Trump's media allies are warning him not to fire Rod Rosenstein after bombshell NYT report

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump's allies in the media are divided on how to defuse the bombshell report in which deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein allegedly floated the idea of invoking the 25th Amendment to evict President Donald Trump from the White House, and allegedly suggested wearing a wire to secretly record conversations with the president.

Rosenstein's alleged comments, which some sources claim was said in jest, were reportedly made days after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey in May 2017. The comments were recounted by sources who were briefed on either Rosenstein's meetings and conversations, or on the contemporaneous memos written by former FBI officials, including then-acting FBI director Andrew McCabe.

The revelation was first reported by The New York Times on Friday.

But the report, which Rosenstein described as "inaccurate and factually incorrect," still shook Trump's closest allies.

Conservative media personalities weighed in on TV and put forth their theories about who leaked details of the memo. While some conservatives called for Rosenstein's immediate ouster, others warned Trump to be cautious.

1. Then maybe if trump did fire Rosenstein,

given the great rw fear of firings before the election, since it may well happen after the election, maybe a firing would be . . . .

2. Been trying to flush out this whole episode surrounding Rosenstein story NYT -

Charlie Pierce....There is some seriously wicked maneuvering going on here, as Charlie says.. as he tries to flush out the story,,

Isn't this exactly the kind of story you would want for Christmas, your birthday, or one of your several wedding anniversaries? In addition, Rod Rosenstein may be a "senior named official," but he doesn't have fck-all to do with the 25th amendment. That's only for Cabinet members and members of Congress. Why not ask the pastry chef, and, if he mentions the 25th, then attribute it to a "White House source close to the president*"? Holy hell, it isn't usually this obvious.

Then you have to follow up with another article by Charlie....

Here, Charlie lets Jill Abramson, former Exec. Editor NYT, have some space to air her take on the current Exec Editor NYT - James Bennit - as she says..

it’s past time for someone to wrestle the wheel away from James Bennet for his own good and that of the newspaper. I never will understand how this unexpurgated codswallop ever gets past the laughter -
We have a guy who writes for The Federalist and who is an editor at First Things, the latter a journal of faith that occasionally functions as a Catholic fanzine for Protestant fundamentalism

As Charlie laments.....Isn't this exactly the kind of story you would want for Christmas -

Yup, IMHO they will get caught again..
