Long story short, the resignation was FAKE. RR is not resigning; there is a meeting scheduled for THURSDAY though which is clearly scheduled to distract further from the Ford testimony. This story was specifically floated to derail discussion about Kavanaugh. To talk about the RR resignation story is to be a traitor to the rule of law and the integrity of the SCOTUS.
RR will not resign. Trump cannot fire him.
Hopefully you're right. It would be a shame though, if they went through all this scheduling bullshit to make Ford distract from the Rosenstein firing and vice-versa, then have to postpone the Ford hearing due to the mounting number of accusers against Kavanaugh.
I admit to enjoying just a tiny bit of schadenfreude, having heard alt-right talking heads state with great authority that Ford must be lying, or there would be other accusers...
