Fox's Ingraham calls for Trump to fire Rosenstein

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Fox News host Laura Ingraham is calling on President Trump to immediately fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

Ingraham issued the call after a report Friday that the No. 2 Justice Department official proposed secretly recording Trump in the Oval Office last year.

"Rod Rosenstein must be fired today," Ingraham wrote on Twitter. "He needs to go. Today."

Rosenstein quickly pushed back on the Times report Friday after the newspaper reported that he had proposed wearing a wire last year to record conversations in the Oval Office.

The Times reported that Rosenstein also discussed the possibility of Cabinet officials invoking the 25th Amendment after Trump fired James Comey as FBI director in an effort to have Trump removed from office.

1. I think this whole thing is a distraction

The one thing Trump is good at...whirling out something shiny from the White House when he wants some other story to disappear. Now, he's going to have choruses of RW nut jobs putting out this cry. Then, "mainstream journalists" will have to analyze what to do about the issue.

Maybe Rosenstein or someone else suggested wiring Trump in jest, but this is a non-story, as far as I can tell.

2. a year old story?

3. Now he has to fire Rosenstein. Laura Ingraham told him to! We need to pound that. Trump reacts

to being told what to do by doing the opposite. He'll end up pinning a medal on Rosenstein.

6. No, not till president Hannity tells him to

Trump probably has a call into his boss asking what he should do.

4. The Washington Post says this story is bogus

I don't have the original link yet, but this was pointed out by the Palmer Report, which was also very suspicious of the original NYT story.

5. After that Heil Hitler salute at the RNC, why does she still have a job?
