Top congressional Democrats told President Trump on Friday that using the new House Intelligence Committee memo as a pretext to fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and therefore halt the Russia investigation would spark a “constitutional crisis.”
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California said in a letter they are “alarmed” at reports that Trump may use the memo “as a pretext” to fire Rosenstein “in an effort to corruptly influence or impede” special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.
“We write to inform you that we would consider such an unwarranted act as an attempt to obstruct justice in the Russia investigation. Firing Rod Rosenstein, DOJ Leadership or Bob Mueller could result in a constitutional crisis of a kind not seen since the Saturday Night Massacre," they said.
Rosenstein is the only Department of Justice official who can remove Mueller, and he was expected to be named in the four-page classified memo made public Friday.

Regardless of party, Congress has no advise and consent role over firings in the Executive Branch. These morons think we’re a Parliamentary system. We’re not. Trump should not only fire Rosenstein but order an immediate investigation and prosecution.

Absolutely. What? Does Rosenstein’s s**T not stink? Yes, it does and he is complicit in the “The Memo” being handled as it was. Fire him, indict him and get rid of him.
Why are we waiting on this? Mr Trump?
That's an interesting question...
I don't think he will...
Within his investigation he must of tons of incriminating Clinton, various democrat / Russian collusion information...
Mueller just needs to start opening up these inquires and you will see every rat and traitor in the dem party looking for him to wrap this thing up...and fast...
The impeachment proceedings will begin the very second there is a democrat controlled house
The offensive maneuver is to attack and destroy the entire left wing machine including Schumer and Pelosi. It is already an existential battle
Attack, attack, attack.......
No mercy, no quarter
The Dems are not in charge. Screw them. Fire Rosenstein!
I'm just SURE there are memos in JimRobs files about targeting ME for investigation!
I shudda been 50 points ahead MANY times!!
