That is weird. Trump doesn't fire people face to face. He does it on twitter. They're scheduling this to get the TV coverage off Ford's testifying I'd assume.
It's almost October, we're facing the most important Mid-terms in our lifetimes, the president is supporting another sexual abuser/harasser and he's working on firing another person on his enemies list. One would think that the Democrat party would be crushing all this news and firing up the 60% of the nation that's not digging the direction in which we're headed but no...that'd be wrong. The dems are still plodding along, rudderless with no clear unifying message. We should hire Karl Rove to teach us how to campaign. SMH

At the beginning of one of the most consequential weeks of Donald Trump’s presidency, an enormous smoke bomb was detonated in the news cycle when Axios, deeply wired in Trump’s West Wing, reported that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had resigned. Quickly, a head-spinning array of conflicting accounts were put forth: had he been fired? Was he heading to the White House to be fired—or was he going to a regularly scheduled meeting? Finally, Sarah Huckabee Sanders brought a measure of clarity by tweeting that whatever was going to happen to Rosenstein would happen on Thursday, when the president returned from New York.
For all the morning’s madness, there may have been an underlying logic. Over the weekend, as Brett Kavanaugh’s prospects appeared increasingly imperiled, Trump faced two tactical options, both of them fraught. One was to cut Kavanaugh loose. But he was also looking for ways to dramatically shift the news cycle away from his embattled Supreme Court nominee. According to a source briefed on Trump’s thinking, Trump decided that firing Rosenstein would knock Kavanaugh out of the news, potentially saving his nomination and Republicans’ chances for keeping the Senate. “The strategy was to try and do something really big,” the source said. The leak about Rosenstein’s resignation could have been the result, and it certainly had the desired effect of driving Kavanaugh out of the news for a few hours.
Vanity Fair reporting that today's news, and the NYT leak about Rosenstein, was all a WH orchestrated "smoke bomb" to distract from the Kavanaugh sexual predator reports.

Rumors are swirling that Rosenstein is prepared to resign before Trump can fire him.
So who is crying the most about this; cwolff, time4fun, or pk?
