update; it appears that the new york times had no source who was actually in the room during rosenstein's remark, and the washington post DOES have such a source, who reports that the comment (question, actually) was CLEARLY a joke, along the lines of "what do you want me to do? wear a wire?"

i can't help noticing that when the times reports something that conflicts with fox nudes, trump calls it "fake news," but when the times gives him fuel, however, weak, for his attacks on his perceived enemies, suddenly the times is a great source. hmm.
