Rod Rosentein & Donald Trump Have “A Very Good Talk”

Talk about a strange relationship. Just a couple of weeks ago Axios reported, “Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has verbally resigned to Chief of Staff John Kelly in anticipation of being fired by President Trump.” What happened after that is still in question. The White House later said Rosenstein was still on the job, but that Trump would meet him in the coming week. That week came and went as the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation took priority in Trump world. So until today, it appeared Rosenstein’s fate was in limbo. Because of this, it came as a surprise when press crews saw Rosenstein boarding Air Force One with Trump this morning, heading for an event in Florida.

While Rosenstein still has a job, some political analysts say Trump may just be waiting until after the election to take action. The Washington Post recently reported:

While it remained possible that Rosenstein could still resign or be fired imminently, people inside and outside the department said it seemed increasingly more likely that Rosenstein would stay in the job until after November’s elections and then depart, probably along with the attorney general. Two White House officials said Tuesday that Trump is unlikely to fire Rosenstein until after the midterms.

Beyond the bizarre back and forth with whether his job is safe or not, this “meeting” today has people talking for other reasons as well?
