I know the current plan is to have massive flash protests if the Madman fires Mueller.

However, I think there should be a same protest trigger point in the event he fires Rosenstein, because that's the sign he's making his move to get Mueller fired. The wheels are being put into motion.

There's no sense in waiting at that point. If Rosenstein goes, we should immediately take action, to send off an S.O.S. and show to the world that this is an illegitimate process and a major crisis.

donnie can't fire mueller directly, so he has to fire or bully others to do it for him.

firing rosenstein would be part of that.


but i suspect there won't be much of a time difference between rosenstein getting fired and mueller getting fired or at least told to wrap it up pronto and probably kill any pending indictments.

could ride herd on Mueller and limit his investigation in a way that Rosenstein has consistency refused to do.

I want to hear what those in Congress will do when Rosenstein will is removed, which we all know is the precursor to a Mueller removal.

I hope that Congress will howl but I assume their will be quiet resignation on their part. If they won't fight, we'll have to.
