I read somewhere that declassification of the FISA warrants would lead to rod’s departure. Either voluntary or forced...

Good prediction- whoever made it.

Hopefully the Whitehouse and Kelly have learned to check for recording devices.

What is known about Francisco? Is he friendly or part of the deep state?

As soon as he leaves the DOJ, lock his doors, get a new lock installed asap. Take everything out of his office with a big evidence tag on it. If he parks in the basement, boot the car.

"Rosenstein has been “Headed to the White House” for quite a while according to Fox News." Maybe he's riding on David Hogg's bicycle.

Riding tandem Blowsey-Ford.

She is the the true foe of the Deep State (DOJ / FBI, Just-Us Department). She fought them in the Bush administration and the Obama administration.

It’s been more than half an hour now and Rosenstein still hasn’t arrived at the WH.

He was told to bring Muleass with him and he cannot find him.

Trump is being played. He should not fire anyone. He will never get another appointment. So if he thinks there will be a replacement that he likes, he is crazy.

I wonder whether the WH will accept the resignation?

For example, they could yank his clearance. Certainly enough evidence to support that.

They could also inform him they want him at his desk when they declassify.

What might follow from that is he’s taken from his desk in cuffs, much like they did traders on Wall Street in the 80s for insider trading.

It would take all the wind out of the sails of the ‘red line’ crowd.

Beltway traffic is brutal this time of day so he probably is walking. Very very slowly. Could take days.

Maybe so, but as far as being epically played, there is Grassley.

Is that fact or humor?

I’m sure everything important already has been squirreled away in his boots, undies, or whatever, and out of his office. They’re safely locked up in his home somewhere.

I was hoping it might be fact.

And for a long time Fox said he was “Headed to the White House”. Now that’s changed to “En Route to the White House”. It’s really getting to be pretty comical.

"It’s been more than half an hour now and Rosenstein still hasn’t arrived at the WH. Maybe he’s hitchhiking and no one will give him a ride."

He needs to finish deleting all his emails and files.

That thought has occurred to me, also. But who knows if he'll really be fired today.
