Thread: Paul Manafort, Rick Gates indicted by federal grand jury in Russia probe

Saw an interview with rod rosenstein a few months ago and he stated mueller would not be allowed to probe into anything beyond a connection between trump and russian influencing of the election. And he assured he would be in control to not allow that. And he seemed to be lying and sure enough he was. When Jeff Sessions took over AG office, he ordered rosenstein fired along with several other obamaites and Trump said no. rosenstein appointed meuller.

This announcement of arresting Manafort has nothing to do with meddling in the election by the Russians. This is above and beyond what mueller is allowed to do in this special probe. There is a word for this but it escapes me now - similar to irs not being able to probe another person that is mentioned in an audit they are doing on one person. They can't connect and audit the 3rd party.

Where is that little creep rosenstein now - "Oh, I will make sure that bob does not go out of his bounds in this investigation".

Wow, are you serious? I did not know that. Must not have received much media attention.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions told the White House he might resign if President Trump fires the deputy attorney general overseeing the investigation into Russian election meddling, according to The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal, each citing unnamed sources.

Sessions told White House counsel Donald McGahn in a phone call last weekend that he would consider quitting if Trump fired Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, the Post reported. At the time, Sessions was concerned Trump was close to dismissing Rosenstein because the president was furious about the FBI raid on the office of his personal attorney, Michael Cohen.

According to media reports, Trump discussed the possibility of firing Rosenstein with senior administration officials because Rosenstein approved the April 9 raids.

Sessions did not mean to raise the possibility of his resignation as a threat, but "rather wanted to convey the untenable position that Rosenstein’s firing would put him in," a source told the Post.

Trump has sharply criticized his attorney general over Sessions' decision in March 2017 to recuse himself from the Russia investigation. Rosenstein then took over the investigation and appointed special counsel Robert Mueller.
