    Wonder if Rosenstein and Wray know when the next big indictment is going to drop and that's why they placated Trump today.

        Why does everyone refuse to admit that they are acting like cowardly yes men like all other Trump appointees? What have either them done in the face of constant undermining of the FBI? They won’t even defend their people.

        They are so crafty in how they cave to everything without a fight or word of protest.

        That's my best guess too. DAG Rosenstein and FBI Director Wray are possibly playing for time, granting whatever is enough to placate the raging beast, all the while hoping to buy time for Mueller to make his next move.

        Right. This buys time either way. It feeds the 24/7 RW bullshit machine, which would otherwise have to gin up something else. Gives Trump something to watch on the TV.

        My logical brain says the same. My ancient reptilian brain says everyone is an enemy, and we’re all doomed.

        Judging from the sheer volume of "OMG it's Watergate BUT WORSE" vomiting forth from the mouths of the usual suspects in righty media, my guess is that they know this is coming too.

        atp sounds like make-believe; aka every time Rosenstein gives DOJ ground to Trump a thousand virgins are spared from being sacrificed. Dude aided Trump's obstruction efforts re firing Comey, yet he gets the benefit of the doubt from 95% of ppl 100% of the times.

        I’ve little doubt that Roger Stone and a chunk of his Cadre of Fools will be indicted relatively soon. And there may be no one other than Cohen who likely has more dirt on Dear Leader.
