Lots of leftie broken hearts today. And many angry. And some frothing at the mouth. Some thinking Rosenstein is now colluding with the president probably. Just lots of reasons to go crazy over these words, true or not.

Rosenstein Said to Tell Trump He's Not Target in Mueller, Cohen Probes

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein told President Donald Trump last week that he isn’t a target of any part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation or the probe into his longtime lawyer, Michael Cohen, according to several people familiar with the matter.

Rosenstein, who brought up the investigations himself, offered the assurance during a meeting with Trump at the White House last Thursday, a development that helped tamp down the president’s desire to remove Rosenstein or Mueller, the people said.

After the meeting, Trump told some of his closest advisers that it’s not the right time to remove either man since he’s not a target of the probes. One person said Trump doesn’t want to take any action that would drag out the investigation.

The change in attitude by the president comes after weeks of attacks on the special counsel and the Justice Department, raising questions about whether he might take drastic steps to shut down the probes.

The shift gives some breathing room for Mueller, as well as Rosenstein, who has been criticized strongly by House Republicans for being slow to comply with requests for classified documents. Last week’s meeting was set up in part to allow Rosenstein to assuage Trump’s frustration with his decisions.

I think we might be seeing some thinking that it's time to try and find a way out of this witch hunt since the heat is really starting to get hot. They want to find a way out and drop this before they find themselves in jail, and Rosenstein is probably one of them.
