Man Shocks America With Unblinking Eyes

Attorney General William Barr held a press conference on Thursday morning, ahead of the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s redacted report on the Russian election interference investigation. Barr was joined at Department of Justice podium by two men: one, with a beard and seemingly normal body movements, and the other, unmoving and with unblinking eyes staring probingly in the direction of the camera.

snip==============================================

As Barr spoke — giving his interpretation of the Mueller report — it was hard to notice anything other than Rosenstein’s eyes, which almost seemed like those of a broken android, designed to look human but momentarily stalled in the “open” position. We know from the discourse around disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes that not blinking doesn’t necessarily indicate anything about a person’s behavior — but the haunting image of his overall stillness was still a sight to behold.

and told him that our high school is not proud of his so called values where he puts Party Over Country and allows Russia to attack our election process and put our country's security at risk.

"During his Senate confirmation hearing he said that "he learned "straightforward values."

"Work hard. Play by the rules. Question assumptions, but treat everyone with respect. Read widely, write coherently and speak thoughtfully. Expect nothing, and be grateful for everything. Remain gracious in times of defeat, and humble in moments of victory. And try to leave things better than you found them."
Rosenstein attended public schools and graduated from Lower Moreland High School in 1982."

Valerie Plame graduated in 1981 and she is more of a patriot than that shithead.
