Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s actions, as recounted by the New York Times Friday, are the equivalent of an attempted coup -- a plot to overthrow the president.
As the Times reveals, Rosenstein was furious that Democrats blamed him for the firing of FBI Director James Comey.
Rosenstein, who had volunteered to write the firing memorandum, was “regretful and emotional.” His behavior was described as “erratic.”
He blamed Trump.
So, in an apparent act of vengeance, he proposed secretly recording the president to try to gain damaging information about him.
He solicited others to wear wires, including Andrew McCabe, who was later fired as Assistant FBI Director. Rosenstein is said to have discussed recruiting cabinet members to depose Trump under the 25th Amendment.
All of this is reportedly evidenced in memos, including those written by McCabe.
Friday afternoon, in response to the Times story, Michael R. Bromwich, Andrew McCabe’s attorney issued this statement for the record:
"Andrew McCabe drafted memos to memorialize significant discussions he had with high level officials and preserved them so he would have an accurate, contemporaneous record of those discussions. When he was interviewed by the Special Counsel more than a year ago, he gave all of his memos -- classified and unclassified -- to the Special Counsel's office. A set of those memos remained at the FBI at the time of his departure in late January 2018. He has no knowledge of how any member of the media obtained those memos."
Rosenstein strongly denied that the facts recounted by the Times.

Gregg Jarrett is absolutely right in my view.
We need an FIB investigation of RosenWeasel’s RICO Sedition Conspiracy before we decide......
Who writes this stuff?
I think I would decline NYT advice and info until I examine the evidence myself. They lie far too often.
Anyone remember the reason, Attorney General Sessions gave for ‘hiring’ Rod? Location, location, location...
I’d like Trump to keep them in suspense
Trump has been handed on a silver platter an excuse to fire Rosen-weasel, by the failing NY Slimes. Do not waste this opportunity. Although I would have no problem if the POTUS waits until mid-term election is out of the way.
NYT is a dubious source. Can’t stand The Weasel, but NYT is worse, and liars.
I hope Trump has a few burly marines around him at all times.
Let RosenWeasel twist slowly in the wind for a while....
So Mueller and his Hillbots have had this for well over a year.
I agree, these turkeys in this cabal are serious.
“I think I would decline NYT advice and info until I examine the evidence myself. They lie far too often.”
That is why I do not think that there will be a kneejerk reaction by the President. There is a reason that the NYT let this story out at this time.
But the Elf is in love with RosenWeasel.
Trust QQQQ.
Of course we all believe the Slimes because it would never lie about this to cause trouble for Trump right?
Not sure you have the story right.
“(Rosenstein) was one of the 46 United States Attorneys ordered on March 10, 2017, to resign by Attorney General Jeff Sessions; Trump declined his resignation.”
Yep, if the NY Times is attacking Rosenstein he must be doing something right.
Love Jarrett, but Mark Levin is 100% right on this.
Where is that pup Sessions
