Michael Schmidt and Maggie Haberman of the NYT almost ALWAYS swoop in to save Trump

[scheming daemons]

Especially, Maggie.

But this time, Michael.

4. I'm Calling BS On This

I can imagine him suggesting it to someone but to cabinet officers...Nah...and don't think they wouldn't have told the Comrade in the WH just to curry favor

[meow2u3]

19. I canceled my NYT subscription because of shoddy reporting like this

I'm sick of a supposedly reputable newspaper publishing propaganda like this.

[RhodeIslandOne]

22. I believe it.

The sad thing about this story is that we are now so far beyond the shock that a Republican government official would actually suggest this, it's now only about the political fallout of how this incompetent President who should be removed is going to get to exact his revenge.

3. Maggie is the WH

society columnist. Gossip girl.

Michael is the go-to for WH leakers who are afraid of getting girl cooties from Maggie.

A pox on both their enabling houses.

5. I was going to post this and say that is all

Indictments must be coming

6. Both Maggie and her mother used to work for

Rupert Murdoch ( Maggie at the Post, her mother as his publicist) so no surprise.

[MelissaB]

10. Maggie's mother also works for the Kushners.

7. Rosenstein solicits people in Trump's cabinet and aids and none of they relayed it to Trump? None?

.

That's the bullshit part of this.

Trump has a hard-on for Rosenstein and any aid would see reporting this as a loyalty test and get rewards.

8. Yup. Rosenstein will be fired

[helpisontheway]

12. Hope he realizes that and releases some shit on Trump on his way out. Mueller

better hurry up and release whatever he has...RIGHT NOW...he will likely be fired very soon too.

[still_one]

16. We are all speculating of course

[Iliyah]

9. I know you guys remember in school . . .

approximately 20-35 students in class the teacher whispers a sentence or two into the first student's ear and ask the student to whisper it into another student's ear and so on until the last student. Then the teacher ask the last student to repeat what was told to him/her. The sentences were totally different from the original ones.

I swear, this article reminds me of that . . .

Folks, we are still in grade school. From that so called journalist claiming it was someone else that assaulted Dr. Ford and now this.

17. +1, these are true believers of Red Don at this point. They know he's screwed up but still ...

... schill for him

[Thrill]

11. So now he believes the failing NYT?

[Grasswire2]

13. ratfuc!ery.

Pure and simple.

Why no confirmation from McCabe, who is sourced in the story?

Why now?

14. Rosenstein Denies That He Discussed Recording Trump, Invoking 25th Amendment

23. The Entire Story Is A Big P...U..

[eleny]

15. It was such a bad idea by the White House that it could be debunked by the end of the day

Given how people here at DU caught on. Within a few minutes of buying the story I learned that according to RR he never taped Trump.

Schmidt is the darling and go-to guy on MSNBC. I wonder how it will go for him tonight if his blockbuster report becomes a ...

[moondust]

18. Maybe corp media

really like their tax cuts and stock market gains?

[JHan]

21. What I think we're seeing is NYT belief in its own exceptionalism,

so they don't question their judgment enough before publishing certain stories.

[Ninga]

24. Are these two hiding? What's going on at the Times....? Nt
