Democrats Say Rosenstein Firing Would Be a Gift

Reuters: “Democratic Party sources and strategists say they know that if Trump fires Rosenstein, he will ignite a firestorm of accusations that the president is attempting to shut down the investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 election he won.”

“That will likely bolster their argument that Democrats should gain power to serve as a check on the presidency.”

“This week, Trump is due to hold his first meeting with Rosenstein since a Sept. 21 New York Times report said he considered secretly recording the president as part of a possible effort to remove him from office.”
