Deputy director of the Department of Justice Rod Rosenstein autjored a report on why former FBI director James Comey should be fired and then advised Presient Donald Trump he should fire FBI director Comey.
Once the president, exercising his legal Authority, fired Comey it is being reported that Rosenstein plotted, planned, and attempted to recruit Cabinet Members to participate in a conspiracy where he, Rosenstein, would secretly record the president and then have his band of conspirators use the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office!
Rosenstein reportedly discussed wearing 'wire,' invoking 25th Amendment against Trump
'A bombshell report published Friday afternoon claims Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein last year suggested secretly recording President Trump to expose chaos in the White House and enlisting Cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him from office. Rosenstein adamantly denied the accusations.'
According to anonymous sources, "The deputy attorney general, Rod J. Rosenstein, suggested last year that he secretly record President Trump in the White House to expose the chaos consuming the administration, and he discussed recruiting cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Mr. Trump from office for being unfit," the New York
Times reports.
Fact: Trump is facing enormous pressure right now with Manafort, Gates, Cohen, and Flynn all working with Mueller and his once secure SCOTUS choice is being threatened.
Fact: Trump regards Mueller's investigation as a "witch hunt."
Fact: Trump recently said, "I don't have an attorney general." Trump has been wanting to fire Rosenstein for months and derail the Mueller probe.
Fact: An anonymous writer for the Times struck at the very heart of the Trump administration a couple weeks back and suggested the 25th Amendment to remove the President.
Conjecture: The
Times would not print an article such as this one from just anybody. The anonymous source had to be high up on the food chain, like say chief of staff John Kelly. Who better to fire back an anonymous article in the
Times to get back at those questioning the President. Call it poetic justice. The plot is very transparent and wreaks of Trump's inane retaliation. Trump may have written it.
After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard Law School, Rosenstein clerked for a federal judge before joining the Justice Department in 1990 and was appointed United States attorney for Maryland. The man is no fool.
This is what we are supposed to believe. Rosenstein was just two weeks into his job. He had begun overseeing the Russia investigation and played a key role in the President’s dismissal of Comey by writing
a memo critical of his handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation. The attorney general, Sessions, has recused himself from the Russian investigation.
Two weeks into the job with enormous new responsibilities, Rosenstein feels the need to lead a palace revolt to remove the emperor. That kind of plot would be immediately rejected by Hollywood. Too farfetched, but for an intelligence challenged President it fits nicely with wishes to sabotage the Mueller probe, fire Rosenstein then get Mueller removed and slow down the carnage.
Next Rosenstein is going to be so stupid as to blab the plan to chief of staff, John Kelly. The
Times reports, "He did tell Mr. McCabe that he might be able to persuade Attorney General Jeff Sessions and
John F. Kelly, then the secretary of homeland security and now the White House chief of staff, to mount an effort to invoke the 25th Amendment."
This anonymous source then says, "Mr. Rosenstein appeared conflicted, regretful and emotional, according to people who spoke with him at the time."
Perfect, Trump would think. He does not want an A.G. who is conflicted, regretful and emotional. Duty calls. Perfect grounds for termination.
It all fits, but one would have to be a moron to believe all this. It is the perfect scenario for Trump. That is the problem. It is too perfect, too scripted.
“The New York Times’s story is inaccurate and factually incorrect. I will not further comment on a story based on
anonymous sources who are obviously biased against the department and are advancing their own personal agenda," Rosenstein said.
I believe him. The alternative is too preposterous.
It says a great deal about our current President that this is even being suggested. It is impossible to image such a scenario with any other President.
