I have no specific evidence to support this, but I believe it. When Trump left the White House

[Atticus]

this morning for New York, he understood that by the end of the day Generally Kelly would have followed orders and either fired Rosenstein or coerced his resignation. However, since he believes arrogance is a substitute for intelligence, the idiot-in-chief did not realize that Kelly lacked the authority to fire Rosenstein. Only Sessions or Trump himself can fire him.

Rest assured that IF there is a firing on Thursday, it will not be anything like those "You're fired!" scenes on his idiotic TV show. A signed letter of dismissal delivered by Kelly would be my guess. This is the stupid cowardly punk Putin selected for us.

1. Spanky's advisors on Faux News are urging him not to fire Rosenstein

because they think the Dems are trying to lure him into a trap that would benefit the Dems politically before the elections. If he hears it from Sean Hannity he'll believe it.

2. "General[ly] Kelly would have followed orders and either fired Rosenstein"

Rosenstein does NOT report to Kelly. He does not work for the White House, he works for DOJ, so Kelly would have no authority to directly do that.

3. That's how he fired Comey.

Trump sent his personal bodyguard, Keith Schiller, to hand-deliver a letter firing Comey to the FBI headquarters building. As usual, Trump was so stupid he didn't bother to confirm Comey was in his office. Comey was in Los Angeles speaking to employees at an FBI field office, so he found out he was fired on TV.

4. Kelly lacked the authority to fire Rosenstein and Rosenstein knew it

[unblock]

5. if he wanted him fired, kelly could have quickly drafted up a sentence and emailed it over

donnie could have had it printed out and signed and scanned and emailed back.

no big deal.
