Rod Rosenstein Has Verbally Resigned To John Kelly

Via Zero Hedge

After Friday night’s blockbuster NYT report in which, according to Andrew McCabe’s personal files, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein offered to record President Trump (whether in jest or not) and proposed invoking Article 25, speculation has intensified that President Trump may fire Rosenstein imminently. And while many of Trump’s allies have urged caution, fearing a trap, moments ago Axios reported that Rosenstein has decided to preempt that step by verbally resigning to Chief of Staff John Kelly in anticipation of being fired by President Trump, according to a source with direct knowledge.

Per a source close to Rosenstein: “He’s expecting to be fired,” so he plans to step down.

Moments after the Axios headline hit the tape, CNN followed it up with a report that Rosenstein expects to be fired, and NBC reported that Rosenstein is on his way to the White House in the expectation that he will be fired.

The news sent the S&P and the Dow to fresh session lows.

However, it’s worth noting that this report should be taken with a grain of salt. After all, Trump told Geraldo Rivera in an interview set to air Monday that he wouldn’t fire Rosenstein until he had “all of the facts.”

Our country has gone to shit. We now have the liars lying to the liars. There is no sanity. This anti-Trump insanity has bled over into every aspect of our lives.

I’m here in Minnesota – the Center for Medicare Service (CMS) has decided (for some reason unknown to anyone) that there can no longer be Medicare Cost Plans. I really don’t know what that is, but my wife and I have them (and 300,000 people in Minnesota have them) , and now we all have to get another plan. What the Fuck is up? This just an example of the failed government – instead of getting things done – they fuck around with this Kavenaugh bullshit, and whether or not he grabbed someone tit when he was 17.

Now if we could revoke Rosenstein’s American citizenship and deport him to Israel, we might just get somewhere…

Now Trump now needs to have Sessions appoint another Special Counsel to dig into Comey, Rosenstein, et. al.. This needs to happen this week, before the month is over

Why would anyone believe anything from a New York Times report?
And then Axios and CNN,NBC confirm this bullshit?
