“Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.”

President Trump says his relationship with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is “fantastic” and “great,” leading the Wall Street Journal to suggest that the number two official at the Justice Department may have more “staying power” than suspected.
Rumors have swirled for months that Rosenstein would be fired by Trump. In fact, back in April, the Washington Post reported that Attorney General Jeff Sessions told the White House he would consider quitting if the president fired his deputy.
However, according to a Wednesday WSJ article, when a Trump spokesman told the president the newspaper was looking for comment on his relationship with Rosenstein, he replied, “It’s fantastic…We have a great relationship. Make sure you tell them that.”
The news comes just days after conservative House Republicans filed articles of impeachment against Rosenstein, who was charged with “high crimes and misdemeanors” for withholding vital information relating to Carter Page from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC). House Republicans, like Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), say they have been stonewalled by the Department of Justice under Rosenstein’s leadership.

Go Along to Get Along or We’ll Cook Up BS Charges and Incarcerate You and All Your Friends
I'm sensing a little something more to Trump's statement below the surface.
Betcha he had his fingers crossed behind his back when he said that ;>)
That’s just Trump talk. Everyone’s great. And then he kicks them in the balls and smashes their face on his knee.
Trump will not fire Rosenstein. After the election Trump will fire Sessions, appoint an acting DOJ and that person will fire him.
LOL
“Trump says his relationship with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is “fantastic” and “great” “
If I were Rosenschmeckel, I’d not be measuring for new drapes in my office! I worked for a company years ago where the CEO had a habit in meeting of going “heh, heh, heh” when he heard something he didn’t like. The subject of the “heh, heh, hen” knew was living on borrowed time.
LOL, aye aye chaplain.
Being around one minute is too long for Rosenstain.
Ouch.
Youre right! Dirst comes the denials of problems, then saying they get along great, then they announce they are leaving.
“I’m sensing a little something more to Trump’s statement below the surface.”
Me too. I can see “you are fired” right around the corner. Hahahaha
PDJT may hate Jeff Sessions more than I do...If that’s possible.
“Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.”
He’s just saying that because that deep-state compromised backstabbing rat bastard, jeff sessions, so completely farked him and boxed him in...
It’s time to go full pinochet and start disappearing people. Round them up in the dead of night and put them at gitmo.
POTUS is very obviously saying this for a reason.
I don’t know what the reason is, but I do know it is an excellent reason.
Rosenstein has political cover as long as Mueller is “investigating.” Once that’s done, he’s gone. That’s the real reason Rudy is trying to work a deal for Trump to sit with Mueller. So the damn thing can get done and Rosy gets his walking papers.
Of course. Trump doesn’t have it in him to fire the SOB. Trump deserves whatever nonsense results from that decision, including removal from office.
