So many sources I can't begin to link. Best I can tell Justice Dept says he will have to be fired, WH says he is on his way in to retire. Here is a sampling of what's out there, not including the articles which can't get updated fast enough. I don't have a Twitter account so I'm not linking.

NYT sent me an alert that he is on way to WH, but not sure if it is to resign or be fired.
The USA is living the Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times.

So if he goes does that mean they will be cancelling the Mueller investigation?

No, it means Mueller has a new boss..........a boss selected by DT........at this point, if a new boss tries to cancel the investigation, I think the public will have an uprising--perhaps involving torches and pitchforks.

It means it's in serious danger. IIRC from all of those months and Trump catastrophes ago, next in line is on board with protecting Trump. Anyone with a better memory please feel free to correct me.

I, me, think Rosenstein will hold out and be fired, makes a huge difference in how he is replaced.
IF he is fired he is replaced by Solicitor General, Nick Noel Fransisco .... but SG may have a conflict( has worked with law firm representing Trump Campaign) and would be replaced by Steven Engle, Office of Legal Counsel.
IF he resigns dt can replace him with any already Senate confirmed person to the position.
MSNBC says it could just be an air cleaning meeting................

Doesn’t dt have to fire Rosenstein? I didn’t think Kelly had the authority and dt isn’t at the White House so my speculation is he’ll resign.

I sure hope he does NOT resign! CNN just said he might resign with CONDITIONS, which might include after the Mueller investigation is completed in writing!

Does this president ever fire someone in person, one-on-one? It was his favorite thing to do on his reality TV show, right? I’m honestly surprised he doesn’t film himself saying “you’re fired” to the person and then tweet out the video.

BUT his benefits will not follow him like they would if he retires from office. Edited to add: it may not matter much to him financially as I doubt he is broke. But Im not sure he has a silver spoon either. I have no clue what he is worth. Edited again to add: THIS says he's worth 3 Million. So he probably will wait to be fired. Yay!

Seriously. For unrelated reasons I only slept 1.5 hours last night and I was about to go back to sleep when I came across this. Now I've got a headache, an upset stomach, and a racing mind with no chance of sleep.

Rosenstein and dt will meet on Thursday when he gets back from NYC, so Rosenstein still has a job until then.

According to CNN the meeting with John Kelly is over.
On an unrelated note, while repeatedly refreshing my google search I have ascertained that Rod doesn't have good tie game.

Does this mean they expected him to resign and when he refused they were unable to fire him because DT was not present as Crack-a-lackin questioned? I did a search an couldn't find a conclusive answer. The information all dealt with the President's authority to fire him, not personally having to do so. Has anyone seen anything on this?

I seriously love Adam Schiff. That is all.
and *whew* to Rod Rosenstein NOT resigning!! DT needs to be forced to FIRE Rosenstein, so it will make the obstruction case even STRONGER when it's brought against DT.

This doesn't address why he was at the White House today and reports from the WH about his intention to resign.

I want the SC to have as much time as possible to investigate before Trump pulls the plug and fear Rosenstein losing his job will dramatically shorten that time.
