Rosenstein: Trump did not direct feds to investigate Clinton

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in a Sunday interview said President Trump has not directed the Justice Department to “investigate particular people.”

During an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” host Chris Wallace asked Rosenstein if he viewed Trump’s recent comment that prosecutors should be probing Hillary Clinton’s deleted emails as an order.

Trump tweeted about the need for more investigation last Saturday, directing his comments toward Attorney General Jeff Sessions and special counsel Robert Mueller.

"No, Chris. I view what the president says publicly as something he said publicly,” Rosenstein responded.

“If the president wants to give orders to us in the department, he gives that to us privately. And then if we have any feedback, we provide it to him," he continued.

1. Why would Rosenstein go on fake new?

The lies keep coming.

4. Yeah, but why even go on real news? I think it would be better to stick to issuing an official

press release if he feels the record needs correcting or something. Or he could hold a press conference.

2. Rosenstein better be careful

We don't want piglet Trump labeling you a showboat as an excuse to fire you.

3. will anyone ask his dumbfuck supporters about this

they cheer him on as he attacks clinton and called for investigation but has done nothing as president to do it.

not that it will make much difference. they will just make something up and keep cheering him on and calling to lock her up.

ignorant dumbfuck assholes.

7. Read it closely. It wasn't exactly a denial.

It was a segue from specifics to generalities, from substance to process, from
a question about private matters to public policy, and then back to private process.
