Rosenstein, Afraid of Losing Job, Reportedly Told Trump: ‘I Can Land The Plane’

"SNIP.....

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein reportedly convinced Trump not to fire him after a damming New York Timesarticle implicated him in a plan to secretly record the president, The Washington Post reports. Rosenstein allegedly denied the Times’ reporting, and argued that the president needed to keep him so that the Mueller Report, which Rosenstein oversaw, maintained credibility. “I give the investigation credibility,” Rosenstein allegedly said, according to one administration official. “I can land the plane.” Rosenstein responded to the characterization by stating: “The only commitment I made to President Trump about the Russia investigation is the same commitment I made to the Congress: so long as I was in charge, it would be conducted appropriately and as expeditiously as possible.”

As the Justice Department’s second-in-command, Rosenstein has walked a narrowing tightrope in an effort to keep his job. The deputy attorney general has repeatedly appeased a disgruntled president, while simultaneously protecting the special counsel’s investigation. Rosenstein’s balancing act has come under renewed scrutiny since the redacted release of the Mueller Report left many Democratic lawmakers demanding more. “I did pledge to do it right and take it to the appropriate conclusion,” Rosenstein recently said of the report. “I did not promise to report all results to the public.”

3. Remember when Trump was on again off again with his

little tantrums about the Mueller report.
Well its obvious now that Rosenstein was feeding Trump information about the Mueller report and the progress.
He was the song bird.

He kept this info flowing to this Nazi to keep his job but he has destroyed his reputation.

"so long as I was in charge, it would be conducted appropriately and as expeditiously as possible.”
This statement was pure Bullshit.

A Republican is still a Republican and they will always lie,cheat,steal to protect their own.

We are living in a very, very critical time trying to protect our Democracy and itd becoming a rerun of the 1930's during Hitler's rise to power and its scary as hell.
