What's Rosenstein's bag?

[kentuck]

How much did he help Barr in his report today?

I had hoped that he was on the side of justice and truth, but it appears that he has gone over to the dark side?

Barr made a point that he and Rosenstein worked together on the conclusions.

This was sort of a surprise to me.

I didn't think he would allow himself to be used in such a way but it appears I was wrong about him?

1. He's a Federalist Society Republican

What else do you need to know?

He does get credit for protecting Mueller, but in the end, he agrees with Trump's judicial picks. He sat right behind Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings showing his support.

7. "Good job, good job."

If you watched the hearings on C-span, you would have seen Rosenstein go up to Kavanaugh after MSM cameras no longer running: Claps Kavanaugh on the back and clearly mouths "Good job, good job."

14. Yes I saw that too.

2. Barr is Rosenstein's boss (for the time being)...

...read into that what you will.

[kentuck]

4. Rosenstein was going to resign his job about a week ago....

...but was persuaded to stay on a little while longer.

Now we know why.

3. I believe he was acting in his own self interest today. Let's not forget he penned that ridiculous

letter about firing Comey at the behest, whatever of rump. He was involved in the obstruction case from the start and that is why he made sure along w/ Barr to squash this.

5. Why did you think Rosenstein would not be used? Trump used him out of the gate to fire Comey.

No surprise to me. When they announced he was staying on it meant bad news for us.

6. Just Follow the Bouncing Ball...

Um, I'm pretty sure the fake justification letter he wrote to give Candycorn Asswipe cover for firing Comey was the first clue.

[blm]

8. Remember his visit to the WH expecting to be fired?

They probably have something on him. Probably personal. I’ve often thought about that day every time Rosenstein acted oddly, as in his response to what McCabe said.

9. Rosenstein wrote the memo advocating Comey be fired

I've been saying it for over a year, how can the guy that recommended and made a written case for Comey's firing, oversee an obstruction investigation centered around Comey's firing?

[Wellstone ruled]

10. Today did not help with the Rule of Law one bit.

We again our Justice System being twisted to protect a Political Cause. Barr bailed out Reagan and returned to protect Cheney and Libby.

Today's outcome was forecast with Lindsey Graham being appointed to Senate Judiciary Chairman. After Grassley went to Intell we saw Whitaker move to AG and then here comes the Clean up Guy Barr.

Did we not see this movie before.

[kentuck]

11. And Lindsay is now Chair of Senate Judiciary.

Almost like a plan, isn't it?

[Wellstone ruled]

12. That seems to have been the game plan

back in December. Nance said to watch out for Graham.

[DeminPennswoods]

13. He's irrelevent

at this point.

You might have missed Nadler saying at his brief presser earlier today that Dems will re-create the same information Mueller got if they need to do it.
