This is all coming about after a story was published in the NY Times about Rosenstein. 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.
The President is not at the White House.
According to reports in April, Attorney General Jeff Sessions would consider resigning if Rod Rosenstein is fired. he reportedly made the comments to White House counsel Don McGahn.
Mr. Rosenstein will hammer President Trump once he’s out and since he’s in charge of Robert Mueller, that situation will become even more chaotic.
Be prepared for the leftists to take to the streets.
