I’m pretty sure that is NOT the way he feels.
In the current climate, sure. In any normal administration: being caught talking about secretly recording the president and whether or not he’s mentally fit for office would be way more than enough to warrant a hasty exit. In this administration, it’s an act of patriotism.
Okay, that’s what I thought. I sort of see that (But not really.) Anyway, the current loose-lipped climate trumps that <as it were>, doesn’t it?? To thump maybe it’s an act of patriotism, but to us normal people, it leaves Mueller exposed, and that’s worse than any hypothetical disloyalty to this joke of a president.
I hope he forces Trump to fire him… and forces Trump to do it himself for a change.
Wait, wait, Rosenstein’s denials have been proven to be lies? The NYT story is demonstrably true?
Maybe it’s so, but I haven’t read or heard anything to that effect. Clarify?
Yeah, I’d like to see that, too. The NYT story seems extremely implausible to me.
Kavanaugh’s Yale freshman roommate said he was a belligerent drunk and he believes that Kavanaugh was capable of what Debbie Ramirez is claiming.

Wrong thread.
No, there’s nothing you haven’t read or heard. I was answering the question “why would Rosenstein feel compelled to resign?” with how I feel a normal official in a normal administration would act in a similar situation: implicated in serious allegations whether true or not, and having lost the confidence of one’s boss, one would have no choice but to resign.
Oops. Yep.
Matthew Whitaker, the man who would replace Rosenstein, is a Trump loyalist.
There’s a sure way to set oneself up- attempting loyalty to Trump, a man who knows no loyalty.
Matt Whitaker and Noel Francisco could shut down the Mueller investigation – and all other investigations related to Trump.
And with a loaded Supreme Court, federal pardon power could essentially preempt state-level prosecution.
We’re getting closer to the tipping point, the point at which the rule of law is replaced by the rule of men - Republican men.
Now we see, he’s a nasty belligerent evil bastard even when he’s sober.
I guess we can dispense the notion that the help being solicited from the Russians was not a “thing of value” as apparently, the GOP was willing to pay for it.

A veteran Republican operative and opposition researcher solicited and raised at least $100,000 from donors as part of an effort to obtain what he believed to be emails stolen from Hillary Clinton, activities that remain of intense interest to federal investigators working for special counsel Robert Mueller’s office and on Capitol Hill.*
Yes, but whatabout, but whatabout, but whatabout, if the democrats had catering for an event, and one of the employees of the catering company was an immigrant, then they payed for a thing of value to a foreigner with campaign money, and that makes them just as bad.
Actually, that might well be evidence that they didn’t* know* it was the Russians, just figured it was some bunch of hackers out to make a good old fashioned dollar!
400 pound guys gotta eat too!
Kavanaugh will factor in the Mueller and other federal investigations.
And not in a good way.
