Trump views that as a sign of weakness, and he won't do it.

Not before Thursday, anyway.

He didn't take the bait and Trump is too chickenshit to fire him.

[Breaking: Rod Rosenstein to stay in job for now, will meet with Trump on Thursday, White House says

Rosenstein’s future was a matter of considerable confusion Monday morning following reports that he had offered to resign.]

Anyone want to place bets on whether or not this meeting on Thursday actually takes place? I'd say the odds at this point are 1:3 that we'll all be too busy discussing just-happened events in the Kavanaugh shitshow to notice that it never happens.
