Memos written by Andrew McCabe, then the acting FBI director, say deputy attorney general Rod J. Rosenstein suggested he secretly record his talks with President Trump, and that Rosenstein discussed possibly trying to remove him from office, according to people familiar with the matter.
The account, first reported by the New York Times, paints Rosenstein as so concerned in May 2017 in the wake of Trump’s firing of then-FBI director James B. Comey that he contemplated secretly recording conversations with the president. He also initiated discussions about invoking the 25th amendment, which details how the Cabinet can decide whether a president is no longer able to discharge the duties of the job, one of the McCabe memos said.
McCabe’s lawyer, Michael Bromwich, said in a statement that his client “drafted memos to memorialize significant discussions he had with high level officials and preserved them so he would have an accurate, contemporaneous record of those discussions. When he was interviewed by the special counsel more than a year ago, he gave all of his memos — classified and unclassified — to the special counsel’s office. A set of those memos remained at the FBI at the time of his departure in late January 2018. He has no knowledge of how any member of the media obtained those memos.

NYT and Compost pushing this story hard.
What other proof do you need that it is fake news?
You mean like Omarosa was?
lol...yup.
every day I thank God that I am alive to witness this
So...
McCabe writes a memo fingering Rosenstein;
McCabe, Mueller, and the FBI have copies.
The press gets a copy;
McCabe says he didn’t provide it.
Who did the dirty deed on RR? Mueller or FBI?
You can’t make this stuff up!
Fired
Countdown before Sessions races to the nearest live mike, and tells the country how valuable and honest Rosenstein is.
After that, back to his power nap!
They want him to redact at all costs. They are sending a message that he’s going down too if he doesn’t cover up for them.
I don’t believe any of this for a second. This isn’t how the 25th amendment works. They need 2/3 of the congress AND senate, otherwise, the president resumes his duties. It is harder to accomplish than impeachment (and removal)
“Countdown before Sessions races to the nearest live mike, and tells the country how valuable and honest Rosenstein is.”
Place your bets...Sessions is the rat bastard that put Rosenstein into play.
All those that have said “Trust Sessions” over the past year are complete and utter farking morons.
I never took sides on who to believe but what makes you think Rosenstein is more truthful? Rosenstein should submit his resignation for the good of the country, as he will never be able to gain the confidence of President Trump.
It does not matter. The President must fire Rosenstein and anyone else in the supposed meeting. The people elected Donald Trump president, not Rod Rosenstein and company.
Omarosa recorded the president (and is getting away with it) but we’re supposed to believe that Rosenstein did not? Who wasn’t recording him?
This country is falling apart as we speak.
It could be be it could be not. But It’s a story out there now though, so that’s why it’s posted.
Rod Rosenstein was Trump’s worst appointment. Who recommended him?
“This country is falling apart as we speak.”
We did not survive the O’muslim usurpation...8 years of marxists maoists and muslims in control of the executive branch.
Uhhhh, Sessions chose him as his DAG. At the urging of the deep-state who Sessions was/is conspiring with...
