Trump just made another statement, and he is not happy with this special counsel. Rosen Rosen dropped it in his lap with no warning. Dude apparently DGAF. No wonder he was so easily confirmed by Congress.

Trump threw Rosenstein completely under the bus by trying to use him as a scapegoat for firing Comey. You know Rosenstein loved dropping this bomb right back on Trump.

Rosen was told Comey would be fired before he wrote his memo

Should he have informed Trump?

I know you Dems are used to throwing law and rules out the fricking window, but even the POTUS is supposed to abide by law.

What are you people talking about? Trump went on an interview with Lester saying he wanted to fire Comey as soon as he took office. It wasn't a secret.

Wut? Some might think he might should have given his boss a heads up. I'm glad he didn't.

Better than one calling for civil war and "blood in the streets."

For trump supporters the biggest issue really has to be that he still doesn't understand that he's doing a lot of this to himself.

He's not used to having to delicately build coalitions instead of just steamrolling people when he's upset. The people he screws rarely have an ability to truly fight back. Unfortunately for him the government isn't as easy of a place to do that and he has little of the capital to get away with his behavior.

That was the day after everyone in the administration from the VP down said it was done because of Rosenstein's recommendation..

He did, about a half hour before he informed the public.

Seems right.

He did say that. A couple days after Rosen told him that he wasn't going to be his scapegoat. Trump, so crafty..

Everyone knew that Trump wanted to fire comey, in fact, Trump intended to fire him in January. Comey finally gave Trump no choice. But please continue to blow rosenstein

No he didn't. Trump said he would have fired Comey regardless of Rosenstein's recommendation in Judge Jeanine Pirro interview. That comment threw his entire communications staff narrative for a loop. You don't remember this?

It's not his job to give the President warning although it might be done as a courtesy.

After trump's tantrum over comey, it's clear trump doesn't give a whit about behaving courteously.

Let me clarify because this administration is such a clusterfrick compared to any other in recent history.

Trump's entire team, including the VP, threw Rosenstein under the bus over the firing of Comey and then their boss made them look like fools and liars by completely contradicting them in an interview with Lester Holt.

Just another example of fine leadership by Trump.
