Welp, it looks like an FBI lawyer’s testimony is ‘at odds’ with Rosenstein’s denial on the wire report.
Ooh boy: FBI lawyer's testimony at odds with Rosenstein denial on 'wire' report https://t.co/5Thz9VQYBV #FoxNews

‘Ooh boy,’ is right.
From Fox News:
Two senior FBI officials told the bureau’s top lawyer they believed Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein was “serious” when he discussed secretly recording President Trump and invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from office last year, according to sources close to a congressional investigation – an account that conflicts with claims from Rosenstein and others that the comments either were inaccurately reported or made in jest.
Former FBI General Counsel James A. Baker told congressional investigators during a closed-door deposition last week that then-FBI Acting Director Andrew McCabe and FBI lawyer Lisa Page came to Baker “contemporaneously” after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey in May 2017. Baker said Page and McCabe relayed details of the meeting where Rosenstein made the comments.
Though he wasn’t personally in that meeting, Baker told congressional investigators he took McCabe and Page’s account “seriously,” the sources said. Further, Baker told congressional investigators he suspected “Rosenstein was coordinating with two people in the administration to invoke the 25th Amendment,” a source said.
Maybe Rosenstein really should have resigned.
Just sayin’.

So you now think McCabe and Page are credible?

not sure what you mean by "credible" — I mostly think it's interesting to observe the infighting.

We’ve all been so distracted with Kavanaugh that we kinda sorta forgot about all of this …
