Why it’s Far Worse for Trump to Fire Rosenstein than to Fire Mueller

Yup.

Today’s news is especially threatening to Rosenstein’s survival, and many Republicans who call firing Mueller a red line will find all manner of reason to go along with a Rosenstein replacement who decides that this matter is effectively concluded.

If Assad is trying to crush the rebels and bring this civil war to a close, it seems all of these atrocities make sense from his perspective.

not really. The rebels are done....Russia and Assad have made sure of that. The only possible outcome Assad sows from dropping chemical bombs on his own people is to stir up the opposition....its propaganda gold, and a very real incentive for the American public to get behind an increase in US actions in Syria.

Militarily it makes no sense....in fact, the only faction that really benefits from it is the US.
If the rebels are done, then why are Syrian forces still fighting them? They pounded Ghoutta just because?

How does getting further involved militarily benefit the US?

Serious question: what are you reading/listening to?

Zuck seems socially awkward and like he's trying to avoid answering anything that might tip his competitors off to Facebook IP. But he also seems like he appreciates the gravity of the situation and his role within it. Losing $6B in a couple days will do that, I imagine.

All these geezers looking confused and asking only the dumbest possible tech questions, in-between crazy rants about fast food chicken and ‘merica, is exactly what I assume Facebook is like.

so much excitement on these last few pages, like the libs want a real world war

standard playbook is to launch a few cruise missiles at a largely defenseless country, in this case, Syria; to distract from the drama at home

then after that point potentially escalate more, but you keep it low-intensity

there won’t be all out war with Iran because they have a massive, reasonably well-equipped military, including some kind of nuclear capability, and economic ties to europe

This will be known as the recursive presidency in the end.

I honestly don’t know what the intention of this underbelly-showing public outreach could be, except to signal a willingness to accept a deal. Especially with Trump meeting multiple lawyers but no Cohen for dinner tonight.

Yep, he wants a deal. What other lawyers is he meeting with besides Dershowitz?

Others like Sekolow who’ve either been working for him in a side role, or in an unofficial capacity. Individually they wouldn’t stand out, but at an all-lawyer meeting with the Dersch and no Cohen....

I just can’t imagine how we go much longer without a firing of one kind or another.

Friday night, tops. It'll be Rosenstein rather than Mueller, and he'll try to install Pruitt as the acting AG, who will derail the Mueller investigation to the best of his ability. But it may already be too late -- lots of charges already filed, lots of document requests already in the pipeline.

Rosenstein and Guildenstern are dead.
