Alex Jones just released tapes of phone calls he recorded between himself and Megyn Kelly.

Nothing too major, but Kelly was groveling to him to get him to agree to an interview.

My guess is the Associate Attorney General, Rachel Brand, who served in the Bush and Obama admins.

The third, fourth, and fifth paragraphs of the article in the quote posted:

Rosenstein, who authored an extensive and publicly-released memorandum recommending Comey's firing, raised the possibility of his recusal during a recent meeting with Associate Attorney General Rachel Brand, the Justice Department's new third-in-command, according to sources.

Although Rosenstein appointed a special counsel to lead the federal probe, he still makes the final decisions about resources, personnel and -- if necessary -- any prosecutions.

In the recent meeting with Brand, Rosenstein told her that if he were to recuse himself, she would have to step in and take over those responsibilities. She was sworn-in little more than a month ago.

Brand served as an Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Policy in the George W. Bush administration and was appointed by President Barack Obama to serve on the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board.[4] Brand served as Chief Counsel for Regulatory Litigation at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.[5]

Brand is the chairman of the Federalist Society's Litigation Practice Group and co-chair of the American Bar Association Administrative Law Section's Government Information and Right to Privacy Committee.

Sooooo is this because he just wrote the recommendation to fire Comey simply because Trump told him to? The whole "FBI is in shambles and no one trusts leadership" is a hard lie to keep when you have no one at the FBI agreeing with that.

Potentially complicating matters, Trump posted an exasperated message today on Twitter, dismissing the Russia-related probe as a "witch hunt" and lamenting that he's "being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director!"
