    I think one of the most important reports that fell through the cracks of yesterday's tsunami of news is CNN's report that Rosenstein has been consulting w/DOJ ethics lawyers & got non-recusal approved. Badly undercuts Trump's excuse for firing.https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/13/politics/rod-rosenstein-ethics-recusal/index.html …

        I'm concerned with Nunes, Goodlette and Gowdy's request for memos by Monday. Do you have any thoughts on that?

        This is going to keep going. It's likely the memos aren't that sensitive. But they'll come up with something more sensitive to demand until such time as they pay a price for doing so.

        Thank you so much. So sounds like Rosenstein should comply. If he were fired, it's likely they would still get them anyway. I would like Rod around for as long as possible.

        He is a participant and witness in the violations of the Woods procedure with respect to the Trump campaign FISA spying. That is reason enough for him to be fired; playing both sides of the fence.

        Adhominum attack and appeal to self as authority, instead of addressing the thrust of the argument. Logical fallacies. Question is: why?

        FBI is doing everything by the book and it’s driving Trump crazy. In his family business, lawyers used cheap threats and hush money to settle cases. Trump is trying same tactics with the FBI and keeps running into a wall labeled, “Rule of Law”. #TrumpCrimeSyndicate

        Fortunately, the Constitution clearly defines the separation of political power. Trump and the Justice Dept are protected from each other, so we can stop worrying!

        Yea, McCabe consulted them too, and in a rushed IG report was found to have lied about everything. This doesn't matter to these ppl. They'll just make up stuff to justify firing him. They're that desperate.

        They want information to pass along to the WH that has been their job all along - most especially Nunes who should have been kicked off any committee after his midnight run - GOP let h stay!! Strategy

        I agree. I think Rosenatein and most career DOJ /FBI folks are rule followers and are very conscious of the boundaries of the law.
