Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is reportedly on his way to the White House after Jeff Sessions was asked to resign Wednesday. Rosenstein currently oversees special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into potential Russian collusion and interference in the 2016 presidential election. President Trump tweeted Wednesday that Sessions’ chief of staff Matthew Whitaker, a prominent Mueller critic, would be named acting attorney general.

Many of Trump’s high profile supporters (Hannity, DiGenova, Tom Fitton, etcc.) have been pleading with him to release the FISA documents. Let’s get on with it. If not now, then when?

There was a woman in line but she took a $700,000 a year job. Probably read the tea leaves and decided to cash out. I would do the same if it were me.

I gotta think nobody really wants to touch the Mueller probe (ew does that sound as gross reading it as it did writing it?)

It's often a good idea to save your bullets for when the shooting actually starts.

Rod is now in charge of the pencil sharpeners.

I wouldn’t trust him with sharp objects.

Are they serving him with a FISA warrant?

they would be complete morons to try to impeach..

Of course they would be and they're about to prove they are.

They're going to try impeaching PDJT early-on knowing they'll fail so they can tell their "base" that they tried two years from now, hoping the anger has subsided.

It's all about playing to their base.

There has been a spike in wire fraud and general dishonesty at the Antactic research station. We need a “top” man for the assignment?

“Today Trump settles all Family Business.”

I agree, Trumps had 2 years to get his hands around thing. Now he has has the deal and it’s his game. He has much more on them and it’s real. His first hand will be to declassify. Work from there, no need to involve congress if laws were broken- straight to grand jury.

This all falls apart without a real AG.

He’s a security risk, leaker and coup member. spend whatever capital you have to and fire Rosenstein and revoke his security clearance.

Yuge difference.

“Sessions was NOT fired. He agreed to RESIGN.”

That’s a distinction without a difference. Barely even better optics to it.

Sessions was TOLD “Resign”; no other options were offered.
The implications inherent in that directive amount to “You’re fired.”

“Wasn’t/isn’t there a woman next in line after RR?”

Doesn’t matter. President Trump is making recess appointments. He can pick anyone he wants to run the show.
