The reason you normally see people in politics resign in these situations rather than stick to their guns and let the higher ups go through with the firing process is because normally they want to avoid the public backlash from outright firing someone by any means possible. The voluntary resignation is essentially a firing, they technically still do have a say, they can go "screw your recommendation I'm staying on so you'll need to fire me you want me out" and while the powers that be could do that they wont, they'll just make the politicians life a living hell, or use other means to force the resignation out of them, some of those means can be life ruining, or if this administration is balls to the walls crazy enough life ending (highly unlikely we aren't Russia just yet.)
But yeah a voluntary resignation in politics is about as voluntary as showing up for work.
Oh my god, this screams “Watergate, but Retarded”.
Im dying holy shit
I'm fairly certain Trump's been bellowing that through a megaphone for like the last two years.
It should be pointed out: normally when an AG is fired/resigns he's replaced by the deputy AG, that's kind of the point of the position of deputy AG in the first place. Trump deliberately bypassed Rosenstein.
It may actually be illegal to get Whittaker as he previously wasn't confirmed by the Senate

Saturday Night Massacre but with endless recusals instead of firings
Boy, I sure wasn't expecting Trump to incriminate himself further this soon after the midterms. Thanks, Trump?
John Oliver dubbed it stupid Watergate earlier, and it just seems more true by the day
Oh fuck January please come immediately
Literally, Doltgate. Its so stupid it can't even open its self.
god I hope this ends with the orangutang having a heart attack from all the panic
The New Deal was so long ago that it's batshit to even use it as a basis of any argument these days.

MY GOD NO
We live in a society.
I will be very mad if Rosenstein is fire, not just because of the dramatic and insane crisis it immediately puts the entire Republic in which we have never seen the likes of but also because it's damn cold up here in Ohio and I don't appreciate being forced to protest in the god damn cold.
He's against the courts, he literally thinks all courts, even SCOTUS, should be inferior to the Executive and Legislative branches.
To be fair, who wasn't playing slither.io and agar.io at that time?
This clip, but Mikey Blumberg is the Mueller investigation, the henchmen are Trump's AG appointees, and the pit is an unexpected recusal

Get ready for it to get coopted by the alt-right to "trigger the libs"
I'm guessing this is what they had planned and ready to go from the start, but were waiting until the midterms. If the GOP retained control then nothing would have changed, but since the House is now blue majority, have to get moving. Less than two month's time before the new House moves in
