Probably stay republican with the chief Justice Roberts as the judge, win it there and declare a victory. And thats what he should do. Well, we have to remember bill clinton was impeached but stayed in office. So it doesnt necessarily mean it would be the end of his precedency. Takes a two thirds vote, remember. So, jack, would firing him get the president his ability to control the Special Counsel investigation. That would be the only reason of getting rid of rosenstein. I think itll be exceedingly difficult. I cant imagine someone will come in and sit in rosensteins place and try to babysit him and redirect of the course of the investigation. Thats just not going to happen. I totally agree with everything bob said, by the way. And i think if he tries to replace rosenstein, if he tries

The days top stories from around the world, from politics and money, to sports and pop culture. On matters that have nothing to do with the campaign. I think that even mr. Manafort as i read it had requested that there be no mention of his brief tenure at the Trump Campaign several years ago. This has nothing to do with collusion, russia, nothing to come with the Trump Campaign. Reporter the case centers around his past lobbying work for the pro Putin Ukranian government for which prosecutors say he received 60 million. The government alleges manafort hid millions and failed to pay taxes while still spending the money on real estate and luxury purchases, including homes in manhattan, virginia and the hamptons, expensive suits, and baseball tickets. And prosecutors will present hundreds of emails, photos and financial records to prove it. Prosecutors say manafort also lied to banks about his income to secure more than 20 million in loans.
