Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has "verbally resigned" his position in the Department of Justice, effective Monday, according to reports from Axios and others.

Chief of Staff John Kelly has reportedly accepted Rosenstein's resignation.

Sources close to Rosenstein told the national security publication that Rosenstein was "expecting to be fired" following a New York Times report from last week detailing conversations Rosenstein allegedly had with other administration officials in which he suggested recording conversations with President Donald Trump and proposed "recruiting Cabinet members" to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove the president from office.

The DOJ has much more exciting water cooler discussions than my place of employment. I must be doing SOMETHING wrong. I went to an Engineering University in the 1980’s but it was nothing like they described at Yale. I work in an office and deal with State and County politicians all of the time, but we have never recorded a conversation or discussed a coup. Washington just seems to have all the excitement.
