Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders issued a statement Monday saying that President Donald Trump and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will meet Thursday when Trump returns to D.C.

Despite the flurry of speculation Monday, it seems that Rosenstein’s fate will not be decided until Thursday, the same day as the Senate hearing featuring Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and one of his accusers, professor Christine Blasey Ford.

    Is the plan for Rosenstein to distract from Kavanaugh, or for Kavanaugh to distract from Rosenstein? I am confused. Wait a sec- maybe that’s the endgame! We get so confused, our heads explode!

    Yes, Trump and Rosenstein are meeting on Thursday. IMO, however, we don’t yet know that Rosenstein’s “fate will be sealed” at that meeting. Too much of today’s reporting already jumped to the assumption that Rosenstein was out, but that didn’t happen. A little caution is called for right now.
