> Some White House officials also believed that only the president could legally accept Mr. Rosenstein’s resignation, not Mr. Kelly, according to two people familiar with internal discussions.
>Mr. Rosenstein was emotional, according to people familiar with his meeting with Mr. McGahn. Mr. Rosenstein wanted to leave on amicable terms, not in a manner that would trigger an angry Twitter tirade from Mr. Trump.
> Representative Robert W. Goodlatte, Republican of Virginia and the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, appeared to validate Mr. Rosenstein’s concerns that lawmakers were planning to scrutinize the events described in the Times article. It was based on interviews over several months with people who were told about Mr. Rosenstein’s comments at the time or who were briefed on memos that documented them, including some written by Andrew G. McCabe, then the acting director of the F.B.I.
Damn

The head of the German Bishops’ Conference apologized on Tuesday for the “pain and suffering” caused by the Catholic Church’s decades-long failure to take abuse of children at the hands of clergy members seriously enough, and pledged to pursue justice.
The apology came on the heels of a new report that found more than 3,600 children in German had been victimized by clergy members.
Hours earlier, Pope Francis acknowledged that anger over the sexual abuse of children by Roman Catholic clergy members was driving many people, especially the young, away from an institution they feel no longer speaks to, understands or can protect them.
People are walking up. <3
Old news from yesterday

Angela Merkel said she "regrets" her handling of a political scandal involving the country's top spy - who was effectively promoted after making controversial remarks.
Former domestic intelligence chief, Hans-Georg Maassen was told to quit after he cast doubt on reports of anti-migrant attacks in Chemnitz.
He was instead moved to the interior ministry - to a job which paid more.
Angela Merkel was unable to fire an unruly subordinate who had overstepped his brief and publicly contradicted her — proving to critics that her authority is on the wane.
Andrea Nahles, leader of the centre-left SPD, has confirmed the worst fears of her rebels, who accuse her of betraying left-wing values, by entering into muddy compromises with the conservatives to stay in power.
What happened to the spy chief?
Mr Maassen was the head of Germany's Federal Office for Constitutional Protection (BfV) - which is similar to the British MI5.
Hmm, going to start digging on this.
She makes the best body language video ever.
Same here, I always love people watching/just studying on people's movements and what not.
Sadly, I have no idea. Sorry.

Emmanuel Macron may be a big figure on the world stage, but at home in France he's facing an uphill struggle to regain public confidence.
The polling agencies agree that Emmanuel Macron's popularity is at its lowest point.
According to OpinionWay, only 28% of voters are satisfied with his performance - down from 35% in July.
With these figures, he is actually more unpopular at this point in his mandate than were either of his predecessors - François Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy.
Uh oh..haha
