Rosenstein reportedly resigning!

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is reportedly resigning

 
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is resigning, according to Axios, which cited a source familiar with the matter.

"He's expecting to be fired," a source close to Rosenstein told Axios, the website reported Monday. He plans to step down, Axios reported.

Rosenstein's expected resignation will immediately raise questions about the fate of the ongoing investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller, who is probing Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, and possible obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump.

Indeed.  And enough to make the rats pucker up a bit, considering who might replace him... and who might end up investigating them re: their FISAgate activities.

This could take a little oxygen away from the Kavanaugh debacle. 

But, why is he resigning now?  Even if Trump had proof that Rosenstein was contemplating wearing a wire, Trump probably wouldn't have fired him, at least until after the midterms.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is resigning
by Kelly Cohen
 | September 24, 2018 10:43 AM



Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has verbally resigned to White House chief of staff John Kelly, according to reports.

A source told Axios that “He’s expecting to be fired” and thus plans to step down.

Rosenstein has been on the hot seat following a report that he discussed invoking the 25th Amendment and wearing a device to record meetings with President Trump.

Rosenstein, a Republican appointed by Trump, oversees special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

Whatever the reason this can't be good news for the 'rats.

Just before the election too.

@Sanguine

It has nothing to do with that. It has everything to do with the document declassification and the genius of the Mueller witch hunt.

Fox previously said he was resigning.  That's where I heard about it first.  Guess they changed story.

Yes a very big deal. Now maybe we'll get some docs from DOJ.

After Rosen-boy is gone, Sessions will no longer have any cover. He will have to resign next by his own hand. Since he so called 'recused' himself (which he did not ever have to do) Sessions cannot assume Rosenstein's job. He must resign. He has no choice. If all of this is real.

You should be reading @Quix

The threat of declassifying FISA documents brought RR to a Jesus moment, because declassification would expose that he lied to the president.

Mark Murray
@mmurraypolitics
.@PeteWilliamsNBC
 is reporting on @MSNBC
 that Rosenstein is heading to the WH. But that he *won't resign,* according to Williams' reporting.

Rosenstein will demand that if the WH wants him gone, they'll have to fire him.

Between Rosenstein, Comey, Strzock, and Page, it's going to be tougher for Mueller to make a credible argument that the firing of Comey was truly Obstruction of Justice.  It is starting to look more and more like the President correctly gauged that there was corruption in DOJ, and that the rot started at the top.

Also, anyone else beleive that Rosenstein was likely one of Woodward's primary sources?  Woodward's wild claim about the 25th Amendment would dovetail with the claim that Rosenstein was going to try to organize a 25th Amendment coup against Trump.  Obviously, Woodward embellished by claiming that the cabinet actually discussed it as opposed to Rosenstein just trying to put out feelers, but the potential linkage is definitely there.
