While I understand the alarm, this would actually benefit Dems because it would gin up turnout in six weeks. Then in January they can rehire Mueller if he has been fired.

Prediction: Mueller investigation continues abated, regardless of what happens to Rosenstein.

Republicans have shown, and continue to show, that their political imperatives trump (no pun intended) any obligations they may feel to the country and its laws. The public became OK with it when they elected those representatives.

Well, they got tax cuts and conservative SC justices...

Totally worth it!

The DAG is part of the DOJ which is in the Executive Branch and appointed by the President, who will still be in office after the elections. Also, I think you meant "unabated."

Yes, but, presuming the House goes blue, Dems can appoint their own special counsel to investigate.

And yes, I meant unabated.

reading between the lines (and this is pure speculation)

WH leaks story of wiretapping and 25th amendment push
WH leaks story of him resigning
both designed to get him to resign
he calls Trump's bluff and he isn't fired

I initially thought that, but abated means slowed, diminished whereas unabated means full steam ahead (definitions use terms related to strength & intensity). So I think he was saying what he meant.

Trump’s trade policies also are making it difficult for big business groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Manufacturers and the National Retail Federation that generally support pro-business Republicans. The Chamber, for example, is still spending money on ads supportive of GOP candidates like Rossi in Washington state, while strongly opposing Trump’s trade policy and issuing charts listing the states most heavily impacted by retaliatory tariffs on American exports.

The Chamber’s latest list of states impacted the most include Alabama, Michigan, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Wisconsin

Rosenstein should call in sick Thursday.

gee, same day as the Ford testimony

So we have literally gone from Rosenstein will resign to the WH has accepted his resignation to he's been fired to he and the President will discuss in 3 days in like 90 minutes. And everyone will "stand by their story".

by **CFP** » Mon Sep 24, 2018 13:13:40

So he's staying. For now. It appears.

by **The Crimson Cyclone** » Mon Sep 24, 2018 13:18:25

during the chaos, Guiliani and Sekulow both state that if Rosenstein were removed that the Mueller probe should be put in a time out for review

lol

Breaking news=news not likely to be accurate.

The media do seem to enjoy being played for chumps.

24 hour news cycles, twitter, and the like are really not helpful.

Of course, this is different from the "fake news" charges our President uses to denigrate the media. But the swirl of confusion certainly isn't helping matters.

Because of the voodoo magic involved in the person 45 chose being the one to pull the plug, not 45 himself.

Just had a coworker ranting that Sessions never should've recused himself, "meeting with Russians was part of his job", and that Rosenstein should be the one recusing himself, "he interviewed Mueller for Comey's job, then appointed him special counsel the very next day!"

I'm too tired for this bullshit.

You can't cure crazy**, only hope to contain it.

** Actually, according to a truck I saw cruising the roads of DC proper, its fluoride that the government designed for mind control. Seriously, saw it merging into traffic on 395 at rush hour Friday heading toward Nats park.
