Schumer threatens Trump over firing Rosenstein

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer flared his enormous nostrils and warned President Trump that just because Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein suggested wearing a wiretap in order to record the president to secure an impeachment, is no reason to fire him. If Trump dares to do that, there will be hell to pay.

"This New York Times report must not be used as a pretext for the corrupt purpose of firing Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein in order to install an official who will allow the president to interfere with the Special Counsel's investigation," Schumer tweeted.

Schumer also alleged that other Trump administration officials have supposedly said negative things about him, but they weren't fired.

Perhaps that is because Trump didn't believe they actually did and that the reports about the allegations were fake news.

"Generals Kelly, Mattis and numerous other White House and cabinet officials have been reported to say critical things of the president without being fired," Schumer added.

But saying critical things about Trump is not the same as threatening to undermine him by wearing a wire.

Schumer's tweets come amid a New York Times article claiming the pencil-neck Deputy AG suggested secretly recording the president's conversations with officials at the DOJ and FBI after former FBI Director James Comey was fired.

If The Times report turns out to be fake news, it will be the first time in recorded history of the Trump administration that a mistake was made in favor of the president.

After Rosenstein was caught, he said he was only kidding, of course.

The blockbuster report also said that Rosenstein talked about invoking the 25th Amendment with Cabinet members to remove Trump from office based on his being unfit for duty. But of course, Rod was just joshing.

Rosenstein denied the accuracy of The Times report, describing it as "inaccurate and factually incorrect" and suddenly the "Gray Lady" had become a lying old whore.

"I will not further comment on a story based on anonymous sources who are obviously biased against the department and are advancing their own personal agenda," he wrote in a statement to Fox News. "But let me be clear about this: Based on my personal dealings with the president, there is no basis to invoke the 25th Amendment."

He said in another statement: "I never pursued or authorized recording the president, and any suggestion that I have ever advocated for the removal of the president is absolutely false,"

Good save, Rod.

So we can now assume that everything The New York Times reports should be considered fake news. Yet somehow I don't believe the left will agree with me when it goes against the GOP.

Do you believe Rosenstein? Feel free to comment.
