Culmination of the stunning episode where trump purportedly tries to oust rosen since he wont do his bidding and install jeffrey clark. this was the lone doj official who had demonstrated a willingness to pursue trumps conspiracy theories. trump does stand down. why? because a group of doj officials threatened to resign if he goes through with it. think nixon, if you will. it prompts a sigh of relief from one doj official who tells his colleagues, the cause of justice won. after all these effort...
