Report: Rod Rosenstein Expected To Resign
The Memes Just Keep Getting Better And Better
January 8, 2019The Huffington Post Thinks The Chuck And Nancy Thing Went Well. Seriously.
January 9, 2019Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is expected to resign, although not until after William Barr is confirmed.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed special counsel Robert Mueller and remains his most visible Justice Department protector, is expected to leave his position soon after William Barr is confirmed as attorney general… https://t.co/fFjPLDBpFc

CBS News correspondent Paula Reid was told Rosenstein always saw this as a two-year position and wants to ensure a smooth transition. But the timing is surprising.
It’s unclear what Rosenstein’s departure means for the special counsel investigation, which he has overseen since he appointed Robert Mueller. Barr will likely inherit oversight of the investigation, but that is not a guarantee. His previous criticism of the investigation is expected to be a central theme in his confirmation hearings next week.
Sarah Sanders made it clear to reporters that this is NOT a firing.
Via @PeteWilliamsNBC : Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein intends to step down within the next month, according to admin officials familiar with his thinking. They insist that he is not being forced out…He had long planned to serve about two years as the DOJ's #2 official

Libs are sure there’s a good reason for Rosenstein’s move. Muller must be SO CLOSE!
Rod Rosenstein stepping down means one thing to me; that he is confident that Mueller's investigation is far enough along that no one can shield Trump or his family from whatever crimes took place. I believe there are sealed indictments & Mueller is just building a better case.

Rod Rosenstein’s watch is ending. There is no cause for panic. Mueller and the SDNY are too far out of the gate to be stopped. https://t.co/BmdcWOIvUI

Rod Rosenstein would not leave DOJ voluntarily, unless he *knew* that Mueller could complete his #TrumpRussia🇷🇺investigation unabated. https://t.co/akv9xE3ANQ

I hope this means a lot more #TrumpRussia indictments are coming shortly.
The big ones.

That’s the current narrative. Rosenstein is leaving because Mueller’s about to dump on Trump.
They’ve been shouting “any minute now” for over a year. Should someone tell them?
