President Donald Trump is considering firing of deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein – and made moves to fire special counsel Robert Mueller late last year following reports of a subpoena of his financial records.
The president lashed out privately about Rosenstein, who he blames for approving the warrant application that allowed FBI officials to raid Cohen's office, home and hotel room.
CNN reported Trump is considering firing Rosenstein, who oversees the Mueller probe thanks to Attorney General Jeff Sessions's recusal. The report called Rosenstein Trump's most likely target, although firing Sessions is also a possibility. It cited people familiar with the discussions.
Advisors believe Rosenstein crossed a 'red line' by signing off on the Cohen raid – an action that reportedly included targeting documents relating to a porn star and a former Playboy model who each got payoffs and have claim they had affairs with Trump and signed nondisclosure agreements.
At two different periods Trump was prepared to make moves against Mueller, the New York Times reported.

You guys screamed "evil socialist dictator" for 9 years just because it felt good. Now look what we have and its nothing but crickets from you. Too funny
Righting the ship takes time 6:40.
6:40. They have plenty to say. They blame Obama, Hillary and any Democrat they can think of, to try and deflect from this IDIOT.
An awful lot of people looked at this before it took place and signed off. Too much evidence of a crime. No privilege.
