WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein told President Donald Trump last week that he is not a target of any part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday.

Citing two unnamed sources, Bloomberg said Rosenstein brought up the matter and offered the reassurance in a meeting with Trump at the White House on April 12, and that the development "helped tamp down the president’s desire to remove Rosenstein or Mueller."

Trump told some of his closest advisers after the meeting that it is not the right time to remove either man since he is not a target of the probe, Bloomberg reported.

Rod's trying to keep his job.

What it be Clinton that's the target after the Uranium deal, lol...

If true, it's yahoots "news", so a very BIG if, the entire media, Shifty, lefty et al fake narrative for the last two years just fell completely apart.

Let the FBI/DOJ group perp walks begin.

So even though Trump is not the "target" does it mean that that arrow won't sort of meander into Trump's bottom? If in fact he isn't a target then what the heck are they still looking for? The reason for the investigation was Trump's collusion (Demoncraptic accusations) with the Russkies so in fact this investigation should be stopped at this time or in other words NOW!

Just got an alert that Rosie told Trump that he wasn't a target in the Cohen raid/investigation.

Is it one or the other? Neither? True in both cases?

If so, El O El.

Personally, at this point, I'd rate Trump's chances of getting his ass in a sling for collusion with the Russians to influence the election at zero. Obstruction of justice for the firing of Comey also at, or near, zero. Obstruction of justice trying to cover up what was discussed at a meeting with the Ruskis at Trump Tower at about 10% tops.

That leaves his dealings with Cohen which I'd say there's at least a 50-50 chance they could find something to make his life miserable. It wouldn't have anything to do with the reason the entire witch hunt was started in the first place, but we're adults here and know this is not about justice, it's about removing the threat from office.

If it's true he's not a target in anything they've found in Cohen's possession (and I'd be amazed that that would the case so quickly), then I'd say shut farking Bueller down and let's get on with making America great for the next 7 years.

Come on guys, Mach has preached to us poor, dumb Trump supporters that we had to buckle up because Trump's crimes of collusion with Russia were going to be exposed and he would be gone. Surely the man who truly believes he is the smartest human being on this board couldn't possibly be wrong?

All I want to see is the same standard applied with equal vigor to all parties. That's not quite true, that's not quite all. I would like to see that standard be a very high one. If you set the bar where I want, then I would expect it is very possible that some members of the Trump campaign, along with Hillary, Comet, Mueller, Lynch, and others would do time, but I'm afraid that's not going to happen. But wherever the bar is set, just set it at the same height for everybody.

Don't hold your breath Owl. The Reps don't know how to fight dirty. Sigh...

that's all anyone with any sense should desire.....

that's what's saddening when I say with confidence, one can only 'wish' for numerous convictions at that level.....nothing would make me happier to see cankles and ANY other cronies in shackles....

however, I'm with Ollie.....nuts zongo isn't holding his breath....

Oh man, Shifty and Lefty is what we called my 88 year old mother and her 85 year old sister. Those two were a hot mess.

They are far too eager to "compromise", which we all know means the dems get what they want while to reps suck hind tit.

Cohen was the subject of the investigation. Then Mueller plays trade up.

You guys can't see this??????

Helen Keller could read these tea leaves....

Then the unnamed sources.......... Ohhhhhh goodness..........

I do wish both sides applied the law with equal vigor too.

How many house hearings on Benghazi?????

Then this House investigation on Trump collusion. The D's wanted to subpoena Cohen's records to see where he was. Credit Cards or anything to tie him to Prague to confirm parts of the Dossier. They REFUSED???? Why? Instead of running an investigation they run interference. So that's why these calls for equal vigor in investigations runs incredible shallow with me. You guys are blind partisans.

LOLOLOL, good Lord, stake a position and stick to it for crying out loud. You guys simply cannot keep stealing our playbook.

I love the smell of desperation in the morning.

Hypocrit....... know thy name.................

Cohen dropped his lawsuit against Fusion GPS. I suspect that played a bigger role in this raid than the President. Now that the lawsuit is dropped the threat Cohen presented has been removed

Dropping the lawsuit implies he was in Prague. Confirming more parts of the dossier.

No it doesn't. You're trying to make stuff be there that isn't there.
