Rosenstein won't last the week. It's their only play.

Thanks, Olivia Pope.

Trump's gonna have a coronary by the end of the week

 

[Randolph Freelander]

He really can't. The special counsel law was past to avoid just that. Only the AG, and now assistant AG that Sessions recused himself, can fire a special counsel once named, and it has to be for cause. Trump would have to fire Rosenstein and get his replacement to do it.

That's not the same office as this one. The one you have linked is currently held by Carolyn Lerner.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

GUYS TRUMP IS FUCKED!

Mueller is no fucking joke!!!!!!

 

[plagiarize]

Rosenstein won't last the week. It's their only play.

They can't do anything to remove Mueller.

Because that would be 100% obstruction of justice. No question. No doubt. So no matter what else Trump would be guilty of... he would be done for that alone.

They literally can't touch him without costing themselves their own jobs.

 

[Htown]

Prediction about the pro-Trump spin:

They can't just say oh he's a liberal, because he was a Bush appointee. Guarantee we're going to see a lot of "the political establishment is trying to take Trump down because he's too much of an outsider" bullshit in the future.

God damn would I love to see what's unfolding in the White House right now.

Holy shit so that calling card pic from yesterday was real lol.

I love this

 

[BronsonLee]

I'm in Naples right now and a whole bunch of fireworks got let off so I was woken up early

The Bronson Snooze STRIKES AGAIN

 

[the_sun_king]

yeah rosenstein must've been royally pissed

Don't blame him. From the outside, it seemed plain that Trump and his administration used Rosenstein like a tool to try to justify that initial BS reasoning for Comey's firing.

 

[Trouble]

Rosenstein won't last the week. It's their only play.

Firing him accomplishes nothing at this point.

 

[Joe]

So far it really seems like Rosenstein just made a play to restore his credibility by taking the lead and making this decision while keeping Trump and Sessions in the dark.

 

[Fallout-NL]

Trump's gonna have a coronary by the end of the week

Wouldn't surprise me tbh.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

Democrats be like

 

[Zolo]

Rosenstein won't last the week. It's their only play.

I have to agree imo. I would think Trump & co. would take horrible optics (that only affect their supporters) over inevitably bad situations down the line from this. It wouldn't mean anything if they were innocent, but they're not.

 

[_woLf]

GET FUCKED, DONNY BOY

 

[Hours Left]

Incredible.

 

[vatstep]

"IT'S ROBERT MUELLER!"

 

[RDreamer]

Holy shit. Rosenstein must have been pissed at them throwing him under the bus.

 

[Kusagari]

If they fire Rosenstein they're basically admitting 100% they're guilty.

Even the GOP would have to jump ship at it being so blatant.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

YEEEEES

well, I'm getting a drink. Good luck, Mueller.

 

[Feep]

We all know Trump is freaking the FUCK OUT and I could not possibly be happier.

 

[Trouble]

 

[Durden77]

If we pull through this, everyone, be with your country. Don't you ever fucking doubt your country again. We will need true patriots to move forward.

Rosenstein won't last the week. It's their only play.

There's no play.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Over under on the person who appointed Mueller getting fired?

 

[RoKKeR]

This pleases me greatly.

We're past the point of 100% obstruction of justice. What's one more log on the fire?

 

[Dead Prince]

All of this during my birthday week.

 

[BossDarkseid]

lol revenge is a dish best served comey

bravo

 

[Mahonay]

Finally some good news it seems?

Shit's about to heat up in a significant way.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

Tune in to CNN later guys, please watch Lord. Please.

 

[tbm24]

If they fire Rosenstein they're basically admitting 100% they're guilty.

Even the GOP would have to jump ship at it being so blatant.

Wouldn't the Senate have to vote in his replacement if Trump did that? He's fucked either way.

Ryan: He basically...He has this really interesting riff about... people have said that they have
Ukraine
fatigue, and it’s really Russian fatigue because what Russia is doing is doing to us,
financing our populists, financing people in our governments to undo our governments, you
know, messing with our oil and gas energy, all the things Russia does to basical
ly blow up our
country, they’re just going to roll right through us and go to
the Baltics and everyone else.

Wow.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Damn, Rosenstein putting in work.

It looks like the wheels are finally turning.

 

[chuckddd]

Batten down the hatches! I sense a severe tweet storm in our future.

FUCK. YES. Life Will Change is a goddamn anthem for justice.

It's not a game
I'm not a robot AI challenging you
I'm not a phantom
I'm in your face and
I'm here to see it through

Right before your eyes
Watch us multiply
Come to claim our rights - it's time

As our power grows
Tryin' to stop us shows
(You) Might as well go try'n stop time

So you know that we're out there
Swatting lies in the making
Can't move fast without breaking
Can't hold on or life won't change

And our voices ring out, yeah
Took the mask off to feel free
Fought it out in the debris
Now we know that life will change

Ain't it a shame
I'm not a figment of your ailing old mind
I'm just as real as
I'm just as dangerous
As you, so know you'll find

A taste of your own meds
Fire in every breath
Fire inside your head, your heart

And as your crippled brain
Tries to fight in vain
Your empire will fall apart

And you'll know we were out there
Swatted lies in the making
Your empire for the taking
Can't hold on or life won't change

And our voices rang out, here
Took the mask off to feel free
Fought it out in the debris
Now we know that life will change
