Fortunately, the attempt to defenestrate Rod Rosenstein seems to be going nowhere — for the moment. But what in the name of Murphy the Trickster God could the NYTimesmen responsible for starting this rumor have been thinking?…
It seems like at least once a month, the Times likes to remind us of how great Margaret Sullivan was for them, and how bad for them it’s been since they let her go.

I now count three different news orgs reporting Rosenstein’s comment abt wiretapping was clearly a joke. how on earth did NYT run the story it did???

Because the people who a year ago were able to quash stuff like this are gone or headed out the door?
Also, since then, most of the top level FBI people involved in the Russia investigation have been pushed out. This could be same people who pushed BS to NYT in Oct 2016 https://t.co/EK1Fs7Em53
