Scoop: Besieged Sessions dines with Rosenstein in show of solidarity [View all]
Scoop: Besieged Sessions dines with Rosenstein in show of solidarity
If Donald Trump finally follows through on his rage and fires Jeff Sessions, the image with this story will be printed in history books.
Tonight at 7:35pm, the Attorney General strode into a high-end Washington restaurant to dine with his deputy Rod Rosenstein and the Solicitor General Noel Francisco.
The symbolism was unmistakable: the three top ranking officials in the Justice Department appearing together in a show of solidarity on the same day Trump is publicly and privately raging about Sessions.
When Trump sees this photo he'll have to absorb a concept that some of his aides have been trying to impress upon him for nearly a year, since he first began telling them he wanted to get rid of Sessions.
The concept: Fire Sessions, then what next? Are you going to fire Rosenstein too? And then what after that?
