Word is now that he's been summoned to the White House to be fired and won't resign.ghostjmf wrote:Bloomberg news confirms

It's more than a matter of semantics. If Rosenstein resigns, Trump can replace him under the Federal Vacancies Act without going through the Senate approval process which will undoubtedly be extremely contentious. If he is fired, it's not nearly as clear (translation: immediate lawsuit). It's also unclear how Mueller will react to the firing. He could well have a bunch of indictments sitting in his pocket ready to unseal.
Or maybe it's just a cigar.silverscreenselect wrote:Word is now that he's been summoned to the White House to be fired and won't resign.ghostjmf wrote:Bloomberg news confirms

I find it suspicious that Rosenstein is going to the White House the same day as Dr. Blasey Ford is appearing before the Senate Judicial Committee. Could it be that they're trying to distract the public?
Especially if it comes from the White House.flockofseagulls104 wrote:I am experiencing DEJA VU!

Why does anyone believe any news pertaining to politics from ANY source nowadays?
They want it SOooooooo much. They want a watergate so much they can taste it, and are doing their best to manufacture it.jarnon wrote:At the UN, Trump said he talked to Rosenstein by phone today, they'll meet Thursday, and he wants transparency. Trump's used that word in the context of releasing documents about Comey, Strzok, Ohr, etc. Rosenstein should remind him why there's a process for deciding what documents can be made public, and how the Inspector General (whom Trump praised for his report on the Clinton case) is digging into those issues. While he's at it, Rosenstein should assure Trump that he's not one of the turncoats mentioned in Woodward's book or the Times op-ed, and he's very loyal.
There's no need to manufacture something that's going to become very apparent soon enough.flockofseagulls104 wrote: They want it SOooooooo much. They want a watergate so much they can taste it, and are doing their best to manufacture it.
Flock, your lack of understanding of how modern news reporting works matches your lack of understanding of many things.flockofseagulls104 wrote:Methinks their 'unnamed sources familiar with the situation' are themselves. But no fake news here, folks.
Must be. I'm an old guy. I grew up watching Walter Cronkite, who was practically a Communist, but you wouldn't know it from his reporting. He reported the facts and let the viewer decide. Reporting rumors gossiped by some person who says they know something to a reporter is really not news to me.silverscreenselect wrote:Flock, your lack of understanding of how modern news reporting works matches your lack of understanding of many things.flockofseagulls104 wrote:Methinks their 'unnamed sources familiar with the situation' are themselves.

Deep Throat (Mark Felt) said he knew something and told it to Bob Woodward and that turned out fairly well. Back then, of course, the only real sources for news were the three networks, and a handful of papers like the Washington Post and the New York Times. That meant that Cronkite and Woodward had the luxury of doing a lot more verification and corroboration of their sources before they had to publish. And even then, the Post made some mistakes in their reports that were mentioned in the book All the President's Men.flockofseagulls104 wrote: Reporting rumors gossiped by some person who says they know something to a reporter is really not news to me.

Now it actually happened. Pres. Trump announced today that Gen. Kelly is leaving at the end of the year.flockofseagulls104 wrote:CNN main story today is that Kelly is resigning. More deja vu. How many times in the past year have they reported that he is going to, or has asked to step down? Why don't they wait until it actually happens?

Ayers won’t be his replacement. Reports state he was unwilling to commit to remain in the job for longer than 3 months. —Bobjarnon wrote:Now it actually happened. Pres.
