for starters Rosenstein was a participant in the firing of Comey. Some of the questions Mueller sent to Trump concerned the firing of Comey. There is no logical way the Rosensten can ethically be in running an investigation into something that he participated in.
Jeff Sessions served our nation well and honorably as Attorney General. He has dedicated his whole life to conservatism and upholding the Rule of Law.
meh - this has been telegraphed for weeks. I don't really see anything unusual here.
Considering the handful of GOP congressmen who actually have a semblance of a backbone against Trump got slaughtered last night, and the hardcore Trumpers won out (on the GOP side), I'm pretty sure the rest of the government won't do anything.
This is nonsense. Rosenstein's role was always a function of his ranking at DOJ and Session's recusal. The only thing that has changed is that a higher-ranking official hasn't (yet) been forced to recuse due to conflict of interest. If he does (and based on this Clovis stuff, that seems possible) then Rosenstein would be back in charge. Either way I don't see any reason whatsoever for him to "resign in protest." What does that even mean?

"Resigning in protest" is something that only works in a normal world, when there are checks and balances involved that could support you. It doesn't work in Trump's world.
Seriously.
Doesn’t matter unless he’s gonna do the ethical thing and recuse himself. Trump already made the mistake of assuming Sessions would be that person, I doubt he’ll appoint someone without a guarantee that he’ll protect him.
Honestly, I'd rather the Dems hire Mueller to continue his investigation, and then report back to congress, behind closed doors.
Comey and Mueller had a close working relationship, but that didn’t seem to bother you guys....
Cabinet members always resign even if they are really fired. They are told to resign by the President and do so.
Yep... it's not a coincidence. Based on his actions throughout the whole affair, it wouldn't surprise me if he testifies that he was fired.
I hear there are hundreds of photos that don't exist of them hugging and kissing. That what you mean?
Sessions is loyal to a fault. This is the "honorable" way to step down - and I think, but don't know, there might be advantages to who Trump can appoint to replace someone who resigns, versus someone who is fired.
You're badly misreading Sessions relative to the Mueller investigation IMO. If he were loyal to Trump he'd have never recused himself and would have unambiguously resigned a long time ago.
Yeah. Totally normal situation between Trump and Sessions. No unusual circumstances here.
