Rosenstein expects to be fired very soon.

WASHINGTON — Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has struck a stoic and righteous tone in private conversations he has had this week about the fate of his job as President Donald Trump has launched public criticism against him and considered firing him, according to three sources who have spoken to Rosenstein.

In those conversations, he has repeated the phrase, “Here I stand,” a reference to Martin Luther’s famous quote, “Here I stand, I can do no other.” Coincidentally, former FBI Director James Comey, whom Rosenstein fired, repeated the same phrase to President George W. Bush in a conversation that has been widely reported and that Comey describes in his forthcoming book.

Trump couldn’t dig himself a deeper hole if he had a tunneling machine.

ETA. And the scumpag GOP senate and House won’t do jack. Jeff Flake will be concerned.

Is this Trump’s way of saying that if he cannot take care of you, someone in the GOP will. Take this guy, who went to town for his boss: he perjured himself, lied to the FBI, and obstructed justice and had his sentence commuted and eventually pardoned.

Smells like a Bolton thing. He needs to reassemble the super-secret order of the Decepti-Neocons to do battle in Iran.

This is Trump’s extremely unsubtle way to signal to any potential witnesses that he will pardon any charges of perjury, obstruction of justice or lying to the FBI.

What next, a pardon for Darth Cheney?

“Libby was convicted of perjury, obstruction of justice and lying to the FBI in 2007 stemming from a probe into the leak of the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame.”

The record:

  • Then-candidate Nixon secretly negotiating to prolong the Vietnam War until after his election.

  • Reagan secretly selling weapons to Iranian terrorists while they were holding Americans hostage.

  • Cheney and Libby outing methods and sources to endanger the life of undercover CIA assets.

  • Trump and the RNC conspiring with the Kremlin to steal American elections.

It cannot be emphasized enough: The GOP is a treasonous mob of criminal traitors who hate America.

The record is clear.

Trump commits obstruction of justice as reliably as most people breathe.

Wow! I didn’t realize that the crime of compromising national security was a pardonable offense. This will not go over well with the other people trying to keep our country safe. The President does not stand with them.

A pardon is only that; it does not expunge his four felony convictions from his criminal record. And he doesn’t get his $250,000 back.

Pardoning one of the architects of the Iraq war is the definition of irony. Trump ran against the war and the cost of it even criticizing Jeb for his brothers decision. You had voters in swing states where their loved ones were on their 3rd or 4th tour and coming back with PTSD and attendant opioid abuse issues pulling the lever for Trump. You wonder how they feel now or do they give him a mulligan.
