Context —
Let's talk about Abu Dhabi now. When you think of Avenatti who do you think of? Stormy Daniels. Right? So Avenatti, Stormy Daniels. Avenatti, Stormy Daniels. It's impossible not to think of Stormy Daniels and therefore porn and porn stars. So Avenatti has attached himself to this new headline because he's good at attaching himself to headlines. There he has apparently some new witness. He was goi…
← Previous segment →So Fox News is reporting Rob. No that Rosenstein is, let's see that. Let's see that because I don't see that it's not on their website. That would be the top thing. Let's look on Rosen's. We'll find this out in real time. Oh my god. CNBC is reporting it. Rod Rosenstein is reportedly resigning according to CNBC. He's expecting to be fired and it could be immediate.
So actually so Axios is the basis source for the reporting and it cites a source familiar with the matter. Okay so we have an anonymous source familiar with the matter. Does that mean he's really resigning? No it does seem likely he would resign and it seems reasonable he would and you could certainly predict it but so far we have a story that depends on Axios citing a source familiar with the matter. That's nothing. If we've learned anything, if we've learned anything it's that that's nothing. Anonymous source familiar with the matter. All right so I won't be surprised if he does resign but I wouldn't put any credibility in an anonymous source familiar with the matter. No credibility. We don't live in that world anymore.
Yeah I know CNBC is reporting it but they're reporting it based on Axios reporting at least that's the way it's stated here on CNBC's website. And Fox News says reports say. Sounds like every one of these reports say is probably going back to the same anonymous source that we can't check and we wouldn't. You'd be surprised if he's not resigning. Doesn't Rod Rosenstein sort of need to resign? So it was only a matter of time whether he was fired or resigned so it doesn't that much actually. As it possible Trump is riling up women intentionally? No why would he even do that? Has resigned. So that'll be interesting. Who would replace Rod Rosenstein? That matters. And would Jeff Sessions be the one to hire their replacement? It's his job.
Somebody said why are you surprised? I said the opposite. I said it's likely that he would resign eventually but whether or not this story is true that he's resigning right now you can't give it credibility based on an anonymous report.
