1. Sometimes I think Rod Rosenstein has some degree of conscience. Sort of a John Dean.

2. And therefore (by his own admission)

Would not fire Mueller even if ordered to by higher authority.

3. That of course isn't stopping Republicans like Chabot

to create the false narrative that Mueller's team is biased for donating to Democrats in the past, and thus the entire investigation needs to be shut down.

5. one man one vote is private business.

No one has the right to discriminate against you based on how you voted... therefore your donations are off limits also.

[Botany]

4. IOW

Trump's ass is cooked. End of story.

6. and he is now singing Mueller's praises (qualifications at time of appointment)

this helps to set up a strong basis for resisting firing him.

7. When the time comes

Elf will fire Rosenstein and find someone else to fire Mueller. Just like the Saturday Night Massacre 45+ years ago.

9. Sounds like a 100% plausible scenario to me.

Trump is a thin-skinned, paranoid, powder-keg too threatened to let Mueller's work come to fruition. Just as Trump's trigger finger is itching to nuke N. Korea, it's also itching to fire Mueller.

8. I think he's still smarting from being thrown under the bus.

When 45 said he was the reason he fired Comey.

Rosenstein pulled himself out from under the tire, miraculously.

10. Almost everyone has disdain for Trump. Why should FBI agents be any different?
