Lord he is proving every day that he is a **** poor president with none of the skill sets and understanding call for in that office.

Or to put it another way as a president he made one hell of a reality star.

Frankly I do not think he is evil just less then honest and totally unfit for the office he got himself elected to.

It not what is wrong with him so must as what is wrong with almost half the voters who voted for him as there was plenty of indications of how unfit he happen to be before the election.

Looks like the Deputy AG was going to have no part in taking the blame for the Comey firing. Seems as though Trump will need to find a better "lackey" next time around. Obviously, he was wrong when he thought that he had found a "Jr." Sessions in Rosenstein.

Have you actually read Rosenstein's memo? Why would he threaten to resign over the dismissal of Comey? The report that he did is so vague as to not even mention "unnamed sources", but merely states "reportedly". I'm not buying it.

One unnamed source close to the White House (one person somewhere in DC?) cited by the WaPo and other MSM reports (which are based on?) say X and thus we are agreeing with them even though we never checked it out. ;)
 
Why would he quit over something he wrote and recommended?
That makes no sense. Sounds like a nonsense article to me.

Yea way too many of see types of stories with no way to verify the story.
I swear they write these things for the drama effect.

Usually there is no source.

They need to create an emotional response to feed their minions.

They just like the drama.
They were going to throw a fit either way.

All you can do is sit back and point out their hypocrisy.

BI named its sources as other news reports, and even emphasized "reportedly" in its (cloned?) headline - but why say anything at all if you don't even bother to check with person that the story (rumor?) is about? It is no more than saying that "we read that X was upset and even (briefly?) thinking of quitting their job".

It isn't favorable to Trump. I would be totally flabbergasted if you actually "bought it".

Just because he may have recommended or supported the firing, he did not perform the act of dismissal. Therefore he was not comfortable taking the responsibility for it, or taking the "heat" for Trump.

"Minions" very accurately describes the mentality (or lack thereof) of a typical Trump voter. Actually, "mindless minions" is a much better description........:)

Claims of hypocrisy from a legion of Conservative "Obama haters" is as comical as using the term "sanitary landfill"......LMAO

Right, more nonsense. Tell us why exactly YOU buy it. Have you read Rosenstein's memo?

Nobody has claimed Rosenstein performed the "act of dismissal". Not sure what your point is. Obviously, the POTUS is the only one who could've fired Comey.

So in other words you've come to the realization that the story this thread is based on is a huge fail and you'd rather talk about something else now.

Got it.

From your link...

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who had written a three-page memorandum detailing the reasons behind his recommendation for Comey's dismissal, was painted by the White House as the main arbiter of the decision.

Trump had said he acted based on the recommendations of Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

But as Rosenstein was thrust into the spotlight shortly after news of Comey's dismissal broke, he was taken aback and even threatened to resign, according to an unnamed person close to the White House who was cited by The Washington Post.

The Post reported Wednesday that it was actually Trump who spearheaded Comey's firing. According to multiple news reports Wednesday night, Trump had grown increasingly angry and frustrated over Comey's handling of the investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russian officials to meddle in the 2016 election. The New York Times reported that Trump was also bothered by his inability to gain assurances of loyalty from Comey.

What about the bolded statement would trigger his "threat to resign?" And know how "threats to resign" are dealt with? "Have your letter on my desk in an hour."

The article and its anonymous source remind me of three-day old fish.

Trump Finds That Being President is A Hard Job

Trump often asks simple questions about policies, proposals and personnel. And, when discussions get bogged down in details, the president has been known to quickly change the subject — to “seem in control at all times,” one senior government official said — or direct questions about details to his chief strategist Steve Bannon, his son-in-law Jared Kushner or House Speaker Paul Ryan. Trump has privately expressed disbelief over the ability of judges, bureaucrats or lawmakers to delay — or even stop — him from filling positions and implementing policies.

Translation...He's training his staff. The POTUS (any powerful leader) will pull out the minutia when he thinks he needs minutia. It's not the other way around. What a stupid article.

And news for the author. . . Trump IS in control at all times. He is the President of the United States. This statement rings of a disgruntled employee in a private company saying about the CEO, "He must feel like playing boss today."

Pfft.

I'm not so sure that BI much cares about the matter. My take is that BI simply needs to fill its pages and can't afford to produce enough original content to do so.

Step out of line, fake news come and take you away! :lamo

I don't know if these people can make it 4 years! The butthurt only gets worse by the day!
 
Unrest undoubtedly does exist in DOJ. If it extends to the Deputy AG, who really knows? The extent of the unrest is unknown as well.

What is known is that Trump is angry, angry over the fact that the Russian scandal continues and grows. He apparently is angered he can't make it go away. The firing of Comey is not going to make it go away.

Human nature being what it is, the "resistance" in DOJ and the FBI will grow.
