who broke this piece of unmerited piece of shit against Mr. Rosenstein. NONE of their "sources" were IN the room when those words were spoken. I am grateful to WaPo and NBC for being able to use diapers to clean up after the NYT.

Straight from his playbook.

Today's fuss appears to be similar, although clumsy enough that tens of thousands of tweets are blasting the reporters involved.

The objective: to seize the top news headline of the day, and it will drive anything else below the figurative fold.
