      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?

          Legit thinks NYT's performance in the Trump era deserves scrutiny. What are his ties there?

          With an incredibly inept Managing Editor, Dean Bacquet, and the biased Maggie Haberman that’s all DJT really needs.

          Are we going to kid ourselves and think this will be the single motivating factor to oust Sessions and Rosenstein?

          It’s all Trump needs...Deep State solidified...the top officials Even though he hired them, calls the NYT the Failing New York Times and mounds of evidence to suggest he is a national security threat... But it’s all the MAGAts need.

          Understood. I just see out as a catalyst for speeding up the inevitable. He wanted a reason to fire them, now he has it. What does the coward do now.

          If all he does is complain on twitter, it shows he is weak. If he actually fires Sessions and/or Rosenstein, it opens holy hell. This article has forced his hand. He has to do something, or nothing.

          Well they need reduced heat from Dr. Ford running 24/7 in the news. Done. But I still think he doesn’t move until after the midterms. But what this does do is give Trump talking points during his rallies and something to get the base riled up over.

          If it drags on more than 72 hours without firing, he'll be framed as weak and ineffective. A cuck in the eyes of his imaginary alpha male base

          I don’t think so...I think they’ll see it as presidential. His base I mean. A dude I spar with regularly on Facebook thinks Trump hasn’t involved himself in the investigation AT ALL... Look at that...they’ll say. He didn’t even fire him because there’s nothing there.
