UPDATE: AG Bill Barr will hold a press conference tomorrow at 9:30am, per DOJ spox. DAG Rod Rosenstein will be there. There is no other information right now about when Mueller's report itself will be released (aside from earlier guidance from DOJ that it would be Thursday a.m.)
This is also a reminder that, yes, DAG Rod Rosenstein is still here!
Trump said in a radio interview today that AG Barr would be holding a press conference tomorrow, before DOJ announced it. DOJ spox Kerri Kupec says that Trump did not ask to have the press conference. "It was the Department of Justice's decision to do the press conference."

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

BREAKING: Five Chairs of Congressional Committess just issued a joint statement calling for AG Barr to cancel his press conference tomorrow morning. It is “unnecessary and inappropriate, and appears designed to shape public perceptions of the report before anyone can read it.”
“In addition, we understand from press reports that the DoJ has had ‘numerous conversations’ with lawyers from the White House about the report. There is no legitimate reason for the Department to brief the White House prior to providing Congress a copy of the report.”
“These new actions by the AG reinforce our concern that he is acting to protect Pres Trump. The AG previously stated, ‘I do not believe it would be in the public’s interest for me to attempt to summarize the full report or to release it in serial or piecemeal fashion.’ We agree.”

Right, so per "source close to Rod Rosenstein" he has NOT resigned nor has he offered to resign.

If @RealDonaldTrump wants to add another obstruction of justice charge by firing Rosenstein, he'll have to do so. Rosenstein isn't resigning and has not offered to do so.
This per @eorden of CNN.

Rod Rosenstein ("source close to" means this) is not resigning, and has not offered to resign.

Trump may obstruct justice by firing Rosenstein, he must really long for that jail cell, but Rosenstein is not resigning.
This is probably a good time to wise folks up to the idea that if Trump fired Mueller, he wouldn't have fired the Office of Special Counsel. If Mueller spontaneously combusts in the next 5 minutes, the Trump Russia investigation will continue.

It doesn't depend on individuals.
