Rod Rosenstein is not resigning and has never threatened to do so. The final definitive account came from the Deputy Attorney General’s own mouth. Liz McKernan, a Senior Online News Producer at Sinclair Broadcast Group, managed corner Rosenstein in Washington and managed to pry the answers out of him as he walked down a hallway.

“No I’m not quitting,” said Rosenstein.

When pressed about whether he threatened to quit, Rosenstein responded “no.”

Over the last 48 hours, Rosenstein has become the definition of a political football. In the hours after the firing of James Comey, the Trump administration originally said that Rosenstein had been the one to instigate the dismissal. Reports then emerged that Rosenstein threatened to resign over how he was being portrayed by Trump and the media. The White House then pushed back on those claims saying everything was just fine with Rosenstein.

Rosenstein’s brief remarks while scurrying down a hallway finally seem to put the matter to bed.

1. If Past Be Prologue

He'll be gone soon

[regnaD kciN]

2. Only if he actually does his job...

[Achilleaze]

12. Wasn't he hand picked by AG Jeffy Pretty-Boy-Perjurer Sessions?

That right there raises questions. His job may well have nothing to do with justice, or serving the citizens of these United States.

3. Rosensteins brief remarks while scurrying down a hallway finally seem to put the matter to bed.

"Rosenstein’s brief remarks while scurrying down a hallway finally seem to put the matter to bed."

So it's official!

Jebus.

4. Speaking of footballs - the clustertrump

[Juliusseizure]

5. He could be lying

He could be backtracking. Something made Trump change the narrative. Anyway, he's just another partisan shill unfortunately.

[nycbos]

16. I don't think he is a "partisan shill" I think he is interested in power.

[nycbos]

6. He had a distinguished career at DOJ serving in both Democratic and Republican administrations.

Why would anyone risk all that respect for Donald Trump because everyone knows Trump throws people under the bus when he no longer has any use for them.

[SHRED]

7. There may be an incentive?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$...

[nycbos]

9. I don't think so.

He could have left DOJ at anytime and made a shitload more money at a white collar law firm.

[SHRED]

10. Why work for it...

...when they can hand it to you?

[nycbos]

11. A guy who only cares about money doesn't spend his entire career at DOJ

I am not saying working for Trump turned him into a sleaze bag I am saying there is something else going on that is not money.

[SHRED]

14. I'm at loss to come up with another reason

[nycbos]

15. It's probably power come to think of it.

[atreides1]

17. Maybe he didn't care...

...until now!

[SHRED]

8. Coward.

[leftynyc]

13. I don't believe him

Get his ass under oath.

[SunSeeker]

18. +1

[0rganism]

19. "final definitive account"

[Kleveland]

20. Ah, Sinclair Broadcast Group is the source?

How do we know that this is the truth, or reliable at all?
Has no one been paying attention to the details of Sinclair, and the recent merger?
They are an extremely right wing biased media organization.

I would like to see some better sources, or Rosenstein's face speaking to someone considered credible.

Just sayin'
