Sessions' resignation was clearly planned before the election. Who's to say Rosenstein's upcoming resignation wasn't planned as well?

Or if the FISA docs / other IG investigation shows that Rosenstein's actions provided cause for firing...
I bet he's ready to replace him with someone a little more...intelligent...and possibly a bit more moderate. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't start stacking his administration with less-right leaning folks and more who are trending toward the middle, at least where it matters.

LMAO!!!!!! He saw all the states legalizing Marijuana and his little head exploded.
Couldn't handle it, had to dip out
In August 2016, Matthew Whitaker, the new interim U.S. Attorney for the United States who has replaced feckless and fired Jeff Sessions, told SiriusXM host Matt Boyle of Breitbart News Daily that he has always believed “this pay-to-play, Clinton Foundation, State Department situation is much more serious” than the original Clinton email scandal.
“James Comey, the director of the FBI, stood up and talked about the emails, and the emailing of classified information. That was serious, but the real ballgame is the situation you’re describing, and that is where Clinton Foundation donors were given preferential treatment,” Whitaker told Boyle. He added:
It’s very interesting to watch the Clinton camp try to explain away these meetings. But, like you said, 50 percent of the meetings she took with people that were not essentially employees or representatives of countries or the like, just sort of individuals that wanted to meet with the Secretary of State, 50 percent of those – as the AP has reported, more than 50 percent – were Clinton Foundation donors.
"It is not possible for them to explain away that Clinton Foundation donors were given preferential treatment when it came to seeing the Secretary of State. It’s just the way business was done,” Whitaker declared, continuing:
The frustrating thing for me continues to be, she had the private email server to avoid public disclosure of her emails. She didn’t turn over any emails until two years after she was supposed to, in 2012, from the illegal server. And yet, we are now almost four years since she finished serving, and we’re still gonna see another 15,000 – what the State Department is calling “documents,” and that’s a very interesting term to me, so I think there’s more to it than just the emails."

I wish some ground breaking moves would be made but I highly doubt it
I'm currently totally off the Trump train he's more of the same at this point unless something groundbreaking happens

Its win win.
Less money on the failed war on drugs.
Less money on prisons, and more resources to get real criminals.
Increased tax revenue.
It's being bought either way, question is do we want a slice of the pie?

Called it. Expect a Trump loyalist to be given the position. Now we'll have to wait and see what happens with Rosenstein.
Doesn't matter - the new guy is not recused from any Russian probe, so can assume the reigns of the SC and ensure Mueller's scope is narrow, as it should be.
The fact Rosenstein was not elevated to acting AG tells you he is toast.
Gloves are off.
Next I want to see Hillary, Rice, Lynch, Brennan, Holder, Strzok, Comey, Page...and Obama indicted for conspiring with foreign powers to undermine the US election.

Meaningless, the house won't get far.
Secondly, desperation in only the eyes of the ignorant, with the dim threat of pushing for investigation, he'll need an active AG who'll determine that ☺️

Because the house can rehire Mueller in January.

I wouldn't mind Lindsey Graham. He's been on fire as of late. Oh, and guess what. Nikki Haley is available to take his spot
Funny how it's so easy for rhinos to be forgiven so long as they kiss Trump's boots.
Almost like how Trump is a revered christian. That one will never stop me from waking up randomly and giggling.

Some are thinking that it's to replace him with a "loyalist" to him--I think that it's in preparation to appear more willing to work with Democrats.
