Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has been reported by the NY Times to have suggested wearing a wire to record President Trump. He also allegedly tried to gather support in the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment in order to remove the President for being unfit to perform his duties.
Rosenstein has called the story “factually incorrect.”
Rosenstein Suggested Secretly Recording Trump and Discussed 25th Amendment
The episode is the first known instance of a named senior administration official weighing the 25th Amendment. Unidentified others have been said to discuss it, including an unnamed senior administration official who wrote an Op-Ed for The New York Times. That person’s identity is unknown to journalists in the Times news department.
Some of the details in Mr. McCabe’s memos suggested that Mr. Rosenstein had regrets about the firing of Mr. Comey. During a May 12 meeting with Mr. McCabe, Mr. Rosenstein was upset and emotional, Mr. McCabe wrote, and said that he wished Mr. Comey were still at the F.B.I. so he could bounce ideas off him.
My Take
The implications of this are obvious. As the man who assigned Robert Mueller to be special counsel to investigate Russian meddling in the 2016 election, Trump’s supporters will call the entire process tainted. Meanwhile, Democrats will detach the two incidents, as if one was an attempt to get to the truth while the other was an individual’s desire to do what he felt was right.
While the NY Times has been accused of using too many anonymous sources to promote the leftist agenda and fake news narrative, this particular story doesn’t fit into those paradigms. As crooked as mainstream media is, they are self-serving above all else. They wouldn’t run a story like this unless they had very strong sources and reasons to believe the accuracy of the accusations.
We may never know whether or not the report is true, but one thing is certain. The President will never trust him again.
