Good riddance, Rod Rosenstein, you slithering sycophant.

[milestogo]

You had the opportunity to do the right thing, and you were morally deficient.

[SummerSnow]

1. Party first, party loyalty

[kentuck]

2. He landed that damn plane...

...and he sees himself walking away from the flaming wreckage and the heat waves, a la Chuck Yeager, in the Right Stuff. But I do not see history recording him as a hero.

[old guy]

3. Wonder what job tRump promised him?

[DoctorJoJo]

4. Again--Repukes Simply Don't Have the Embarrassment Gene!

[djacq]

5. History will reflect.

[Evolve Dammit]

6. For all Drumph's whining, they were all republicans; down to Mueller.

Barr auditioned for his appointment and it's clear that Rosenstein was in on the fix. We need to hear from Mueller and McGahn first. Barr is a waste of time; slimier than Rosenstein.

[Rebl2]

7. Hate to

say it, but Muller is a Republican too. I think that is why he made no conclusions about obstruction.

[BigmanPigman]

9. I think you may be correct about...

"All of them witches" (oops, I mean Republicans).

[yaesu]

8. party before country, that is the republican way. nt

[barbtries]

10. slithering sychophant.

love that phrase.

i wonder often whether these motherfuckers were sucked into the cult of personality or already fascist authoritarians down to their bones without a drop of allegiance to the constitution or the rule of law. his resignation letter almost makes me believe the former.

[sop]

11. "Slithering sycophant" might be putting it mildly

From Rosenstein's resignation letter:

“I am grateful to you for the opportunity to serve; for the courtesy and humor you often display in our personal conversations; and for the goals you set in your inaugural address: patriotism, unity, safety, education and prosperity...”

“Our nation is safer, our elections are more secure, and our citizens are better informed about covert foreign influence efforts and schemes to commit fraud, steal intellectual property, and launch cyberattacks..."

The guy must be angling for a cabinet post.
