    Um. Rosenstein turned over his (DOJ) firing memo months ago. Not an escalation.https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/932446501044936704 …

    Seems inevitable but a pretty high stakes escalation regardless http://abcnews.go.com/US/special-counsel-sends-wide-ranging-request-documents-justice/story?id=51261366 …

        Uh article implies this is more far reaching than rosenstein memo

        Yes. But says all of it is from DOJ. Which is where Rosenstein works. Ergo, no escalation.

        Or Mueller now knows Rosenstein held back docs and is sending his people in for a deep dive. Escalation.

        For someone with zero evidence backing them up you certainly are going quick to the 'idiot' card. If you read even a few lines from the article you would see they are going for emails they don't have yet. Escalation.

        I think fox and friends will ultimately determine if it's an escalation

        @joshtpm this is a dumb statement. Primarily it presumes that firing memo is the sole thing DOJ has on the firing the FBI director. There are undoubtedly phone records, emails, white papers, memos, exit paperwork, and anything since then

        Yeah agree. But he's definitely looking for something. This reminds me of when Rove almost got Indicted. Close to the end he sang.

        Yes. But did he turn over any emails from, say, Jefferson Sessions regarding the memo? Or from others in the department discussing creation of the memo? Or, you know, a copy of Trump's original draft letter firing Comey (which Rosenstein has)? This is a *huge* escalation.

        It’s like these writers a) don’t keep/or keep up with a chronology; and b) don’t understand how the legal system works. This never ceases to amaze me

        So when Trump finishes his first term and possibly win a second term will these people find something new to decry about?
