The current state of reporting on the situation right now is a mess. It's Shrodinger's cat: politics edition.

This feels like a situation where a group of people went out proactively to the press to try to cover this whole thing in confusion- which makes me suspect that Rosenstein is actually being fired. But who knows?

Thats good news. What an obvious sign that we elected a shitty president when the whole world speculates about this stuff.

Oh wait, i just saw a report that Rosenstein is heading to the white house so hes safe. Trump only fires people on Twitter.

Sounds like the WH wants it to seem like he resigned so they can make use of the vacancy act.

Regardless-

So, you were wrong. And stupid.

Rosenstein resigning or being fired is a very bad day for our democracy.

Jesus. Please get your med levels checked.

Corrected for absolute accuracy.

So Trumps on vacation. That kills my theory that he'd never fire him face to face. I can't imagine any world where Rosenstein resigns on his own.

It's a sad sad state of affairs that our country is in this crisis. All because republicans assigned a republican to be a special counsel. Now those republicans have flip flopped.

It's a sad sad state of affairs that our country is in this crisis. All because democrats are still butthurt over Hillary losing.

This is correct.

New White House statement- Rosenstein isn't out exactly, but he's meeting with Trump this coming Thursday.

No real word on what the expected outcome is.

The timing- Thursday- is also a bit suspect
