Edit: source update, 1am Friday. This was tweeted by a Politico reporter. But currently there is no info on the DoJ site. Justice Dept could have emailed this to reporters. But it could also be fake. Im going to leave this comment here and will edit/update if new information comes in.

Note who will be present:
- Rosenstein (who announced the 13 Russian indictments a few weeks ago)
- Treasury Dept official!!! (Financial intelligence - aka criminal funding / money laundering)
- NY US Asst AG (Southern District of NY)
- And 3 other FBI officials.
This should be big. It seems likely this is going to be a bunch of indictments related to Guccifer 2.0 (announced today as Russian intelligence).
Comment below with your guesses for how big and who. My guess: 15 indictments, mostly Russians, but also Roger Stone, and a few Americans we haven't heard of. Maybe even Assange.
This is going to tie right back to the GOP and the President.

All the while remember: the GOP billionaire donor class built a propaganda machine: Limbaugh, Fox, Breitbart, WSJ, think tanks, Liberty U and on and on. They build the propaganda machine to get votes for tax cuts for billionaires. And they used the propaganda machine to incite hate and fear and racism and xenophobia and hate for liberals, all while most GOP politicians used dog whistles to appeal to the same propagandized base. And the president took over that propaganda machine by skipping the dog whistles and echoing the propaganda out loud.
The GOP built the framework to destroy America, all with the goal of destroying the government to cut taxes on the rich. Then the GOP lost control of their propaganda machine. This is on the GOP.

Presumably Justice Dept emailed a bunch of reporters about this, announcing the press conf.

(7,410 posts)since Sessions is recused from any cases involving either. Otherwise, he'd be in on the photo op. So it should be about Russia and the Trumpy campaign. And it could be in response to Trumpy's "Crazy Thursday." Since Trumpy now has third-rate attorneys running his scandal show, it's possible that Rosenstein is ready to run the table on them.
