    NYT Gives Trump His Excuse to Fire Rod Rosenstein https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/09/21/nyt-gives-trump-his-excuse-to-fire-rod-rosenstein/ … By this description, ZERO of the people accusing Rosenstein of acting erratically were actual witnesses to his actions.pic.twitter.com/XIajdwA08S

        So the NYT makes a headline out of descriptions "several" (which is, like, 2) people who only know the events thirdhand say, and then bury what Rosenstein and an actual witness say.

        Say, NYT, rather than treating thirdhand gossip as more reliable than actual witnesses, why not try to understand the scope of POTUS' Russia declassification order?

        Seriously, if this doesn’t sound like mobilizing their access jounalists including contributors to this article (Apuzzo), I don’t know what does. Just last week, Schmidt was saying Trump *had* to fire people after Manafort flipped. I don’t trust the framed narrative here.

        Add this to the hit job coming out of Grassley and Hatch’s offices of deleted tweets and conspiracy theories put forth from GOP Ethics operatives, I’d say this is just a distract distract distract.

        The New York Times is being played. Someone in the White House leaked this to them so Trump would have an excuse to fire Rosenstein and replace him with someone who will obstruct the Mueller investigation. Y'all let yourselves be used. Just like in 2016. https://twitter.com/nytmike/status/1043195272992632835 …

        I’m skeptical about this New York Times report; it smells like a deliberate leak to set up Rosenstein for firing. http://lgf.bz/2NZNphf
