      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?

          The DAG has made some great sarcastic remarks, evident in many of his speeches. Some are quite good in fact. & btw, sarcasm is often used to express a deep desire not necessarily an actual intention to execute.
