Birmingham, Ala. anchor Chris Sign was found dead by first responders Saturday morning. He was 45.

Sign first worked at ABC affiliate WBMA between 2000 and 2005. He came back in 2017 as a weeknight anchor after working as a reporter and then a morning anchor at KNXV in Phoenix for almost 13 years.

WBMA says Sign passed up an opportunity to work at a network to come back to Birmingham.

That decision put him in a place where he could see his boys off to school in the mornings, watch them play baseball in the evenings, and take them fishing on the weekends.”

Al.com reports Hoover, Ala. 911 got a call at 8:13 a.m. Saturday about a person down at a residence. When police and fire arrived they found Sign dead.

Police say the death is being investigated as a suicide.

(2 shots to the back of the head, I assume)

Ex-DOJ official Rosenstein says he was not aware of subpoena targeting Democrats: report

Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has said in conversations with associates that he is not be aware of a Trump-era subpoena targeting data for congressional Democrats, CNN reported Saturday.

Rosenstein has told people in recent days that he was not aware of the subpoena for metadata on House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), a source told the outlet.

As CNN points out, a leak investigation relating to the Russia probe would have fallen under Rosenstein, as former Attorney General Jeff Sessions had recused himself from matters relating to Russia.

Former Attorney General William Barr also said Friday that he does not recall discussing an investigation of lawmakers, CNN reported. Barr took office a year after the subpoena on Apple was issued.

Really?

True IF they didn't want leadership shutting them down. (that would be awesome)

I would assume due to the players being subpoenaed, US Attorneys would have to inform the higher ups.
