"Are you afraid of Donald Trump firing you?" "No, I'm not" - AG Rosenstein Bottom line: Rod Rosenstein today is resending a clear signal that if Trump decides to fire Mueller based on anything that has happened so far, Trump would have to 1st fire Rosenstein & go hunting down the DOJ hierarchy for someone willing to do it, Saturday Night Massacre style. Charlie Savage?Verified account @charlie_savage Asked if political texts/contributions of some Mueller staffers creates appearance of impropriety, Rosenstein says no violation of DOJ rules & special counsel employees subject to civil-service rule that can't take political affiliation into account for career hiring decisions.More To the extent there is any ambiguity about the scope (expansion/clarification) of Mueller's jurisdiction, Mueller has sought and obtained Rosenstein's authorization to do what he is doing, RR says.More Rosenstein said he consults regularly with Mueller and the special counsel is conducting himself consistently with his understanding of the scope of his investigation. "Have you seen good cause to fire Mr. Mueller?" Rosenstein: "No." Brad Heath?Verified account @bradheath Most important story of the day. Rosenstein standing firm.
