Jeff Zeleny, a Sr. White House Correspondent just told CNN's Erin Burnett that Trump

has been contemplating taking this action for at least a week but didn't have a rationale for doing so but told the Atty General and the Deputy Atty General to look for that rationale.

You can't make this shit up.

I can just hear that conversation now and how it went down. "Goddamn it. I want that smug sonofabitch fired. Bannon. Prebuis. Spicer. Conway. Find me a rationale and quick. That sonofabitch ain't going to have me doing a perp walk down Pennyslvania Avenue if I got anything to say about it. "

I guess the Deputy Atty General read the handwriting on the wall after seeing what happened to Sally Yates. I guess he said that, "Either I can have a backbone, and say "I'm not doing it Mr. President, knowing Trump would fire him like he did Yates, or he could say, "Jim, You're Fired". Why does this look and sound like a bad ending to an episode of Trump's "The Apprentice". SAD
