Here is Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's resignation letter to Trump today — he'll officially leave on May 11.

"We keep the faith, we follow the rules, and we always put America first."
Statement from AG Bill Barr on Rosenstein's resignation: "Rod has been an invaluable partner to me during my return to the Department, and I have relied heavily on his leadership and judgment over the past several months."
Rosenstein's successor, Jeffrey Rosen, hasn't been confirmed by the Senate. He had a hearing on April 10 and the committee hasn't voted yet on his nomination.

As Roy Moore eyes another Senate run, he's still duking it out in court over getting pranked by Sacha Baron Cohen — and it's not going well for Moore so far
buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Come for contract law, stay for Moore's lawyer Larry Klayman telling the judge that but for Roy Moore being a "gentleman," Sacha Baron Cohen wouldn't be walking around right now (Klayman later clarified to me: "He would have been punched out on the spot.") buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Roy Moore was in court today arguing that his defamation lawsuit against Sacha Baron Cohen should stay in DC. The lawyer for Cohen, Showtime, and CBS argued it should go to NYC, per an agreement Moore signed. The judge sided with Cohen et al. buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

Hello on this gray morning from the federal courthouse, where Maria Butina, who pleaded guilty to conspiring to act as an unregistered agent for Russia, will be sentenced. She's asking for time-served and immediate deportation back to Russia. Prosecutors are asking for 18 months
Update: We're watching the "Me!" music video in the media room while we wait for Butina's sentencing to start at 10am
I'll be in the media room for Maria Butina's sentencing - there's live audio, but sadly we've learned this courtroom isn't equipped with video yet, so no video stream. I'll be sharing live updates as the hearing unfolds, but I won't be able to tell you what people look like

(THREAD) BREAKING NEWS: Mueller has sent a report to DOJ that DOJ is representing is "comprehensive" and will shortly be publicly summarized. A lot of the reporting surrounding this major event is *wrong*—so I'll try to report things accurately. I hope you'll read on and retweet.
1/ At the risk of sounding like Mike Myers' famous SNL talk-show host Linda Richman, "Mueller's final Trump-Russia report" is neither "Mueller's," final, about "Trump-Russia" or a "report." So all the breathless "reporting" today suggesting otherwise is inaccurate and misleading.
2/ What we call the "Trump-Russia" investigation is a web of criminal, counterintelligence, and Congressional investigations that intersect with the work of the Special Counsel's Office. So there are three key "c"-words here—"criminal," "counterintelligence," and "Congressional."

Mueller's office has filed a timeline for how a copy of Roger Stone's indictment became public. Basically, after he was arrested they posted it online and sent out a press release.
Basically, the judge wanted to know whether Stone's indictment was made public before Stone was in custody, which was the condition that would cause it to be unsealed. Mueller's office says it wasn't, and offers emails and server logs to support that.
Here's the weird background ->

Conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi in plea negotiations with Mueller, which could shed light on whether Trump or his advisers were linked to WikiLeaks’ release of hacked Democratic emails in 2016 washingtonpost.com/politics/stone…
"Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps. One shortly after I'm back. 2nd in Oct. Impact planned to be very damaging."

Corsi informed Stone about the planned WikiLeaks Dem email releases 2 months in advance.

And Mueller has the exchange. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"Stone responded, "Get to (Assange) [a]t Ecuadorian Embassy in London and get the pending (WikiLeaks) emails."

Corsi passed the request along to conservative author Ted Malloch in London"
