And This is How Civil Wars Begin....

[ABNAK]

The NY Times (of all places) is reporting that Rod Rosenstein tried to push Trump out of power using the 25th Amendment way back in 2017:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/21/u...amendment.html

His effort failed, and he was attempting to use a legal process rather than an armed coup, but it shows how much he hates Trump and the efforts that the various deep state / resistance types have gone to.

With this breaking it seems that RR should be out of office tonight. Though I'm not holding my breath for that.

That little beady-eyed bastard Rosenstein needs to get marched out at bayonet point and subsequently charged with treasonous activity, like fomenting a coup.

Anyone recall how he supposedly threatened members of Congress when he testified in front of them some months back? Not outright "I'll get you" threats but more sublime "I'll use the power of the Deep State to climb up your ass with a microscope" ones.

Seriously? The NY Times doing Trump a favor? I doubt it. Ask Admiral Akbar what it is.

Yeah, I see that angle and given the NYT hostility that seems like a real question.

Translation: maybe RR has become an actual danger to other parts of the deep state, and this is a smear to take him out to mitigate the risk.

Alternative: in some Dem fantasy land, firing RR for blatant insubordination would be grounds for Trump's impeachment.

Is he not one of those that serves "at the pleasure of the President"?

I agree with you though that the loonballs on the Left would have collective strokes over firing RR.

I think it is a warning to him that Mueller is too close to investigating a Democrat donor with links to Clinton and Podesta. Notice how that story has been sent down the 1984 memory hole? Try to Google it.

Caught up in that probe is former Obama White House counsel Greg Craig.

Craig served as White House counsel during the first year of President Obama’s administration.

According to CNN, federal prosecutors in New York are contemplating charges against Craig over whether he failed to register as a foreign agent, along with the law firm where he formerly served as a partner, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP. Mueller referred an investigation of Craig and Skadden to federal prosecutors earlier this year, CNN reported.

Is that not the VERY definition of, "WIN - WIN?"

I am so tired of all this, meaning not that the democrats are scum, for to me resent history shows the left has caused more misery and murder than the right.

What I am tired of is the republicans just take it.

For a budget of $3,500,000 to $5,000,000 a month, I know that enough dirt could be dug up on the dems, to muzzle them. I happen to know a company that can do this and never get caught.

A friend of mine who used to be high up in DOJ told me the Clinton's spend about that amount of money digging up dirt on everyone.

I wonder how much Justice Scalia's pillow cost at that Obama donor's exotic hunting ranch?

Didn't want to start a new thread, so dropping this here. Am I the only one that didn't know Betsy DeVos is the sister of Prince's is the brother of Erik Prince, of BW? I found that pretty amazing.

From what I have read Eric Prince has had some fairly close dealings lately with the White House and .gov.
