Democrats would view Rosenstein ouster as an election 'gift'

Democrats believe they stand to benefit if President Donald Trump fires Rod Rosenstein, the U.S. Justice Department official who oversees the Russia probe, before November's elections.

But they disagree about how much they should wield it as a weapon in their battle to take back Congress.
Democratic Party sources and strategists say they know that if Trump fires Rosenstein, he will ignite a firestorm of accusations that the president is attempting to shut down the investigation into Russia's role in the 2016 election he won.

That will likely bolster their argument that Democrats should gain power to serve as a check on the presidency, they say.

Democrats are needed to serve as a check on Republicans. It should be pretty obvious that Republicans won't be.
