ROD ROSENSTEIN IS LEAVING THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT (The Daily Caller)
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein plans to leave the Justice Department in mid-March, agency officials told news outlets Monday.
A Justice Department official said that Rosenstein’s departure is not related to a controversy surrounding his alleged offer to wear a wire during conversations with President Donald Trump, according to CNN. Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe claimed in an interview that aired Sunday that Rosenstein broached the idea of wearing a wire to the White House in May 2017, days after James Comey was fired as FBI director.

Sixteen Democrat-led states made good Monday on their threat to sue to stop President Trump’s emergency declaration to build his border wall, hoping to use the West Coast’s famously liberal courts to block him.
Led by California, the states said Mr. Trump’s move showed “flagrant disregard” for the Constitution by attempting to spend money after Congress had refused to grant him as much as he wanted for wall construction.
They argued they had standing to sue because, they figure, some of the money Mr. Trump had redirected would have been spent within their borders on other activities, making them uniquely harmed by his decision. [Read More]

So has the second special prosecutor phase of the coup to abort the Trump presidency failed. There are many elements to what in time likely will become recognized as the greatest scandal in American political history, marking the first occasion in which U.S. government bureaucrats sought to overturn an election and to remove a sitting U.S. president.
