He'd rather fire Sessions and replace him with Lindsey Graham, Graham's sucking up to the orange a lot lately, and Attorney Generals have fairly high turnover in administrations.
Here's hoping the feeling isn't mutual.
Trumplation: It was a "terrible" meeting with Rosenstein and he has plans to fire him.
"I was going to fire him but my aides managed to get through my thick skull about how much of a bad idea that was."
Honestly what probably happened is that Rosenstein just complemented him a bunch. That seems to be all it takes to get on his good side.
Do you know what, honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Trump's stupidity and NPD is so severe that he honestly believes he hasn't broken any laws even if he did everything he is accused of.
I give him 3 days tops.
By the end of week.
That's a death glad if I've ever seen one.
He describes every meeting with someone with some power over him as "great"

Wonder if trumpo will feel more embroiled with kav getting his seat.
Weren't there discussions a couple of weeks ago about Rosenstein saying that he's going to resign? What happened with that?
That turned out to be a load of rubbish someone spewed out, in order to confuse people or something. He never said anything like that.
With Kavanaugh on the court, Mueller's investigation is already functionally neutered, and Trump is virtually untouchable under US law, which is to say nothing whatsoever of the fact that belief in the integrity of the investigation has been effectively undermined by GOP propaganda and state media.
The FBI moved too slowly. Mueller has already failed. Trump will be in office through 2020, during which time he will most likely replace Justice Ginsberg with another amoral. power-hungry sycophant, at which point our democracy will be so fundamentally broken that it simply won't be possible to have faith in US elections any longer.
So when is it time to take to the streets then? I mean, the link with all the information on what to do if Rosenstein got fired is now void as they can just let the Mueller probe continue without any worries.
Months ago? Two years ago? The danger of what's happened her is that there was no singular event leading to the death of our democracy. There are key moments that signaled major shifts, but with each new injustice public outrage spiked, and ultimately settled. Firing Comey for should have resulted in Trump being removed from office. Trump systematically firing or forcing out every witness to his firing of Comey should have resulted in him being removed from office. Trump's attacks on the investigation and our free press should have resulted in him being removed from office. Trump using his office to enrich his businesses and himself should have resulted in him being removed from office. Trump's treasonous comments in Helsinki should have resulted in him being removed from office. Trump nominating a judge for the SCOTUS for his belief that presidents have full dictatorial authority over federal law enforcement should have resulted in him being removed from office.
There isn't one event that should have triggered sustained upheaval and massive public and political outcry for Trump's removal: there are dozens. They didn't happen. It's appearing more and more as if they won't happen, but in the event that they do, Trump, the GOP, and Fox News have recently begun laying the groundwork for turning the might of the state against their political opposition, saying that Democrats are a violent mob, too dangerous to rule, etc.
I'll be voting. Everybody should be voting. But, frankly, my faith in the future of our nation is broken. Our democracy has already fallen.
There's at least one upside.
Trump can deflect, manipulate, stack the deck in his favor as much as he wants.
He's still a historically unpopular president. No matter how much power he gets, he can't make people like him.
I mean, ultimately, Trump is irrelevant. He's a symptom, not the disease. Even if Trump keeled over dead tomorrow, we'd still be in exactly the same boat. Trump is too narcissistic, ignorant, belligerent, and (most all) too fucking stupid to be any real threat on his own. The danger of Trump is the lesson he taught to the GOP: the twenty years of targeted propaganda, paranoia, isolation, and outrage they directed at right wing voters through Fox News had been successful. How vile, destructive, corrupt, and foul they are no longer matters to a large enough section of the electorate that can get away with literally anything. They openly supported a fucking child molester for a seat on the US Senate -- and though he lost, it was a narrow one, and ultimately had no real impact on the favorability of the scumbags who backed him.
Worse than them learning they can be disgusting human beings, the GOP learned that they can not only get away with "playing dirty," they can get away with outright cheating -- that not even usurping our democracy and undermining our nation's sovereignty in a coordinated attack on our own nation with a hostile foreign aggressor was shockingly evil enough to open their voters' eyes.
Trump needs to go, but more than that, the entire Republican Congress needs to go -- down to the last fuckin' man.
