Washington (CNN)The White House is preparing talking points designed to undermine Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's credibility, according to sources familiar with the plan.

The plan calls on President Donald Trump's allies to cast Rosenstein as too conflicted to fairly oversee the Russia investigation.

The talking points are still in their preliminary form, and not yet finalized, people familiar with their preparation said. The White House and the Justice Department declined to comment.

Already, a number of Trump's associates have called for Rosenstein's firing in appearances on television and in public remarks over the past few days, but not all of them did so at the request of the White House.

9. Yes, but why is it...

That Mueller isn’t issuing a subpoena? Of course Trump will refuse it, but wouldn’t that put him in a better position?

2. Again, we all know that this wont change the facts

The cohen mess is in the hands of NY southern district, not muellers. Mueller I’m sure has known from the beginning that he may be fired. Then we have plan b, plan c, etc etc. dotard is toast firing or no

8. Rosenstein was called to the White House this morning.

I imagine he was given the ultimatum to submit his resignation or be fired.

As we've seen in the past, Trump decides to do something, then he tasks a team with creating a justification after the fact.

Rosenstein is probably consulting with his lawyer right about now, to determine his options.

Sessions will be next...maybe next week.

Resign and you'll get a nice bonus in your bank account.
