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: Hes expecting to be fired, so plans to step down.
Background: Rosenstein talked last year 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.


My reaction, as always: which one is he again?

I'm saying that in the broad scope of the Trump cinematic universe, I always have trouble remembering who he is or why he's important.

Why would he resign before being fired? Why give Trump the ability to say he wasn't going to fire him?

There has to be more to this if it's true.

I think this is a good move for Rosenstein. He will be remembered fondly for being the one to have balls, and at this point he cant do anything to get in team Trumps good graces. Anyway, Trump is going down and this will be well documented in history as the shitshow it is.

NBC's Pete Williams, gold standard in #DOJ reporting, says #Rosenstein en route to White House, won't resign and will force them to fire him. As I am told, Vacancies Act only kicks in if he resigns.

If Trump fires him, hell need senate approval to replace him. If he resigns, Trump can put whoever he wants without approval.

This is about to go completely mad

If/when he fires Rosenstein (note hes hiding in New York and having someone else do it, like a coward), its gotta be go-time for Mueller. Feels like were in the endgame.

Yeah, how else can this go? I really wonder what's gonna happen with Mueller. From much gym time viewing of Fox News, it seems like right wing media has been working hard to discredit him. That might keep viewers and their representatives from reacting to the obvious constitutional crisis.

We show every symptom of crumbling democracy the obsession with loyalty, the shaming/removal of detractors, discrediting the media, etc. We are so dangerously close.

This is my fear as well. But my main hopes are that the Kavanaugh nomination going down in flames will take away the support he gets from the "we just want a SC Justice" crowd in the GOP. And there's also the hope that all the crises happening so close to an election will further galvanize the blue wave.

The quick rundown for those who may not know what this means,

President Trump can't directly fire Robert Mueller whose the leader of the special counsel who is investigating Trumps campaigns teams ties to Russia. He is also now directly investigating and could bring charges of obstruction of justice against Trump himself.

Only the Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein can get rid of Mueller.

Trump is allowed to appoint a new Attorney General if Rosenstein is fired or resigns. Trump would be able to install somebody who promises to fire Mueller for him ending the investigation.

Yup just reading that the WH is saying he will resign to force him to.

Rosenstein has stated he will not resign and will have to be fired.
