FWIW, especially since the leakers to the NYTimes might be pro-Trump:

Trump’and the Republicans are losing on tax cuts and attempted rape. The Deep State is the only winning strategy that they have. The story about Rosenstein doesn’t have to be true. It just needs to create a diversion.

Every Tom Dick & Harry is categorizing Rosenstein's denial as weak; examples:

And who except the true believer inner circle or partially braindead has not had a discussion or 300 of hust how batshit insane Trump is and whether there's an easy way to remove him. These are even reality shows and video games.

I agree with Josh Marshall:

ABC News also got leaks about the same and the NYTimes story author Adam Goldman tweeted their story this afternoon:
I also noted that Maggie Haberman broke her own rule again about not getting into Twitter discussion with repliers in order to defend Adam Goldman about this story:
Haberman also retweeted this:
and took the time to point this Omarosa comparison to Toronto Star reporter Daniel Dale:

FROM THE THREAD, IT'S A FAILED LIBERAL COUP, AND IT'S ON TWITTER SO MUST BE TRUE:
TRUMP needs to purge the FBI, militarize law enforcement and the justice system suspend habeas corpus !!!

OIC. You inspired me so I tried it the old fashioned way, I googled the news for coup d'etat. From The Washington Examiner (where Democracy Really Wants to Die) Op-Ed/Threat Assessment Section, Sept. 7
Do check out the author's bio! Todd makes Rambo look like a girly man.

Whose side is this guy on ....or, like most seditious Republicans, ju$t hi$ own personal side?
by NCD on Fri, 09/21/2018 - 8:58pm
He pretty much has everybody of the last 50 yrs. in on the plot against Trump, so no problemo to throw in China and Russia too?
ju$t hi$ own personal side?

This is so offensive. It really pisses me off. This group of pics with Obama first and Hillary second. Everyone know Hillary was in charge of the deep state conspiracy and Obama was just her main general. It insults our intelligence to imply Hillary wasn't in charge.

Trump tells tonight's rally crowd in Springfield (does he ever stay home at night anymore?) he's going to get rid of the lingering stench:
Of course, as I've been pointing out on another current thread, he always lies to his fans (or actor fans, as the case may be)

Me? It's a preamble to fire Rosenstein. The memos, etc. were fed to the Times, whose reporters did what reporters do and followed up with reports from unidentified people who heard this and that and now we have a blockbuster of nothing. Except that now Trump has a "verified" reason to fire him.
He's also been recently making a point that his issues with Sessions aren't just about his recusal from the Russia probe, oh no. He has lots of problems with Jeff, including immigration. Another preamble to deflect obvious pushback when the firing happens right after the midterms.
by barefooted on Fri, 09/21/2018 - 8:52pm
Oh yes, Sessions...beyond the reported complaints about accent and non-elite law degree, it was intriguing that Politico in August had this story from Congressional aides that he was plotting with Graham and Grassley about firing him right away and Graham wanted him to wait until after the Nov. elections. Now the question to me is how did the reporter know about that phone call between Graham and Trump? Was the "congressional aide" source fired for saying that, or was he told to say that to the reporter by his boss Senator Graham? As always, the mind reels with these anonymice motives.
