it is all on friday followlies with raymond arroyo. an absolute jawdropper late this afternoon. a report from "the new york times." it lays out that in the spring of 2017, deputy a.g. rod rosenstein suggested secretly recording president trump and discussed invoking the 25th amendment to throw the president out of office. now, rosenstein, as you would expect, is forcefully denying that this ever happened. separately, a fox news source, said to be in the same room as this conversation, is claiming that rosenstein's comments were just sarcastic. they weren't serious. does anyone believe that tonight?
