Rosenstein to Leave Justice Department Next Friday, Sources Say. Yes we know it’s another “sources” deal but if true it’s about time. McCabe may have ratted some good stuff. We’ll see this Sunday.
Following the Senate confirmation of William P. Barr to be Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is planning to exit the Department of Justice next Friday, according to three DOJ officials who are familiar with his plans and ongoing conversations inside the department.
Rosenstein, 54, initially planned to stay at the Department of Justice for several weeks to ensure a smooth transition for his successor,
Jeffrey Rosen, however, he is quietly working to exit the DOJ next Friday after a scathing interview was given to “60 Minutes” by former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. Mr. McCabe, in an interview scheduled to air on Sunday, said that Mr. Rosenstein considered invoking the 25th amendment to oust President Trump in addition to possibly recording the commander-in-chief, directly contradicting a forceful denial issued months earlier by Rosenstein.
