BREAKING: Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein denies a NYT report that he suggested last year he secretly record Trump to expose chaos in the administration. According to the Times Rosenstein also floated the idea of trying to remove Trump through the 25th Amendment. apnews.com/e84a4acdb42641…
Rod Rosenstein should know better than to joke about something like the 25th Amendment. Especially in the era of Trump.
McCabe memos say Rosenstein considered secretly recording Trump wapo.st/2xqVlyE
Even Fox News is questioning the Rod Rosenstein 25th Amendment narrative in the NYT. As it is a perfect pretext for Trump to fire Rosenstein and seems just a little too convenient.
I wonder who the anonymous sources where for the NYT Rod Rosensten 25th Amendment story: John Miller, John Barron, David Dennison, or perhaps Trump has a new alias these days?

"If you don't like me working with President Trump to make the world a better place, I don't give a shit."
Lindsey Graham has done gone lost his mind. History will not be kind to him.
"I have argued to you that when you found that a judge was a perjurer, you couldn’t in good conscience send him back in a courtroom because everybody that came in that courtroom thereafter would have a real serious doubt."
— @LindseyGrahamSC (January 1999)
Lindsey Graham (2018): "He's not Bill Cosby, he's had power over women in the workplace...If you went to a party once where people are being drugged and gang-raped, you wouldn't go to the next nine."
The classic "he's not Bill Cosby" defense. #Kavanaugh
Irreparable damage has been done to immigrant children at the hands of our government. It's been 66 days since the Trump admin failed to adhere to a court's deadline to reunite children and parents. Many of these kids/parents will NEVER be reunited.
"In shelters from Kansas to NY, hundreds of migrant children have been roused in the middle of the night in recent weeks and loaded onto buses with backpacks and snacks for a cross-country journey to their new home: a barren tent city...in West Texas" esquire.com/news-politics/…
Brett Kavanaugh's opening statement makes him seem overtly political. Not a good look for a Judge hoping to be a Supreme Court Justice. #KavanaughHearings
HOLY SHIT!!! Did Brett Kavanaugh really just say this is a political hit by the Clintons?!! Really?! The GOP playbook is so predictable, and getting old, when in doubt blame the email lady. #KavanaughHearings
I cant even pay attention to the rest of Brett Kavanaugh's opening statement I am still dumbfounded that Kavanaugh really just said that this is a plot by the Clintons. How, why, what? How could HRC have orchestrated this? Its just utterly ridiculous. #KavanaughHearings
So Dr Ford is "confused" and "mixed up" about what happened 35 years ago but Brett Kavanaugh's memory of the same incident from 35 years ago is perfect and crystal clear?
When men, decades later, report abuse by priests they are believed, increasingly there are state investigations despite the statute of limitations having lapsed decades before they go public.
Whereas, Women who come forward decades later are "confused" or "lying."
Got it.
Sen Kirsten Gillibrand (NY): "Who is not asking the FBI to investigate these claims? The White House. Judge Kavanaugh has not asked to have the FBI to review these claims. Is that the reaction of an innocent person? It is not." #KavanaughAccuser#Kavanaugh
