"Under zero circumstances should the president fire anybody"

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/9/22/17889998/hannity-rosenstein-25th-amendment-trump-wire-nyt

<snip>
The Fox News host thinks the New York Times’ story on Rod Rosenstein is part of a “deep state” maneuver to set up Trump.

<snip>
Sean Hannity has a perhaps surprising take on a report that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein suggested secretly taping President Donald Trump and invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from office: It’s a trap.

The Fox News host — who reportedly speaks with the president as often as daily — reacted in Friday’s episode of his show, Hannity, to a report from Adam Goldman and Michael Schmidt at the New York Times that Rosenstein broached the idea last year after FBI Director James Comey was fired. The report appeared to be based, in part, on memos written by former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

Rosenstein has denied the Times’ report, and there have been conflicting reports that his remarks were made sarcastically and in jest. Whatever the case, Hannity is warning Trump against acting.

“I have a message for the president tonight,” Hannity said on Friday. “Under zero circumstances should the president fire anybody.”

It's a trick! It's a trap! Don't fire him! That's what they want you to do!

Why?

And he told us that by not claiming they used anonymous sources , un-named sources he always goes after when its against him. The only time he doesn't is when they use it to go against others , so this is a set up against Rosenstein , and he''ll just claim he believes them as proof. Again another trump trick to undermine someone with to use against them. trumps trying to make up a situation against rosenstein to go after this investigation with , and undermine Mueller with, all acts of obstruction by trump , and his minions. All lies and distorted statements claiming them as true , when they know they aren't.

Trump is planting some propaganda seeds for his base?

"The NYTimes cannot be trusted".

"Hannity says it's a trap".

"They are trying to say "your President" is unstable". Can you believe that!!
