Trump needs to fire this asshole at the first possible moment. He's obviously doing everything he can to destroy Trump.

HUGE: Rosenstein Moved Cohen Case to New York - Then Ordered Trump-Appointed US Attorney Geoffrey Berman to Recuse Himself

Rod Rosenstein made the decision to turn over the Michael Cohen case to attorneys in the Southern District of New York. Rosenstein did this to ensure that the witch hunt against President Trump continued if President Trump shut down the junk Mueller investigation. The US attorney Trump appointed for that outpost, Geoffrey Berman, reportedly was ordered to recuse himself by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, leaving the office staffed mostly by holdovers from Preet Bharara’s tenure.​

Fake news. There is no evidence that Rosenstein ordered anything.

Actually Rosenstein might have ordered it... It was in the original brief...

He probably wanted to keep Mueller on his original remit and let this other investigation to a local office. This is really common.

The laugh is in the Manafort case they are screaming that Manafort is outside his scope and now Cohen should have been in it...

So what do they actually want... Suppose they handed the Manafort case over to the local district as well? No pardon for Manafort, he would be singing like a canary right now...

The Trumpets are trying to create confusion by being on both sides at the same time.. They are just looking stupid.

Hush money for an event that happened a decade ago justifies usurping a duly elected president? This is small beans compared to what the last administration was doing. Compare $130k for a fling to $400M to nuke seeking Iran or 20% of Uranium to apparent arch enemy Russia.

Okay, dummy.

that 400MM, was Iran's money that international courts have ruled they are entitled to, and they got it in exchange for not making nukes.

The Uranium deal was approved by five departments and congress.

Trump wasn't duly elected... the people said "No". But even if he was, he STILL BROKE THE LAW. We removed Nixon from power for less.

I hope President Trump releases the list of those who paid off women for abuses. Clean the ranks of bad apples and see who comes out in favor of transparency and persecution then.

You can hope a bunch of stuff.. but if he does that, he'd be violating confidentiality agreements that were legally reached.

LOL, you're the one doing the "hoping".
