Is This Trump Official Undermining the Presidency?
A report has accused Rosenstein of fomenting a rebellion against Trump from within the administration. The New York Times reports:
WASHINGTON — The deputy attorney general, Rod J. Rosenstein, suggested last year that he secretly record President Trump in the White House to expose the chaos consuming the administration, and he discussed recruiting cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Mr. Trump from office for being unfit.
Mr. Rosenstein made these suggestions in the spring of 2017 when Mr. Trump’s firing of James B. Comey as F.B.I. director plunged the White House into turmoil. Over the ensuing days, the president divulgedclassified intelligence to Russians in the Oval Office, and revelations emerged that Mr. Trump had asked Mr. Comey to pledge loyalty and end an investigation into a senior aide.
AdvertisementMr. Rosenstein was just two weeks into his job. He had begun overseeing the Russia investigation and played a key role in the president’s dismissal of Mr. Comey by writing a memo critical of his handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation. But Mr. Rosenstein was caught off guard when Mr. Trump cited the memo in the firing, and he began telling people that hefeared he had been used.
Mr. Rosenstein made the remarks about secretly recording Mr. Trump and about the 25th Amendment in meetings and conversations with other Justice Department and F.B.I. officials. Several people described the episodes, insisting on anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. The people were briefed either on the events themselves or on memos written by F.B.I. officials, including Andrew G. McCabe, then the acting bureau director, that documented Mr. Rosenstein’s actions and comments.
Is this a case of Fake News or is there a wide conspiracy against the President?

About The Author
Makes perfect sense. He’s been a part of the soft coup & signed at least 1 FISA renewal warrant. He’s a dirty rotten piece of corrupt garbage. Time for him to be fired, no benefits and no retirement. He’s a slithering snake in the grass and deserves nothing short of a public hanging to set an example for the next traitirs that try & attempt interference in a Presidential election!
you are correct
If President Trump fires him, he is playing into the DSA Party’s hands. I thought the same as you, and I want the entire bunch hanging from the rafters, but after listening to Mark Levin last night, this is exactly what the Deep State wants, President Trump to fire ‘Rosenstein, this is obvious when you stop to think about why, why now, is this coming up before the Mid Terms? President Trump would be best to wait until after the Mid Term elections to act on ousting these traitors. This is what the DSA Party wants, they have a plan, and I do believe that our President is a genius. Like a cat stalking his prey, he is waiting for the right moment to pounce and take down the evil that took over this country for decades.
Sounds like a deep-laid plot to remove the President. Is this not treason?

Ruth Anderson No it would not be treason,the word would be Sedition,treason only occurs in war time as I understand it,but I think sedition fits perfectly,sedition means to incite people to rebell against the authority of a state or monarch of which there is many in the democratic party who are showing themselves guilty of.
Hey Jim, as a Veteran of the USAF anyone at DOJ or FBI that refuses to follow a direct order from the President should be terminated immediately. If they are involved in any plot to undermine the President they should be prosecuted to the full extend of the law.
Also as a retired military member serving 24 years on active duty I so agree with you and don’t understand why this is not happening.
Justice confirmation and Mid-term elections first, then repercussions for rules and law violations.
You speak with forked tongue?
There has been an effort to sabotage President Trump before he took office. It has been organized by Democrats and Rhinos. John Mc Cain the ring leader of the Rhinos – thank God for taking care of that problem. The people of Arizona wouldn’t . I feel sorry for President Trump and his family they have taken more abuse than any other President
The good people of Arizona did but there is also corrupted elections using fraudulent voting tactics done by RINOs as well, and this was a case of that in the last election that RINO won in Arizona. For the record, it is about a 90% Democratic to 10% RINO problem, and I hope these midterm elections bring out enough voter fraud to reinstate the presidential commission into these matters, and enough pressures placed on ALL the states to comply with the investigation into the corruption of of our election processes.
OF COURSE IT IS!!! But face it, the Deep State has been committing TREASON putting our citizens at risk since BO took over! Uranium One Deal, selling 20% of our Uranium to PUTIN! Described by a CIA OFFICER and WHISTLEBLOWER as the biggest counterterrorism deal in American History! SILENCE FROM THE DEEP STATE, while Killary along with the Directors of the highest law enforcement agencies in the world looked away, and protected this “Spawn of Satan” along with the Marxist Media. Receiving 145 million for the sale, having the money laundered globally so Congressional Subpoenas, FOIA and U.S. Laws couldn’t trace it back to her, then the money was neatly deposited into the Clinton Foundation. Then there was BENGHAZI, lie after endless lie to protect Killary, then Secretary of State, and BO, the Muslim/Arab/African/Communist/Manchurian candidate! As we all know, this was not about a movie at all, and in saying this, these two horrific demon possessed subhumans put the life of a Coptic Christian in grave danger by announcing to the world that he made a movie slandering the “PROPHET” that enraged the SAVAGES into butchering our Ambassador, attacking the U.S. Embassy in Libya, and killing 3 other American Patriots. A lot more, hundreds, would have been slain had the two former Navy Seals, now Contractors, rushed right into the battle scene ignoring the STAND DOWN orders from the Regime, and fought of the savages for 7 hours, calling for back up that was ready, and wanted to fly into save them, but they received a “Stand Down” order. Now who do you suppose was telling the U.S. military to let these heroes of the Americans in the Embassy who were able to escape to STAND DOWN?
Bottom line, PURE TREASON AGAINST AMERICA. BO and Killary were supplying the enemy with weapons! They lied, got by with it, and then, from what Jennifer Griffin told Greta Sustern, made clear to every, single, Media Outlet to NOT REPORT ON BENGHAZI!!! Jennifer Griffin and Fox were the only news that reported on this horrific event, another Sept. 9/11, on that day as well, threatening her if she continued.
Does anyone who is an American Citizen, a fan of the Republic, a Capitalistic Society founded UNDER GOD Free of oppression and the greatest document written, and barely changed since the beginning, the Constitution, just how irate millions of Americas are with the Marxist Media, the Democratic Socialist of America, the idiots who continue to vote D just because they always have voted D but now the D stands for DEVIL. Then, the party of pedophilia, sexual assaults, sexual rapes, deviance, immorality, is questioning one of the most upstanding, and impeccable personalities to ever be a Supreme Court Justice and ruining this man’s reputation. Taking the word of a woman, clearly a leftist loon who sported a “pink vagina” hat in protest for some liberal cause, who doesn’t even know the day it happened, can’t recall who was at the part, can’t identify the man who pulled her attacker off of her, who was at a party, wearing a bikini drinking her brains out, illegal in itself, when she was a teen? While over 65 women, including women Brett Kavanaugh dated, and others have come forth to say he was one of the most respectful gentlemen they ever knew, just to get Brett Kavanaugh voted down. Trust me, God has a way of paying back those who are evil, and paid off to go along with the evil, and it will happen. She is already scared to death because she had no clue this would create such a scandal that she has no way to prove. If she really had this happen to her, she would be HAPPY to get in front of the world and tell them what Kavanaugh did to her. Many of us who have been attacked when we were young remember nearly every detail of that attack, it is imprinted in our minds forever, and not something we care to discuss, but it is there, and if anyone has been attacked as a teen, you never forget it, it doesn’t conveniently raise its ugly head 30 years later to destroy a man’s reputation because they want a Communist judge on the Supreme Court. Confirm Kavanaugh, enough is enough, he has earned his place on the U.S. Supreme Court.
The so-called “deep state” has been an ongoing curse since the inception of these United States of America; in fact, it is all a part and parcel of a problem began by Lucifer in The Garden of Eden- a very long and brutal war against the just and rightful rule of God Almighty, the LORD of Hosts.
A big Amen to your post., Wake up America and Republican Politicians, do your job now and Real Americans Vote out the Scoundrels in office now. George Soros and sons need
neutering, so they can’t operate in politics!
…….YES!!!,…YES!!!!,…..YES!!!,…..Why the Anti America SOB still working in our Representative Government, after trying to Undermine a Legal Presidential Candidate?, is Perplexing to me and 200 Million Americans!!,…..That RAT should have been Fired way long ago!!,…Where the Hell is the AG!!??,…..
I’ve been waiting so long for ALL Republicans in Congress to Wake Up, I have Cobwebs attached, all over.
I’m beginning to think it might very well be hopeless.
Bug-eyed Rosenstein should have been fired about 18 months ago, then prosecuted. He and his cohort-minions are attempting to overthrow the American government.
Does any one doubt what Rosesteins attitude toward Trump is? He must have something against Mr Sessions or he would have been fired many months ago when the FISA fiasco got exposed. Rosensteins actions have been to unseat Trump from day one, any way he could, and he is defiantly a part of the deep state. He also has dirty hand from the Uranium deal, as well as others along with Mueller, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, the Clintons and Oblaimer et al. But do you think there will be an investigation of the cesspool that has been exposed in the FBI, the DOJ or any other bureaucrat? Not in my life time. And those who call this a soft coup are mindless at this point, it is Massive Conspiracy to Unseat a President of this country because of Political differences.
FIRE rosenstain and take away all benefits an security clearences he might have an seize his files and computer, an all get gets are what is in his desk drawer,
I’m always wondering why we have to fund large retirements for such as this. Perfidy should be a reason to relinquish one’s financial requirements on the government. Why do we still reward them when there are thousands of Social Security recipients needing THEIR raises.
He should have been fired two years ago! Same time Comey was fired! He is a back stabbing little corrupt weasel! He should be stripped of all clearances and literally THROW out of that building! This is BS!!
For years Rosenstein’s wife, Lisa Barsoomian, has specialized in opposing Freedom of Information Act requests on behalf of the intelligence community and was /is the FOIA lawyer for Hillary Clinton, Obama, Mueller, DNC and we wonder?
President Trump has been attack from all sides and all angles!! The fact that he is still in office is a testament to his resiliency!!! He is a tough cookie and will not wilt under the pressure that he’s under!!!
Unfortunately for President Trump, therefore also the rest of us, the top layer of the DOJ has the weakest leadership of all the Trump administration departments.
Deputy Attorney General happens to be, in reality, THE Attorney General. The original Attorney General, though he had a fairly successful senatorial career, is weak, feckless, appears to be in a permanent state of shock in matters of state. President Trump needs to replace both of them, in one fell swoop. Rosenstein’s trustworthiness is very questionable, Sessions is an example of the “Peter Principle” in having been promoted out of his abilities to conduct the DOJ. As a U.S. Senator, he was counted as one of the Senators, it was simple enough for him to become lost in a crowd, and could avoid major decisions until learning how the majority of Republican Senators were voting. He was a “artful dodger” until exposed to real authority.
If there had been no such thing as “recusal,” Sessions’ status now would not even be an Attorney General if he really had to face issues confronting Attorney Generals. In his Senate career, he was quiet and likeable, and had little to do with heavy decisions. As for Rosenstein, he’s an opportunist and will take sides based on opportunities offered. I repeat, both should be gone, they can surely be replaced by an Attorney General qualified for the job, and a Deputy A.G. likewise.
Send Rod Rosenstein to Prison for High Treason along with all that helped him.
If Rosenstein is not trying to get rid of Trump then why did he appoint Mueller to investigate collusion with Russia when the FBI had already said there was no collusion
Enough BS drain the swamp NOW!!
We know there is a conspiracy to get President Trump out of his rightfully elected office since the day he was elected by American Patriotic Citizens who want God, Country, Constitution, and Family back into Congress and the Deep State out! They plot, plan, scandal after endless scandal, and through it all, President Trump has succeeded in every, item on his list to repair the cesspool the BO REGIME made of this great country. We would not have a U.S. of America had the “Silent Majority” not rebelled and elected President Trump against the most evil, corrupt, Demonic Possessed insane woman in the history of American Politics. Even with a new scandal, nearly every other month, President Trump has proven to be a “LEADER OF THE PEOPLE!” and he isn’t going anywhere. The Deep State are showing their horns, and the Army of God is ready for a fight that will send them back to where they came from, HELL!
Yes, he’s an Obama left over to be a treasonous traitor toPresident Trump. Trump should have terminated immediately.
There is not a shadow of a doubt and so is Sessions with his gutlessness.
Yes, Mr Rpsenstein is part of the “soft coup” and his actions with the Uranium deal ties him to all the deep state parties that have been exposed so far.
IMO Trump did not just fall off a turnip truck. I doubt Trump ‘used’ him and instead out maneuvered him? And he responded in an unscrupulous manner? To undermine Trump. Govt by nature is a political jungle? As HST said if you can’t stand the heat in the kitchen, stay out.
