Rosenstein: "As long as I’m in this position, [Mueller] is not going to be fired without good cause"

That's one of the things that led to Nixon's downfall. He kept firing people who wouldn't get rid of the SP.

Only an idiot would think it was appropriate to appoint Muller given his relationship with Comey.

Just because you go down one way, that doesn't mean u wouldn't have gone down the other way as well.

And given that Comey admitted to manipulating the appointment in the first place.

What does the optics of Comey's best bud running the investigation look like?

The mistake was hiring Rosenstein. Mueller was in position day 1

Trump has never said this. Others have openly questioned Mueller's bias as it should be questioned, no?

If it looks like a witch hunt Rosenstein could fire him. period.

It would be shady as hell for Trump to fire Mueller. No way the President is that reckless and stupid.

without good cause

Sounds like he's already parsing his words. If collaborating with a known perjurer in Comey, isn't a good cause, then there wont ever be 'a good cause'

So basically every person in DC who commented on it when it was announced. Including Newt and pro-Trump Rs.

Thanks for stating the obvious Rod

Good thing 'good cause' is subjective.
