We'd better hope that he's fired, so 45 can't appoint his successor. If Rosenstein resigns, the administration can appoint whoever they want to the position.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Lots of reports that he resigned, but I hope not.

Shrift when you are done with the hulksuit can I borrow it please.
Not sure if I'll ever be done with it at this rate, but perhaps we can work out a timeshare, or just go full Tony Stark and build a hulksuit for every occasion.

The breaking news is all over the place - Rosenstein is about to resign, Rosenstein is about to be fired, Rosenstein has already resigned, Rosenstein will not resign.
The current report is that none of that happened, and Rosenstein still has his job.
It certainly sounds like Trump tried to force him to resign, but Rosenstein called his bluff.

I hope so. The yellow/orange bellied one would certainly do this while he was out of town. Also, they are pretty desperate to take attention away from Kavanaugh.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Apparently there's a big legal distinction between Rosenstein being fired or resigning.
If he resigns then Trump can put anybody he wants into the position.
If he's fired that sets off a much bigger process.
So as long as Rosenstein can hold out...
Fucking hell. This feels like an all out coup attempt by the Republicans at this point, before the election.

CNN says he and Trump will meet Thursday.

Or what I said just a bit upthread, David.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It certainly sounds like Trump tried to force him to resign, but Rosenstein called his bluff.
I certainly hope so. Fuck that guy, man.

That's what I get for skipping ahead!
