential Russian collusion and interference in the 2016 presidential election. President Trump tweeted Wednesday that Sessions’ chief of staff Matthew Whitaker, a prominent Mueller critic, would be named acting attorney general.

So maybe he’s just out.

[timestax]

Check him for wires.

they would be complete morons to try to impeach..

ahh, but you see, they ARE complete morons. You are correct, nobody with halfway decent political judgment or a fully functioning brain would attempt it. But their base of deranged moonbats and Tom Steyer's checkbook are going to insist.

Could be, if they tried they would be ensuring Trump’s victory in 2020

[jjotto]

I agree.

Dems have made clear they’re going to mercilessly harrass the President. Give ‘em something to squeal about!

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Pelosi is going to try to impeach him anyway so he may as well clean house.

Good point.

Whitaker has not recused himself, and he is who Mueller answers to now. Rosenstein is no longer a player. The question at this point is, will he still have a job tomorrow.

"Reassignment"

I'm wagering on a announcement that Rod is reassigned and that Whitaker is in charge.

[Truth29]

I’ll wait for something concrete before I pop the champagne. This is eerily similar to the same type of report about a month ago and nothing came of it.

[Sarah Barracuda]

According to Sara Carter..supposedly Donald Trump Jr is telling friends he fears he might get indicted by Mueller(For the Trump tower meeting) I hope that is NOT true I read those stupid rumors weeks ago

[DoughtyOne]

Could be. Whatever, it can’t be good for Rosenstein, Mueller, and the coup focuses rabble-rousers.

...

As Trump said this morning, the Senate can do their own investigations of the Democrats, plus Trump is now going to gain control of the DOJ, which he should have had from the first day.

I hope Rosenweasel will be tamed today.

“No, because Whitaker is now in charge of Mueller.”

The question is when Whitaker fires mueller and his cabal of high treason co-conspirators, will Mueller leak his report to the press? Or somehow his report will find its way to congress...I’m expecting that to happen.

"Reassignment"

Rod is now in charge of the pencil sharpeners.

[Styria]

Is there any reason Whitaker would have to recuse himself, or can he be Mueller’s boss now too?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Mueller leak his report to the press? Or somehow his report will find its way to congress...I’m expecting that to happen.

Yes but exit polls showed most voters think the whole thing is a sham, so Trump is probably OK letting him throw the hissy fit.

[STJPII]

LOVE that “reassignment” thing!

[Rebelbase]

Forever to be known as the Wednesday post election massacre!

[Electric Graffiti]

If it were only a hissy fit. This is a coup. The left are determined to rule one way or another. The media will go to defcon 1 with the report. They want to bring the country to crisis anyways.
