That was the plan all along. Stall until the midterms.
These swamp-rats all need to be brought to justice or we don’t have any justice anymore. That includes Rosenstein.
Trump could get rid of Rosenstein tomorrow morning by simply releasing the FISA docs. That alone would provide a basis for firing him. But he hasn’t. In point of fact, he passed the FISA docs off to Horowitz who has buried them. Its hard not to conclude that Trump seems to be OK with that.
I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to see Rosenstein hang around well after the elections. I get the sense that he’s holding some pretty good cards that have enabled him to keep his job despite a mountain of reasons to fire him.
