Rosenstein to travel with Trump on Air Force One

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is set to travel aboard Air Force One with President Trump on Monday.

Rosenstein planned to travel with the president on his visit to the annual conference fo the International Association of Chiefs of Police in Orlando.

An official with the Justice Department confirmed to The Hill that the deputy attorney general would join the president on Air Force One. The New York Times first reported the development.

The move comes nearly two weeks after the two were first scheduled to meet following a New York Times report that Rosenstein had proposed secretly recording conversations with Trump and discussed the possibility of administration officials invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from office shortly after former FBI Director James Comey was fired in 2017.

There was widespread speculation that Rosenstein would either resign or be fired following The Times report.

Trump postponed a scheduled meeting until after then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation process concluded. Kavanaugh was confirmed on Saturday in a 50-48 vote.

Rosenstein told senior White House officials that he wished to resign in the days after the report surfaced, according to the Times. But his offer came as Kavanaugh's confirmation process became contentious, which led to a meeting between Trump and Rosenstein being postponed.

Trump has since stated that he’s willing to keep Rosenstein at the Justice Department, where he oversees special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian election interference.

“Many people said I had the right to absolutely fire him. He said he did not say it. He said he does not believe that. And nobody in this room believes it, by the way,” Trump told reporters at the United Nations earlier this month, before saying that he preferred to keep Rosenstein in his role.

Rosenstein immediately pushed back following the initial report by the Times, calling it “inaccurate” and “factually incorrect.”

"I never pursued or authorized recording the President and any suggestion that I have ever advocated for the removal of the President is absolutely false," Rosenstein said in a statement.

Rosenstein better watch his back on the flight (starts @ 0:37). :D*


*Trigger warning. This is just a joke.
 
How do you blame Bush for that?
The repeal of Glass steagall was a bi partisan effort lead by the Clinton cabinet.

The mortgage standards were watered down by Barney Frank, Dodd and friends in Congress.
The Federal Reserve denied a bubble and kept interest rates low and allowed loan standards to loosen.

Wall street was selling seconds as if they were smart money.
Then the FED pretty much guaranteed the investment by china into a 1.5 trillion dollar pool of crappy seconds. (allowing china to continue their peg.)

Bush had very little to do with that... although he was not a good president in my book.

It took quite a few years for George W. Bush to seriously damage the US in a manner the populace could relate to. The fact that the economic collapse was fairly recent ( 2008/2009 ) and many Americans have forgotten what occurred is amazing.

George W. Bush oversaw your country for 8 years as this all developed. He persuaded you to invade Iraq, refused to properly monitor Wall Street, let you walk into a financial disaster without a clue until it was far too late. 90% of what you guys complain about concerning Obama is a Bush induced mess he inherited. When it comes to large, systematic screw ups in government or corporations, the head guy is ultimately responsible.
 
I agree about Iraq because that war was prosecuted very poorly. Almost like it was designed to fail after the shooting war ended. Bush deserves that blame.

But he was not the head guy for the mortgage crisis.

The head guy would be the bankers on Wall Street who to ordered their figurehead Fed Chairman to tell Congress we were not in a bubble and therefore they could have keep pushing no income no docs seconds at low rates to people who were not even making any money and Congress was like... good idea. Lend more to people who have almost no income.


Obama did inherit a mess. But he did not help things once he ended the payroll tax break and let Bush's tax breaks sunset and then destroyed us with obamacare costs and taxes.
