WASHINGTON (AP) — Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is flying Monday with President Donald Trump on Air Force One to a police chiefs’ conference in Florida.

The flight provides an opportunity for their most extensive conversation since news reports last month that Rosenstein had discussed possibly secretly recording Trump to expose chaos in the White House and invoking constitutional provisions to get him removed from office.

The reports, which Rosenstein denied, fueled speculation that Rosenstein might be fired or resign. Rosenstein told officials that he would be willing to resign and met at the White House with chief of staff John Kelly during a chaotic day two weeks ago that ended with him still in his Justice Department job.

Rosenstein and Trump had been expected to meet at the White House days later, but that meeting was put off so that the president could focus on a confirmation hearing of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. It was not immediately clear if the flight would substitute for the pre-planned White House meeting.

1. Imagine the smell

from his cologne and hairspray. Hope he has a barf bag.

2. The question being ......

is Rosenstein as crooked as Graham, McConnell, etc. Is he willing to sell his soul to the devil.

[JDC]

3. He won't fire him to his face.

4. I'm still skeptical of Rosenstein.

5. The Dotard doesn't have the courage

to fire Rosenstein to his face. Dotard might make nice and fire him on twitter tomorrow, however. The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if Rosenstein didn’t take a dive on the Kav investigation in order to calm Dotard down and show his “loyalty”. It would have been easy cover since he’s an old friend of Kavanagh. I don’t know what to make of Rosenstein any more.

i wonder if trump plans to throw him off.

7. With or without parachute?

8. Not that dramatic. Fire him while they are away. Then desert him

there - and make him pay for his own way back to DC (while locking him out of the DoJ) = maximum humiliation/degradation.

9. Will Rod make it back alive?
