    Trump told associates he no longer needs to fire either man
    Deputy attorney general volunteered assurance last week

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein told President Donald Trump last week that he isn’t a target of any part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Rosenstein, who brought up the Mueller probe himself, offered the assurance during a meeting with Trump at the White House last Thursday, a development that helped tamp down the president’s desire to remove Rosenstein or Mueller, the people said.

After the meeting, Trump told some of his closest advisers that it’s not the right time to remove either man since he’s not a target of the probe. One person said Trump doesn’t want to take any action that would drag out the investigation.

Yeah - wait until you’re the target before you fire them.  That’ll work out aces.

Levin made the point tonight that the DOJ under both Bush and Clinton had concluded that a sitting president cannot be indicted.  So, what the Rochester is Mueller trying to do?

As Hannity told Levin tonite, they're trying to pave the way for Trump's impeachment.

But we knew that.

The same thing that happened under Starr.  You charge people you find have committed crimes in the investigation, submit a report to Congress, and let them decide if there is enough for indictment (impeachment) and conviction (removal) through constitutional means.
