multiple sources tell NBC News that over the weekend, Trump made the decision, in conversations with staff and outside allies, not to fire Rosenstein.

1. then they need to shut the fuck up about it

and start governing, that's what we're paying them to do

[rockfordfile]

4. They are going to fire him at some point.

[gopiscrap]

8. Yeah, I am sure they are

but I hope folks rise up in the streets and go nuts when they do

[H2O Man]

10. Respectfully disagree.

Trump might fire him. But everyone around Trump recognizes that Rosenstein would very likely speak out publicly, including in congressional investigations in 2019. And that is why they know it's better for Trump to not fire him.

[Fred Sanders]

2. Too funny. Now the mass media is trying to cover up their morning squirrel chasing.

Just fess up...liberals are very forgiving folk.

7. Media need to out their fake source.

Make sure that piece of shit is never listened to again.

[unblock]

3. firing rosenstein would be obstruction of justice. so they're admitting the thought about it?

5. Since nothing that comes out of the WH

is true, I’m guessing they’re making a plan to fire Rosenstein.

6. Thursday is a stunt. He wants people looking at him and NOT at Kav

the predator.

9. Today was a stunt too. It was reported Rosenstein was headed to the white house to resign.

[H2O Man]

11. I think he was.

Kelly was not willing to accept the terms of his offer to resign. White House staff is telling Trump that Rosenstein could -- and would -- cause serious problems for Trump if he is fired, and the terms per the Mueller investigation if he resigns.

It is tense. But Rosenstein is holding some powerful cards, or he'd have been fired.

[spanone]

12. I hope you are correct.
