Is Trump sharpening the guillotine blade even now

that it might forever sever the fortunes of the 5th and 6th vertebrae of some unfortunate individual later this afternoon?

Robert Muller?

Rod Rosenstein?

Is his tweet this a.m. against Rosenstein some sort of sick foreplay?

"I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director!" Trump said on Twitter, calling the probe into him a "Witch Hunt."

so that's Rosenstein.

Rosentein is an unknown quantity to me. I can't tell if he is intimidated by trump and bending to his will, or leading trump down the garden path.

That statement of Rosenstein's last night was a head-scratcher. I first thought it was pro-trump - don't listen to "anonymous sources," but in light of this trump tweet of this morning, wondering if he wasn't actually dismissing trump himself? But why the reference to foreign countries? Give me a clue?

Rosenstein meant last night. Perhaps something from a fake news source will break today or this weekend.
