You can make a solid argument that Brown Moses / Belingcat was this forums greatest contribution to society. I’ll let ya’ll debate what was the worse.

Hot Karl Marx posted:Brown Moses basically pioneered this type of investigation (with help obviously) right? Open source investigation or something like that Back in 2000 when I was on a dinosaur dig, I was warned not to take any photos of any horizons since people could use that to figure out where we were. It has been around for awhile but he probably brought more attention to it.

In what world would he resign instead of getting fired for the optics alone? This is one hell of a way to move the conversation away from Kavanaugh. e; If he is on his way to the white house he can't be getting fired, cheeto can't do it to his face.

If Rosenstein gets fired, Mueller's supervisor becomes Solicitor General Noel Francisco, an old friend of Ted Cruz, but he's well-known in legal circles. https://twitter.com/AaronBlake/status/1044238139416612865?s=19  Fox says Rosenstein hasn't resigned, but he's been sent for and is on the way to the White House.

This is super impressive and an example of good journalism. It's also really horrifying, this won't have helped in the fight against Boko Haram.

White House might be trying to pre-empt Rosenstein's soft resignation by summoning him, likely to fire him before his resignation processes. Strap 'em on boys, this fight's going well.

Right now it's a complete sourcing clusterfuck on resigned vs. summoned-for/expecting-fired. They're telling journalists different things. For what it's worth, they've run this bullshit playbook before, so Rosenstein and Mueller have likely talked about this poo poo in the past.

That's fine, but I don't think Trump is in the loop in any capacity at this point. If Kelly got a verbal resignation, that means that the rest of the executive staff needs to be made aware, etc. It's going to be a clusterfuck for both "sides" because the sheer ineptitude and overlap of duties going on at this point. There's no precedent for control of narrative or execution in this administration, but there is for manifestly acting against their own self-interest.

This has been the plan ever since they planted the false story about Rosenstein saying they should invoke the 25th.

The Iron Rose posted:I think assuming the administration orchestrated this is giving them way too much credit. They have been the source via the NYT of a number of bullshit stories over the years. This is Trump 101 and is the same tactics he's used in all his legal troubles going back to the 80s. He uses friends in the media to publish bullshit or to pay people off. The most recent one before this resignation poo poo was the rosenstein says they should invoke the 25th and wear a wire report. They're stories that get disproven with the most modicum of investigative journalism, but they hit the street first and stick into people's minds.

Oh I'm not denying that this is a blatant hit job. I just think that it implies too much competence for this to be a deliberate action to take attention away from the Kavanaugh accusations. Like no way that wouldn't have leaked by now.

Fallom posted:Why would a Democrat be shy about wanting to end Kavanaugh's nomination? Even if the guy wasn't found to be a rapist his views are totally abhorrent. Calling that political is a meaningless criticism. This has been a thing for ages whenever the Republicans don't get their way. "Politics" is a dirty word among their base, and it's always the Democrats who are doing it.

BigDave posted:That's a really good question. In a perfect world it means every regional office opens their big red envelope with a list of incitements and instructions to perp walk the 2/3rds of this administration and syncopates they have evidence against. Good luck talking their way out of that one when they and their friends are all isolated in separate jails. Doesn't really matter if half of them will walk after trial in the next four years.
