Wall Street Journal: White House building case to fire RosensteinBY AVERY ANAPOL - 04/13/18 09:39 AM EDT
The White House is building a case to fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal that said allies are being told to attack Rosenstein on television.
The idea is to launch attacks on Rosenstein, the Justice official overseeing special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, in a way that avoid making it appear that Trump is meddling in the probe.
One person who spoke to the president this week told The Wall Street Journal that Rosensteins ouster is a matter of when, not if.

This isnt like a crooked precinct where the mobster talks to the bagman and the drugs disappear.
I would not be surprised if there are copies of documents and in safe locations, just in case.

(2,064 posts)That would be a more accurate, honest statement.
BTW, theres nothing they can do to hide Trumps hand in this.
There are already reports of him calling people and asking them to go on Faux Noise and say he should fire Mueller.

(10,022 posts)Example: Mueller and the FBI are investigating to uncover facts to see if there is a case to be built. Huge difference.

Donnie Deutsch said the same thing. He said he would take ANY bet on it.
Shit, hang on folks and hope the system holds. We're in uncharted waters.
