Attorney General Jeff Sessions recently told the White House he might have to leave his job if President Trump fired his deputy, Rod J. Rosenstein, who oversees the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to people familiar with the exchange.
Sessions made his position known in a phone call to White House counsel Donald McGahn last weekend, as Trumps fury at Rosenstein peaked after the deputy attorney general approved the FBIs raid April 9 on the presidents personal attorney Michael Cohen.

Yup and Sessions counted on Trump’s character and loyalty to appoint Sessions to the job he wanted. Trump was completely fooled by this skunk as were most of us.

WP is the source. This is just another Dem manufactured issue, i.e., Trump is going to fire Mueller and Rosenstein. The objective is to create a phony crisis and split Reps.
Lets focus on NK. And Trump is winning when it comes to cleaning out the swamp. The McCabe criminal referral is the first big domino to fall.

I am not sure why we even post Washington post deep state propaganda. I refuse to even click on any links to that site anymore. They are the worst of the worst.
They are also the ones that sued FR years ago.

About how long, then, until Trump issues his traditional mocking tweet, calling WaPo out for another fake news story and correcting the record?

Sounds like a win/win!
But now that Rudy is on the scene, I hope we can see whether he really can work with Mueller to wind this thing down first. Still need a new AG and Deputy AG, for sure, but if it happens before the Mueller probe is officially disbanded then it will give ‘Rat and MSM talking points the chance to claim that “Muh Russia” is being ignored, shut down.
Of course the frauds will say that no matter what, but at least try to wrap up Mueller, if possible, before trying to get the Senate to confirm new AG and Deputy AG appointees.

Why would you need to call? Trump has made an artform out of ridiculing WaPo for fake news. If this is really fake news [it isn’t] why could you not at least be able to offer a ballpark timeframe for Trump’s correction?

Sessions long-time friend, Levin, tells Session to resignTrue but Levin also said he shouldn't be fired. Just that he should resign.
