Breaking news: Rod Rosenstein is resigning!

Postby Rip Van Winkle on Mon Sep 24, 2018 9:02 am

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has verbally resigned to Chief of Staff John Kelly in anticipation of being fired by President Trump, according to a source with direct knowledge. Per a second source with direct knowledge: “He’s expecting to be fired,” so he plans to step down.

Background: Rosenstein talked last year about invoking the 25th Amendment and wearing a wire during Trump meetings, the N.Y. Times' Adam Goldman and Michael S. Schmidt reported last week. He denied both allegations.

Disputing reports right now that say he’ll force Trump to fire him. If he quits, under the Vacancy Act, Trump can name his replacement. If he’s fired, his replacement must be confirmed. Still, if he’s fired the current solicitor general, Francisco is a solid conservative. So, either way it’s a win for We the People. If he forces a firing, it’s just another way the filthy left resists.
He should actually be arrested for sedition, indicted, prosecuted and literally executed if found guilty.

His willingness to conspire with others to wear a wire in an effort to record the president in an effort to have him declared crazy and removed from office is literally the definition of sedition. It’s a naked coup attempt to overthrow a democratically elected president.

I’m thinking your elitistism and high mindedness, in that you think you’ve transcended petty partisanship is destroying America. In reality, you’re giving cover to exactly the kind of bonafide domestic enemies our Founders warned us about. Next you’ll say the democrats aren’t coming for our guns. Smh.

There are only 2 things wrong with Randygmn's posts, the style and the content. Too bad the ignore function is neutered by the quote function.

Who are the Siths?

How can you possibly defend the position Rosenstein took. Unless your still bitter about Monica's Boyfriend's Wife last the election.

Ate peoe that blinded by partisanship that they are missing the prosperity and success that is all around you? You refuse to acknowledge it because it makes you wrong. NARCISSISM

If it is proven true that this guy actually did this, not sure which president executed someone on White House lawn for treason but I think it’s time to do it again, if proven this actually happened.

I agree yukonjasper needs to go down, anyone who has lived this long without being able to pick up on a basic star-wars reference is clearly a lizard person.

An update from Axios:
Note for readers: I regret the way I wrote this morning's version of the story. By saying Rosenstein had “verbally resigned” to Kelly rather than “offered his resignation,” I conveyed a certainty that this fluid situation didn’t deserve. It’s an important nuance, and I regret the wording.
