2016 ELECTION/JEFF SESSIONS/RUSSIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Former federal prosecutor Joseph diGenova, who was set to join President Donald Trump’s legal team, on Wednesday [4-11-18] night called for the firing of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, telling Fox News that Attorney General Jeff Sessions has an obligation to dismiss his second in command. DiGenova joins a chorus of commentators and analysts, a group that includes Fox Business commentator Lou Dobbs and others, that is pushing the president to dismantle the investigation into possible collusion between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russia…Rosenstein has drawn increased scrutiny from defenders of the president in recent days in the wake of an FBI raid on Michael Cohen, Trump’s longtime personal attorney, that was approved by the deputy attorney general. Rosenstein is also the Justice Department official overseeing the Russia investigation, labeled a ‘witch hunt’ by the president, led by special counsel Robert Mueller.”
