If Trump wanted him gone, he’d be gone.
If Trump wanted him gone, hed be gone.
The House gets their base fired up for the mid-terms.
The Democrats can’t yell “Obstruction!” at President Trump.
and therein lies the rub.
It’s a little delicate now, Trump can’t just fire RR, cuz Muler will charge him with obstructing justice (supported by a screaming Big Media mob).
Better this way that Congress does it, Trump keeps his hands clean.
(* BTW, it does help to explain why Schiff was so apoplectic about Nunes seeing the intelligence reports ... mmm mmm mmm)
I’m sure Trump is getting enormous pressure from congressional Pubs and others not to fire Rosenstein or Mueller. But if he’s impeached that would give him cover to fire him.
Yeah, and if Trump had made him gone they would have impeached Trump.
Nope. It was politically unwise. If the cite for contempt or impeach that gives potus the opening he needs to replace Rosenstein
Yes and no. Yes, Trump wants him gone and no he
won’t fire Rosenstein for the same reason he won’t fire
Mueller and end this nothingburger for good. There will
be massive blowback, it will feed the cause of the Demo
Congressional campaign, and it will preclude him from
going after the criminals who instigated this farce.
Yeah, but it’s far better to do it the smart way...
Funny how complex issues seem so simple to some...then they base their world view on their expectations of the sheer simplicity of what their minds have come up with.
