Wonder if Mueller did this to give him and Rosenstein cover? Smart if he did.
I wonder whether anyone has explained to Trump that he's going to have different challenges killing SDNY investigation into Cohen than he would killing Mueller investigation.

Lots that was smart about it, but it may make it more likely Rosenstein is fired.

You watching
@maddow? What is article A in the Cohen case? -
Attachment A*
-
I don't watch Maddow. I find it unwatchable now (plus I'm in an airport). Attachment A in Cohen is the stuff they're permitted to search for. Does she have it?
-
No, she was quoting portions of the transcript from the hearing. Cohen's lawyers said iirc that there were five paragraphs in the attachment that referred directly to communications with Trump and in their opinion *that* was what the case was about

I'm confident this was explained to him and is why Rosenstein wasn't fired. Cat is out of the bag. Still unsure why Trump didn't massacre last summer, it would have been ugly but least bad option.
-
He believed a lot of people who were sufficiently indoctrinated in his mob would act like they were.

How different is Sessions's recusal from Berman's? I guarantee there will be a more undetectably compromised Koch-vetted nominee to replace Berman by May 3. Will that one have the power over SDNY investigators & prosecutors that a RR or Sessions replacement would over Mueller?
-
We don't have good details on either. Or on what Trump plans to do with Berman, but no one is nominated. I'm not sure Trump gets a second interim.
-
I've seen people who should know better claim a second interim can be appointed -- untrue under 28 U.S. Code § 546 (d) https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/28/546 … I wrote about this last month and have been haranguing Senate Judiciary Dems. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/03/jeff-sessions-is-evading-senate-confirmation-of-u-s-attorneys-in-jurisdictions-where-trump-might-be-investigated.html … Need more voices angry!

Isn’t US Attorney interim? Could he appoint a new one that will do his bidding?
-
That's what Berman was supposed to be, but he's recused on this.

"Explained to Trump" is an impossible task.
