Because someone with no prosecutorial or law enforcement experience would be the chief operating officer of the DoJ, the choice of Jeffrey Rosen seems odd, while comfortable for those “ball’ reasons discussed in another diary.
On Monday, Trump took to Twitter to attack Rod Rosenstein after former acting FBI director Andrew McCabe said Sunday on “60 Minutes” that Rosenstein once discussed invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office.
Trump said on Twitter that Rosenstein and McCabe “look like they were planning a very illegal act, and got caught.” Trump also noted that Rosenstein was originally hired by former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who drew the ire of Trump for recusing himself from the Russia probe.
"Wow, so many lies by now disgraced acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe. He was fired for lying, and now his story gets even more deranged," Trump tweeted. "He and Rod Rosenstein, who was hired by Jeff Sessions(another beauty), look like they were planning a very illegal act, and got caught."
