Make it so.

Hope Trump does this. He wouldn’t be firing him so the nuts couldn’t scream about that.

[be-baw]

Makes a lot of sense. But, if he did, to whom would Mueller report?

[faithhopecharity]

easier to just tell Sessions to fire Rosie and the Mueller gang

[ameribbean expat]

Agreed.

None of Mr. Rosenstein’s proposals apparently came to fruition. It is not clear how determined he was about seeing them through, though he did tell Mr. McCabe that he might be able to persuade Attorney General Jeff Sessions and John F. Kelly, then the secretary of homeland security and now the White House chief of staff, to mount an effort to invoke the 25th Amendment.

This is from the NYT article. It raised a big red flag for me and I wonder why no one else is talking about this. IF it is true, what would make Rosenstein think Sessions and Kelly would be persuadable? Or is it just a way to sow discord in the administration?

I can’t find anything on the net about Jeff Sessions reaction to the nyt Rosenstein article. Is he hiding in a bunker somewhere?

[elpadre]

If the RR statements against the President can be independently verified, is it possible to go to court and have a judge order Mueller to cease and desist, to stop the investigation and reverse all action that has taken place?? This is an honest question as I have no knowledge of the law in these particular matters.

[NutsOnYew]

My problem is that it was a NYT article quoting/paraphrasing un-named sources. Not exactly a reputable news source. Rosenstein probably did talk about taping. But, I'm waiting for someone who actually heard it to stand up and say it happened. Until then, it is just fake news from the NYT aimed at causing chaos and hoping the President over-reacts.

[RegulatorCountry]

He should have recused himself in the first place, since he recommending in writing that Trump fire Comey, which precipitated the whole thing. Does Rosenstein believe himself to have given Trump a bad recommendation then? Or, did Rosenstein give him that recommendation with the express intention of triggering an investigation? Either way, Rosenstein should not now be involved.
