Josh Dawsey @jdawsey1 2m2 minutes agoRemember famous incident where Sessions offered to resign after Trump berated him. Then dragged back into White House from his SUV by Pence, Priebus, etc. Resignation eventually was not accepted. Just a reminder that it's often fluid/crazy with this White House.

Pete Williams is now suggesting that this meeting at the White House could be a clearing of the air and Rosenstein may keep his job.

Kinda surprised to see Kelly sitting there, alone, tasked with such a monumental and consequential responsibility. Would Kelly allow himself to be the one sparking a constitutional crisis? I don't know.
