The White House is preparing talking points designed to undermine Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's credibility, according to sources familiar with the plan. The plan calls on President Donald Trump's allies to cast Rosenstein as too conflicted to fairly oversee the Russia investigation. The talking points are still in their preliminary form, and not yet finalized, people familiar with their preparation said. The White House and the Justice Department declined to comment. Already, a number of Trump's associates have called for Rosenstein's firing in appearances on television and in public remarks over the past few days, but not all of them did so at the request of the White House.
As special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Trump encroaches further into the President's inner circle, his allies outside the White House are ramping up their efforts both to defend him and to encourage a tougher stance against a probe they claim has dramatically overstepped its bounds. FBI agents relied on search warrants that had been executed by the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York in conducting the raid. They obtained the warrants after receiving a referral from Mueller's office.

Personally, I don’t give a rip how little support he has in Washington. What counts is how much support he has everywhere else.
If he calls on the people of this nation to come to Washington to help him drain the swamp; or, if he appeals for us to take the issue to our congress critters...he will get it.
It is well past time for us to expect this one man to fully kick open the dam holding the swamp water. He’ll need our help.
What is new in this CNN story?
I think most of us have known most of this for weeks now.
Is CNN cracking up. Or maybe they think people get their “news” from them. Nothing is further from the truth.
They better start paying attention to what the President calls them, or they will be gone and no one will miss them. They better start paying attention to the “real news.”
Furthermore, I just don’t believe that the result of POTUS
firing any or all of them, will cause the earthshaking predictions made by the left/dems/media/soros/NAACP/jim Acosta, etc. because they run around screaming like their hair was on fire now. So...what, exactly, would be different.
Unless the base would leave him...NOT.A.CHANCE.
I'm sure they didn't (unless leaked). This was suggested by Alan Dershowitz recently, because Rosenstein is conflicted. He's a witness for the defense, and therefore can't ethically be part of the prosecution. You're hearing this breathlessly from CNN because the left knows this is a very legitimate and justified way to get rid of Rosenstein from the investigation, and they're afraid that this will derail Mueller.
First thing you do on thread is see what the source is. In this case it's CNN. Not credible at all. Strike 1.
Next thing is to read the article for the named sources for the story. In this case, there are none. Just the nebulous, "sources familiar with the plan." Strike 2.
And finally, asked the question, what would be reasonable to believe here? That the WH leaked the plan or that someone made this up at CNN and ran the fake news as a breaking story?
In this last case, a reasonable man would say, "Why in the name of Randolph Scott would the WH telegraph this?" Strike 3.
The story is not believable given who the news organization is, the lack of named sources, and it is just not reasonable to expect that the White House to release this to the media.
Slide Scott Pruitt of EPA in as Attorney General. AFTER firing Jeff Sessions. Then Pruitt axes Rosenstein and puts some of his own Oklahoma people in. Since they come from Oklahoma and will return to Oklahoma they will not care what the Deep State scum in DC try to dump on them and their wives won’t much care either. Trump needs people working for him who are not embedded in DC with families and children going to schools there.
Trump needs appointees who want to work for him in DC then return home far away from the SWAMP.
Inside the Beltway is an anti-Trump lynch mob. Half or more of the US likes Trump but it is very intimidating for Trump in DC.
You get it— so here is a quiz. How many people has Trump appointed to the Dept of Justice?
“You are being played”
You gotta admit, this stuff is all immersed in a fog.
That's why I don't listen to you.
Your loss. I’m never wrong ;)
Regardless....he’s still a shifty eyed son of a bitch.
LEAKS, LEAKS, LEAKS!
they aren't. Traitors are literally crawling all over this administration.
“Rod Rosenstein’s credibility”
That’s a winner.
Eric Holder said that first.
that’s what I think. Traitors.
We are at a point where it makes no sense for CNN to keep making stuff up. There is no future in it.
Has the President tweeted it as fake news ? and if he doesn’t, does it gives the story credence ?
I know people leak stuff on purpose to see what the fallout might be and this could be that time.
Who knows -> maybe “Q”.
Here’s what you need to know about Q.
Wray was in a congressional hearing. He was asked if the FBI had paid Steele money in connection with the dirty dossier. A,’no,’ would have cleared Comey’s FBI. But he couldn’t say ‘no,’ because it has been reported that indeed Comey’s FBI paid Steele for the anti-Trump dossier.
A ‘yes,’ would have been truthful and very helpful to Trump. It would have further discredited the witch hunt.
But Wray refused to answer. He didn’t want to tarnish Comey’s FBI, nor did he want to assist Trump.
Immediately afterward Q posted, “Trust Wray.” They finally had their proof positive that Wray was going to side with the swamp-Deep State against Trump, so it was time to start trusting Wray.
Well, if the prophet Q linked to it, surely some sort of transcendent revelation will soon materialize to all the faithful.
Y'all let us heathen unbelievers know when the vision appears, okay?
Friend, you must be drinking some 100 proof, pure grain Kool-Aid to believe that.
You're basing your faith in Jeff Sessions on pure conjecture and the 'droppings' of an anonymous internet poster. To date, there is no objective evidence that Sessions is doing a single thing to end the Mueller witch hunt, or bring the bad actors in the deep state coup cabal to justice.
On the contrary, all objective evidence points to Sessions being a captive pawn of some dark political force.
