In reply to the discussion: Rosenstein Suggested He Secretly Record Trump and Discussed 25th Amendment [View all]DeminPennswoods
(15,354 posts)36. First thought was this sounds a lot like the
anonymous Op-Ed writer of last week. Rosenstein is not a cabinet member and neither are any of his colleagues or underlings. He would not be involved in any discussion of using the 25th amendment as that is the baliwick of the VP and cabinet only.
I suppose it's possible that Trump is closing in on finding who wrote the op-ed and this is an attempt to throw the hounds off the fox's scent.

This was a leak by W.H....to justify FIRING ROSENSTEIN. This will be the excuse. Mueller gone, too.
