Rosenstein

sorry watermark but you are behind on your talking points. rosenstien already admitted to saying it, but claimed he was being sarcastic. Now, lisa page (not an anonymous source, but someone that actually has a name) has said he was 100% not being sarcastic. So you are as wrong as king kong stepping on a bong.

FAKE NEWS

 
Was Rosenstein being sarcastic about wearing a wire to record his conversations with Trump?

Or was he serious? At least one NYT reporter has doubled down on the claim Rosenstein was serious.

What, if anything, should Trump do about it?

I wouldn't doubt if the NYT made THIS one up, too......just trying to bait Trump to fire Weasel sooner than later.
 
What Trump should do is put a loaded Glock in his mouth and pull the trigger.
Whatever reason he comes up with for doing it is fine by me.

Stop projecting. That'd be you who should shoot yourself in the head. But we know libs are scared of guns, so, just pound an ice pick into your left eye with a ball peen hammer. That should do the trick.
 
Sessions was an opponent of legal and illegal immigration during his time in Congress.[195][196] He opposed the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 and the bi-partisan Gang of Eight's Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013. He said that a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants undermines the rule of law, that the inflow of guest workers and immigrants depresses wages and raises unemployment for United States citizens, and that current immigration policy expands an underclass dependent on the welfare state. In a May 2006 floor speech, he said, "Fundamentally, almost no one coming from the Dominican Republic to the United States is coming because they have a skill that would benefit us and that would indicate their likely success in our society."[197][198] He is a supporter of E-Verify, the federal database that allows businesses to electronically verify the immigration status of potential new hires,[199] and has advocated for expanded construction of a Southern border fence.[200] In 2013, Sessions said that an opt-out provision in immigration legislation before Congress would allow Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano to avoid building a border fence. PolitiFact called Session's statement "False", stating that the provision would allow Napolitano to determine where the fence was built, but not opt out of building it entirely.[201]

Sessions's Senate website expressed his view that there is a "clear nexus between immigration and terrorism" and that "Plainly, there is no way to vet these refugees" who would immigrate to the U.S. from Syria in 2016 or who came to the U.S. after September 11, 2001 and were alleged to be involved in terrorism. The news release said that "the absence of derogatory information in our systems about an individual does not mean that admitting that individual carries no risk".[202][203] Sessions has expressed the view that the children of immigrants from Muslim-majority countries are "susceptible to the toxic radicalization of terrorist organizations" on the basis of the Orlando and San Bernardino Attacks.[204][205] Sessions supported establishing safe zones as an alternative to immigration from war-torn countries.[206][207]

Breitbart News executive chairman Steve Bannon talked about Jeff Sessions as the leader of the movement for slowing down both legal and illegal immigration before Donald Trump came to the scene, considering his work to kill immigration reform as akin "to the civil rights movement of 1960". Sessions and his communications director Stephen Miller developed what Miller describes as "nation-state populism" as a response to globalization and immigration.[208]

Immigration is the issue that brought Sessions and Trump together.[209] Trump has credited Sessions as an influential advisor on immigration.[210][211] After Trump was elected and announced Sessions as his Attorney General nominee, Cato Institute immigration analyst Alex Nowrasteh observed "It's almost as if Sessions wrote Trump's immigration platform."[212]

On June 18, a group of more than 600 United Methodist Church clergy and laity announced that they were bringing church law charges against Sessions. The members of the group accused him of "child abuse, immorality, racial discrimination and dissemination of doctrines contrary to the standards of the doctrine of the United Methodist Church."[213] The last charge refers to Sessions' "misuse" of Romans 13, which he quoted to argue that secular law must always be obeyed.[214]

According to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), a woman and her child fled domestic abuse in El Salvador to seek asylum in the U.S. However the mother was removed from her detention facility and likely put on a plane on August 9, 2018, despite Justice Department promises that she and others would not be deported before the judge could rule on their cases. Judge Emmet G. Sullivan demanded, “Turn that plane around.” He threatened to hold those responsible for the removal in contempt of court, starting with Sessions, if the situation was not rectified. A Department of Homeland Security official stated, "We are complying with the court's requests ... the plaintiffs will not disembark and will be promptly returned to the United States." An ACLU suit challenged a recent decision by Sessions to make it nearly impossible for victims of domestic violence and gangs to qualify for asylum in the U.S. The lawsuit claims the woman and her young daughter came to the U.S. from El Salvador after twenty years of spousal abuse and her receiving death threats from a violent gang."[215]
 
I don't believe the President can directly fire the deputy attorney general. He can order the attorney general to fire the deputy attorney general, but if the attorney general refuses he's got to fire him, then fire the new acting attorney general.

Plus if he fire them he's going to have to try to get a second appointment through a possibly hostile senate. If the Democrats take power you can bet their ass they're going to play the same tricks the Republicans did and keep the senate officially in session 24/7 to prevent any recess appointments. You're not going to get another AG as right wing as Sessions.

Trump can fire him when Congress is out of session, then appoint an acting deputy AG to oversee Mullet.

If democrats want to turn the confirmation hearing on the acting deputy’s replacement into a circus, it won’t matter.

Like how the fuck can Rosenstein be the deep state if we all know his name and he was just appointed to a political position a couple of years back

Not a very deep state

I don’t care what terms are used for it.

It’s apparent that Rosenstein either intended to wear a wire or he was making a joke about wearing one. How many city blocks would have gone up in flames had that happened under Obama lol?

In either event, his conversation was leaked and now Trump can justifiably fire Rosenstein. The interesting issue was the motivation behind the leak. People don’t leak for giggles—there’s always a point to it.

Was it to give Trump political cover in firing Rosenstein? That’s actually funny lol. We can rule that out, I think.

The most plausible objective was to bait Trump into firing Rosenstein. Why does it seem like someone [or some people] might be getting desperate?

Whatever term you want to use for them is fine. Does the term ‘sedition’ mean anything to you?

Have you considered the fact that this incident never actually happened?
 
Cant answer that but there is a real possibility that it never happened. Lets sit back and wait till all the facts are available.

You never seem to lack for imagination when it comes to Trump and Putin lol.

Play along, why would someone leak that about Rosenstein?
 
Already answered that. Why are you so anxious to get rid of Rosenstein?

I’m actually giving Rod the benefit of the doubt.

Maybe he’s been set up, I don’t know. But why? Why would someone give Trump an opportunity to fire him and jeapordize the Mullet investigation?

Is this what you call giving someone the benefit of the doubt:

"Trump can fire him when Congress is out of session, then appoint an acting deputy AG to oversee Mullet"
 
Does the term ‘sedition’ mean anything to you?

Yes! The Sedition Act was passed by Congress and signed into law in 1918. It criminalized "speech that cast the government in a negative light", with penalties of up to 20 years.

The sky would be the limit for Trump with a law like that! Provided the Supreme Court upheld it, which it did in 1919.
