>President Trump on Monday said he had a "good talk" with Rod Rosenstein, further dampening speculation that the president will fire his deputy attorney general.
>Trump invited Rosenstein to fly with him aboard Air Force One to a law enforcement convention in Florida and he later told the audience their conversation went well.
>"The press wants to know, 'what did you talk about?' But we had a very good talk, I will say it," Trump said during a speech to the International Association of Chiefs of Police in Orlando.
>Rosenstein's future has been an open questions for several weeks since The New York Times published an explosive report saying he discussed secretly taping Trump last year as well as using the 25th Amendment to oust him from office.
>The No. 2 Justice Department official has repeatedly denied the story, but also reportedly offered to resign.
>"That became a very big story, actually, folks. We had a good talk," the president said.
>Before leaving the White House earlier Monday, Trump said he has no plans to fire Rosenstein.
>Trump said he would meet with Rosenstein following the article's publication but that discussion was delayed while the White House focused on confirming Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. The judge was confirmed by the Senate on Saturday.
>Rosenstein oversees the special counsel's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, a probe Trump has repeatedly denounced as a "witch hunt." The president has also attacked Rosenstein on multiple occasions.
Every time Trump has a "talk" with somebody, they come out doing his bidding. He probably has guys kick their ass, raped their ass, or both.

Or maybe the media lies all day every day and there hasn't been any leaks at all from the Mueller case and Rosenstein was flipped when he got nominated to be deputy AG.
Trump: See this TV Rosie? I can't find the Gorilla Channel Rosenstein: I don't watch much television Mr. President. I'm not sure... Trump: We need to find that Gorilla Channel, Rosie. Can you look into it? Rosenstein: I suppose, but... Trump: Put Mueller on it. I bet he can find those goddamn gorillas. Rosenstein: Yes Mr. President.
