10 Reasons It’s Time To Fire Rod Rosenstein

1. Rosenstein’s claim to authority falls within the scope of former attorney general Jeff Sessions’s recusal from “any matters related in any way to the campaigns for President of the United States.” Nevertheless, Rosenstein has empowered the special counsel to pursue people related to the 2016 campaign for president, not crimes related to the 2016 campaign.
2. Recently, The New York Times published an allegation that Rosenstein, as acting attorney general, “suggested last year that he secretly record President Trump in the White House… discussed recruiting cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Mr.
3. But it seems to me that when a subordinate undermines the president, defies Congress, flouts the rule of law, and now bucks the chain of command, it’s time to reach onto the chess board and relocate Rosenstein’s office to McMurdo Research station in Antarctica.
4. The article included an ambiguous denial from Rosenstein that unspecified details in the report were “inaccurate and factually correct.” He added that, “Based on my personal dealings with the president, there is no basis to invoke the 25th Amendment.” There is no basis, meaning the story could have been true in 2017.
5. In all the indictments and convictions Mueller obtained, every one is a Beria-style conviction under the special counsel’s jurisdiction over “any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation.” Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, George Papadopoulos, Rick Gates, Alex van der Zwaan, Cohen, and Sam Patten were all convicted of crimes not related to contacts between the Russian government and the Trump campaign.
