Trump Goes After Deputy AG Rosenstein (UPDATED)

Demonstrating again this morning that he's consumed by fear and guilt and unable to control his impulses, un- indicted co- conspirator Donald "Rump" Trump is now attacking (one has to assume) Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein for his part in the Justice Department's obstruction of justice investigation. As we noted yesterday, his previous rumblings about firing Special Counsel Robert Mueller amounted to a dimwitted ploy that assumed Mueller would be pressured to exonerate Rump. Perhaps this is in the same category of delusional bullying, or perhaps he's just laying the groundwork to begin firing people that are getting too close to blowing the Russiagate and linked investigations wide open. You judge:

I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director! Witch Hunt

By the way, thanks for confirming the Washington Post report that you are, indeed, under investigation, you corrupt dolt.

UPDATE: ABC News is reporting this about Rosenstein --

The senior Justice Department official with ultimate authority over the special counsel's probe of Russia's alleged meddling in the 2016 election has privately acknowledged to colleagues that he may have to recuse himself from the matter, which he took charge of only after Attorney General Jeff Sessions' own recusal, sources tell ABC News. 

Those private remarks from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein are significant because they reflect the widening nature of the federal probe, which now includes a preliminary inquiry into whether President Donald Trump attempted to obstruct justice when he allegedly tried to curtail the probe and then fired James Comey as FBI director.

We'll see if this pans out as an accurate story, and if and how it fits with the Rump tweet above.
