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.

Great news if true!

Bad rubbish.
The commies are going to go batsh*t crazy. Popcorn time.

Topics merged.

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 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.

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.

Once that story was confirmed Rod was toast. You can't have an AG working with your enemies.

Uh oh. This was the Deep States inside man. This is a big deal.

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

Ya Think???

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.

I dunno, @Bigun. We're missing something here.
-
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.

Now the news is saying Rod did not resign. WTF?

Damned straight.
He's probably at COSTCO right now stocking up for the coming siege of reporters surrounding his home... :patriot:

If FOX is breaking these stories/scenarios we know it's coming from Donald Trump, Jr. through Kimberly Guilfoyle. :laugh:

Maybe he is quitting before he can be fired.

Maybe he's going to be "laid off" so he can collect unemployment. :pondering:

Thanks for your kind mention. There is certainly a super wealth of information on our Vol I & Vol II threads:

Good plan. I wonder how much severance he's earned? :cool:
-
The only way Rosenstein will ever 'resign' is if he thinks he is going to prison. Which is where he belongs.
I do not think he will ever resign even if you caught him with a live boy or a dead hooker.
I don't think there is anything that could make him step aside. He is an Admiral of the Fleet in the 'resistance movement'.

So.... what was the motivation behind the fake news that he was resigning? One wonders....
-
You can always count on Adam Schitt for a memorable smear/quote. The Rosenstein situation is a "slow-moving Saturday night massacre." What a predictable clown.
At least the Kavanaugh smear isn't the lead today-so far. Since Trump is meeting with Rosenstein on Thursday, I expect the networks to turn back to Kavanaugh.

We're in Germany right now and CNN is the only English TV station we can get. Needless to say, they've been hashing and rehashing the same baseless speculation for the past several hours. Arggghh.

My guess is he's been asked to either leave or they will expose more dirt. They have more on him than just wearing a wire.

Sorry but I trust Fox more than CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times or Yahoo. Fox does have some yahoos on board but, on the whole, they are the most reliable news outlet.

Well ... according to Bloomberg the White House has accepted his resignation and he is going to meet with Trump on Thursday.
I'm not quite sure how this is going to play out. Lots happening on Thursday.

Absolutely. He's linked to Clinton and Uranium One.

Resigned...?
Fired...?
I don't care.
Get that guy outta there.
Whatever it takes.

Trump has been exceptionally weak when it comes to the DOJ and the corrupt FBI. There should be dozens of people terminated in both organizations. I am tired of hearing about the damn rank and file. The FBI and DOJ are corrupt, and Trump best get off his paralyzed butt and get rid of these bums.
With all the news that has surfaced in the last couple weeks, there has been a bloodless coup effort by these clowns, and all involved should be terminated, indicted, convicted and sentenced with the most severe sentences for their crimes.
And Mueller is a disgrace, and I believe also guilty of many crimes when he ran the FBI. Reminds me of the KGB in the USSR.
-

Then why in God's name is he still the Deputy AG? What incompetent boob is in charge of hiring and firing these guys?

I was flabbergasted when Trump appointed him; I have since read that he did so on the advice of his good ole boy pal Giuliani who is also now part of the Trump team. Giuliani is another one that can't be trusted.
Trump wanted to fire both Sessions and Rosenstein a long time ago and members of his own party threatened him...now most are on board and realize what is going on...the incompetent boobs are those RINO's in Congress who have done everything they can to derail this presidency and are now realizing that our POTUS has done some good and is taking this country in a more positive direction.

So Manafort fooled Trump into appointing Sessions, and Giuliani fooled Trump into appointing Rosenstein. Who fooled Trump into taking Guiliani as a personal lawyer after it became apparent his recommendation for Deputy AG was an enemy? Poor pitiful Trump. So easily fooled.
