President Donald Trump is considering firing Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, multiple people familiar with the discussions tell CNN.
Such an action could potentially further Trump's goal of trying to put greater limits on special counsel Robert Mueller.
Trump has long been angry at top Justice Department officials, who he feels have not done enough to protect him from Mueller's ongoing probe.
Some of Trump's legal advisers are telling him they now have a stronger case against Rosenstein. They believe Rosenstein crossed the line in what he can and cannot pursue. And they consider him conflicted since he is a potential witness in the special counsel's investigation because he wrote the memo that justified firing former FBI Director James Comey.
The legal advisers also believe they have successfully argued to the American public that the FBI is tainted and think they can make the same case against Rosenstein. A senior administration official said the White House has been discussing potential options with key congressional Republican leaders, fearful of "blindsiding them." A person familiar with the conversations says a top congressional Republican advised the White House not to fire Rosenstein.

“I was just listening to Beck. He and his crew make a great case for “letting it play out”. “
Beck is a fargin KOOK and hillary voter. Anyone that urges this to ‘play out’ should be dismissed out of hand. They’re fargin MORONS
Trump has the authority to order this done. If Rosenweasel and Sleepy Jeffrey continue to stonewall, Trump has all the reason he needs to FIRE THEM IMMEDIATELY.
TRUMP, DID YOU SEE THIS COMMENT?!!!!!!
“Perhaps Trump is offering Dershowitz the job of AG. I hope he is. It would be a masterstroke the left would never recover from.”
I LIKE IT
Complete and utter garbage

Sometimes the EXTRATERRESTRIALS have to make a few attempts before their SHAPE-SHIFTING into humans is successful.

Heh. That would be fun - but I doubt it. Sometimes a dinner is just a dinner.
Haha. Nice sourcing, CNN.
Fire the Gaylord. There is no reason not to. It can't even be spun to claim obstruction since Mueller is in place. Once Rosenstein is gone, Sessions has a free hand to appoint a good guy in his place. If in fact Sessions is a white hat, which I think he is. Though I'm not 188% convinced at this point.
Yes, do it. Might as well watch the liberals have their heads explode even more. They’re already foaming-at-the-mouth cuckoo.
Be careful around them.....
Rosenstein deserved firing a year ago.
He set out the mission all wrong.
Targeted Trump, when it was clearly the democrats that should be investigated for conspiring with Russia (dossier); graft (Uranium One); and pay-to-play Bribes to Clinton foundation.
So, yes fire Rosenstein and recharter the new and improved special counsel.
LOL
The RATs have given us a blueprint on how to treat the next RAT president. What goes around comes around!!!
The Deplorables must NEVER EVER forget how these slithering Liberals have treated President Trump. As much as we loathed Jimmah Carter, BJ Clintoon, and their Muslim God, we never treated any of them the way these slithering vermin have acted since November 2016.
Is this discussed anywhere else? I hate to have to rely on CNN.
Yep CNN faker news. I will wait till I see a news organisation comes out with this, before I make judgement.
Fire Sessions first.
“Perhaps Trump is offering Dershowitz the job of AG”
Bad idea.
When it comes to the current issue, A.D. is on our side. Generally is is NOT. He is a rabid liberal and takes every opportunity possible to stress that he voted for Hillary.
And if he were AG, what would happen when the SHTF re Lolita Express, Pedo Island, etc.? If Alan were AG, there’d better be a kick-ass #2 in place for succession planning to step in.
Conservatives are too "nice" to do that.
My opinion:
Trump is waiting to see how the House goes in November...If republicans keep the House, I believe then he’ll start firing the SOB’s...
That’s why we’re where we are now! Nice guys come in last. Ask our military how it goes when you play nice!
