    Rod Rosenstein is resigning

    Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has verbally resigned to Chief of Staff John Kelly in anticipation of being fired by President Trump, according to a source with direct knowledge. Per a second source with direct knowledge: “He’s expecting to be fired,” so he plans to step down.

    Background: Rosenstein talked last year invoking the 25th Amendment and wearing a wire during Trump meetings, the N.Y. Times' Adam Goldman and Michael S. Schmidt reported last week. He denied both allegations.

    The Mueller investigation could be about to come to a head... depending on who his replacement is.

    Let him go. Trump needs to keep cleaning the swamp and replace them with those who put the US Constitution above a Communist political party.

    Except in that case it was being done to cover up wrong doing. In this case it is occurring because of talk of a possible coup by the Deputy Director of the FBI not to mention his questionable handling, direction, and supervision of the Mueller investigation, including credible concerns of direct conflicts of interest.

    Rosenstein has not resigned, as of the latest "who knows what to believe".

    Correct!

    Only LAGC would be stupid and partisan enough to make that comparison. But he knows how little I think of his uninformed opinion.....
