You simply have no other choice but laugh at the stupidity of DC....

WOW


quote:

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has privately told colleagues that he may have to recuse himself from the special counsel investigation of Russia's role in the 2016 election, ABC News reported Friday.

So, Rosenstein appoints Mueller but now Rosenstein has to recuse himself. Wouldn't this call into question the appointment of Mueller?

This is getting ridiculous.

He warned us to be skeptical of exactly this type of 'anonymous sources' reporting only yesterday. And they turn around and hit him with it immediately?

Brazen as frick.

Pretty sure this has been Trump's plan all along. Hire the most conflicted person possible as special counsel (Mueller), which will make the whole investigation come to a halt as all these conflicts pop up. Now Rosenstein is recusing himself leaving the #3 in charge of Mueller. Pretty soon Mueller will be forced to recuse or quit as well. Investigation over.

So no source cited.

Pretty ironic that, just today, Rosenstien cautioned everyone not to trust anonymous sources.

pretty much everyone with a brain knew this when it was announced, and even rosenstein said he very well might have to.

I bet that rosenstein would be quite happy to recuse himself and not have to deal with this bullshite.

The republicans recuse themselves like such wussies.The democrats never recuse.

I think we need to recuse all of DC but a select few.

Who does Mueller report to if not Sessions or Rosenstein?

Rats and Fence-sitters jumping off. Rush said that the reason Meuller is leaking is that he is scared of Trump firing him. Trump's Twitter is lethal. Why fire the Guy when you can manipulate him into either total honesty...or public humiliation; if not expose him commiting overt criminality (Obstruction/Cover-up re Comey/Lynch).

Bottom line. The Dems will rue the day they hit Trump under the belt. Might have worked on a lesser POTUS...but this one is ruthless. That is why we elected him. We knew what it would take. Beats the hell out of a civil war.

This is a Trump admin counter punch to the games the dems were playing. They made it where Trump would look guilty if he fired Meuller. Now by deputy AG recusing, it makes Meullers firing ok, because he was hired by a recused person, imo

Brilliant! Next guy in line will can Meullers arse

All the usual "experts" (Kristol, Favreau, Mair, etc) were mocking TRUMP for this tweet earlier today.

Trump has already counter-punched his way to more victories in 7 months than every Republican in DC combined has achieved for the past 16 years.
