BTW, do you know who else didn’t read daily intelligence reports?

Rhymes with vixen.

Yeah, not sure what to think about this, but nothing good, that’s for sure.

Couldn’t even last a year on the job. No commitment. Bad people!

Along with her assistant, a career DOJ employee. Something must be up.

I dunno.

I see Trump as the kind of sadistic monster who would reject a Kelly resignation.

Beauregard, from inside the Cube of Unending Humiliation: “Oh G-d, no, don’t stuff him in here with me – it’s already too cramped!” (Resumes bleak whimpering)

I think that being constantly lied about by a spit ball like tRump would wear anyone out, who needs that shit when a great career is waiting in the private sector.

It’s not like anyone has their backs, congress?

Pffftt…

Anyone that values their integrity cannot work for this administration -especially an attorney.

Trump can’t even wait for the right day. I guess we’ll find out why at some point. It’s been a wishy-washy “Trump was being a big meanie to her.”

Nah. Too easy.

What does Rachel do for the administration? I am not familiar with her.

I see - nevermind - she was no. 3 at the DOJ

Podhoretz said he had friends who asked him about taking a job in the White House. He said he told them he was sure they could do a good job, but it would be a career-destroying move.

this is complete BS. There will be no resignation but they will play it like it is a serious possibility. A resignation is as likely as Collins winning support in the senate for DACA. More pander to foolish Americans.

Third- ranking official behind Sessions and Rosenstein.

Just saw a twieet that she was offered a job at a Fortune 500 company that made an offer she couldn’t refuse. That report came from Fox News.

In line behind Rosenstein. If Trump fired him she would be his replacement.

Thank y’all - I just opened Rawstory and saw that.

Interesting.

I thought I read somewhere that she was considered likely to play along with…or at least be more helpful to…Trump if he ousted Rosenstein. That could be entirely faulty memory and wrong though. If it’s not wrong, then her leaving concerns me that she maybe wasn’t willing to be Trump’s patsy but saw it coming down the tracks, i.e., Trump is seriously considering giving Rosenstein the boot.
