FILE - In this July 13, 2018, file photo, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein speaks during a news conference at the Department of Justice in Washington. Rosenstein is denying a report in The New York Times that he suggested last year that he secretly record President Donald Trump in the White House to expose the chaos in the administration. Rosenstein says the story is “inaccurate and factually incorrect.”

1. If Trump winds up firing Rosenstein, Republicans face midterm disaster

From The Hill: “It’s not that President Trump plays with electoral fire, it’s that he seems to wallow in napalm.”

2. Hands off Rod Rosenstein

From Los Angeles Times: “The right course for Trump is clear: He should tell Rosenstein to remain on the job.”

3. If Rosenstein’s going to leave, he should demand to be fired

From Washington Post: “He would have nothing to lose but his pride by forcing the president to fire him.”
