Discussion: WH: No 'Willingness' By Trump Or White House To 'Push' Rosenstein Out

Sanders denied it, so it looks like Trump did in fact manage to push Rosenstein out.

WH: No ‘Willingness’ By Trump Or White House To ‘Push’ Rosenstein Out

Yep. Two weeks sounds about right.

You can almost time these exits by the comments that get released on tRump appointees by his staff.

No willingness to push him out… but we are glad to see him go.

I have the feeling that no Press Secretary has spent less face to face time with a President than Sarah and Donald.

They don’t even seem to spend much time on the phone since more often than not they tell completely different stories, or at best widely divergent versions of the same story.

Basically, for purposes of Sanders interpretation, the mean time to an event is inversely proportional to vehemence with which Sanders denies that the event is going to take place.

"I don’t think there’s any willingness by the President or the White House to push him out,” she continued. “My guess is that he is making room for the new attorney general to build a team that he wants around him.”

Uhmmm…take another guess.

In the alternative - and I think this is more likely the case - what Sanders said here is of a piece with the campaign to get him to resign.

The suggestion that a career DoJ prosecutor and administrator for whatever reason told the Trump White House he intended to leave his career in a couple of years - he’d have been 52 then as he turns 54 this coming Sunday - seems very strange indeed.

Given our several years of experience with how the Trump campaign and the Trump White House operate with hirings and firings, this here sure looks like their conducting a very public ‘Quit now and get what you deserve which is nothing’ campaign, with him really knowing no more or any earlier than we all do.

It all most makes me think that the end game here is for the us lawyers defending the russians are stalling proceedings until barr gets confirmed and cleans the floor with the entire mueller investigation…while mitch sits on the side lines and they cant bipartisan support for protecting mueller from being fired…

I would suggest that Rosenstein knows what’s coming and wants no part of it. Some attempt to recover his rapidly waning legal career.

Would love if Pelosi could get him on the House investigation committees after he leaves the admin.

Just like a Tide chart. You can see the ebb and flow, just as you can see the ebb and flow of her eyebrows.

Dear White House.

Rosenstein is A) smarter than you are, and B) tougher than you are,and C) was burned once by you. He’s not going to take your hint and resign.

The “new” AG won’t be in long enough to assemble a staff, if he gets confirmed.

Muller is Coming.

Regards (not the Best)

So, Sarah, as usual, is obviously lying. Rosenstein was forced out… Admit it Sarah, just admit it.

I think he has approved already some Indictments that are currently sealed and wants to be clear out of dodge before they are unsealed. I suspect at least a few have unindicted co-conspirators including individual 1.

No doubt that when these are unsealed and/or when Mueller’s report is released, Rosenstein will be called to testify before Congress about it (perhaps in impeachment proceedings). It will be easier for him if he is out of the administration and out before Trump fires him.

Hamhock, I have no reason to expect that you are saying anything truthful. Rosenstein may be leaving but I strongly doubt it is willingly so. There is every reason to expect you are lying yet again as to Rod’s reasons.

My faith will be somewhat restored should what passes as the current occupant be indicted, arrested and frog marched off to jail.

Of course this was not a forced ejection…
