Is Vegas taking bets? My money would be on Flynn.

I think Flynn more likely than Manafort, esp given Woolsey attack this week. But no one really knows.
-
Does the timing matter? The SC comes back on Monday.

Don't see why Boente would be staying on if Trump is pressuring him or why he wouldn't have telegraphed his discomfort in resignation speech
-
Certainly smart to stay until Demers (his replacement at NSD) is confirmed. He can prevent bad things so long as he stays.
-
I see. Is there a reason that Trump wouldn't simply fire Boente, maybe optics?

You don't think Rosentein would cooperate with whatever Trump asked him?
-
Dunno. As Comey said he's the kind of guy that'll stay around. Also he seemed to be dismissing collusion the other day.
-
Yeah if I recall correctly Rod was aware Comey was going to be fired and still wrote that report on him. Hasn't exactly shown any backbone.

Maybe. But my strong impression (perhaps wrong) is that Boente would NOT refuse such a request from the WH.
