There’s no politics here. Washington DC is comprised of magnanimous institutions filled with exceptionally moral people who commit their lives to a career of public service on behalf of this nation. So sayeth Rod Rosenstein as he takes up a defensive position against the vulgarian horde who do not cherish their rulers with enough reverence, or something like that.
As the story is told, there are only honorable and altruistic officials within the institutions of the U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation. The examples of Robert Mueller, Christopher Wray, Merrick Garland and both special counsels Smith and Hur are presented as evidence to highlight the great fortune of an ungrateful nation.
If Washington DC is a bubble, the great pretending Bubble Boy is Rod Rosenstein. WATCH (or, transcript Below):
[Transcript] – CHUCK TODD: And joining me now is the former Deputy Attorney General under President Trump, Rod Rosenstein. The newly-appointed special counsel looking into Biden, Robert Hur, served as Rosenstein’s top aide in the Justice Department, overseeing the special counsel investigation into the Russian election interference. Mr. Rosenstein, welcome to Meet the Press.
ROD ROSENSTEIN: Thank you. Glad to be here, Chuck.
CHUCK TODD: In December, after the appointment of the Trump special counsel, when asked whether you would’ve done it, you said you probably wouldn’t have. How about this Biden special counsel?
ROD ROSENSTEIN: Yeah, I think, Chuck, having made the appointment in the Trump case, Merrick Garland put himself in a position where he really had no choice when this matter came along, unless the preliminary inquiry were to establish that there was no chance that a crime had been committed. And according to what we’ve heard, John Lausch did not make that decision.
CHUCK TODD: Do you believe that appointing a special counsel strengthens the Trump special counsel, and strengthens their ability to come to different conclusions? Or does it muddy the waters?
ROD ROSENSTEIN: I think, Chuck, you have to differentiate between the political consequences and the practical consequences for the special counsel. For Jack Smith and Rob Hur, they’re conducting independent investigations. They’re going to go evaluate the facts and the law, make their recommendation based upon what they find. So I don’t anticipate that the existence of two special counsels is going to influence the way either one of them goes about their jobs.
CHUCK TODD: To the public it appears – I had somebody use this metaphor with me, and I want to use it, there are two car wrecks: one clearly is an accident, one appears to be intentional. Is that a fair way to look at these two classified document situations?
ROD ROSENSTEIN: I think, Chuck, we should wait until we know the facts. You know, the key fact with regard to the Biden documents, of course, is what did the president know about those documents? Was he aware that they’d been moved? Did he, in any case, in the past five years, has he handled those documents? Was he aware of them? We just don’t know that yet. So I think even that we really can’t speculate, just based on what’s been public record.
CHUCK TODD: Tell me your confidence level in Jack Smith and in Robert Hur.
ROD ROSENSTEIN: Well, these are two professionals who spent extended amounts of time in the Department of Justice. They understand that their goal is to focus on the facts, and law, and apply department policy. And both of these men are not going to be influenced by political pressure.
CHUCK TODD: You feel that they’re both – you said something intriguing to me. You said, “You know, every special counsel starts with sterling credentials, and then the public gets a hold of them.” But would you say that’s the case with both of these gentlemen?
ROD ROSENSTEIN: It’s certainly true of these gentlemen, as it was with people like Ken Starr and and Bob Mueller, that you pick people with sterling reputations who are known for being nonpartisan. But you’re in the political arena where it’s inevitable you’re going to be attacked.
CHUCK TODD: There’s two sort of unique defenses in each of these cases that I’m curious your take on. One is Donald Trump’s claim that he could declassify anything he wanted. Now, he’s not made a legal claim that he did that. And the second is, Joe Biden’s currently president. So is it currently illegal for him to have classified documents in his possession, even if it’s at his home, next to his Corvette?
ROD ROSENSTEIN: Well, that’s one of the questions the special counsel will have to look into. And in addition, you know, the legal status of the vice president, whether or not he has authority to make any declassification decisions. But the key question, the threshold question here is going to be: was President Biden aware of those classified documents?
CHUCK TODD: And how does that get proven? Do you think he’s going to have to sit for an interview?
ROD ROSENSTEIN: Well, that would be a logical step if I were conducting this investigation. I want to go right to the source and ask the president directly whether or not he was aware of those documents.
CHUCK TODD: A sitting president can’t be indicted, according to the Justice Department. So let’s say something is found, what would happen?
ROD ROSENSTEIN: You know, Chuck, I think what should happen in a special counsel investigation is that the special counsel should evaluate the facts and the law, look at Department of Justice policies, and make a recommendation to the attorney general about whether or not prosecution is warranted. Then it’s up to the attorney general to make the decision whether to apply that DOJ policy.
CHUCK TODD: Alright. If you were – you had been in this similar situation. It’s November 4th, it’s four days before the elections. The National Archives informs you that, “Hey, you know, President Biden has just turned over some classified documents that he had in his possession.” Is it too close to the election to tell people? Is that why the Justice Department didn’t inform folks publicly? Is it too soon? Are there questions that should be raised about this or not?
ROD ROSENSTEIN: Chuck, it’s not the Justice Department’s job to make public announcements like that. The decision about whether or not to go public would be left to the president and the White House. So I would not anticipate the Justice Department under any circumstances to make a public announcement about something like that.
CHUCK TODD: You wouldn’t have done that in that similar situation?
ROD ROSENSTEIN: In the Justice Department I would not have publicized it, no.
CHUCK TODD: I am curious. There’s a lot of new committees on the Hill that want to investigate some Justice Department practices. And some of these are for current investigations. You essentially said, you know, no, when you were there and others, you didn’t turn stuff over to Congress in active investigations. Do you expect Merrick Garland to do the same?
ROD ROSENSTEIN: I think the bright line, Chuck, is not to turn over anything that’s going to in any way interfere with the investigation. And so that’s a decision the department needs to make in addressing each request as it comes along. There are legitimate congressional oversight requirements that the department can accommodate. But there really is a bright line when it comes to anything that might interfere with the investigation.
CHUCK TODD: So the fact that they have already sent letters demanding certain things now, in your mind there’s nothing Justice can do until they’re done with this investigation, correct?
ROD ROSENSTEIN: I wouldn’t say that. I mean, there are, as I said, legitimate oversight issues that can be resolved without interfering with the investigation. So for example, one bright line would be investigating the prosecutor while the case is ongoing. I think that’s a place where the department would need to draw a line.
CHUCK TODD: Let’s go back in time. In hindsight, doing special counsels, is this the slippery slope that many previous attorneys generals have always feared, that once you appoint one you essentially can’t stop appointing them? Once you claim there’s a rationale of a perception of unfairness, aren’t you stuck, basically, appointing them throughout the rest of the term?
ROD ROSENSTEIN: Yeah, that was true, Chuck, under the independent counsel statute, where there was actually a statutory obligation to appoint an independent counsel. It’s not true under the special counsel guidelines. It’s always left to the discretion of the Attorney General to decide whether the public interest warrants it in that particular case. So I do think when you have a similar case, as you do with the Trump and Biden documents, that you have established a precedent. But I don’t know that you need to apply that universally.
CHUCK TODD: I ask that because a decision was made last year not to appoint a special counsel on the Hunter Biden investigation. But now he has appointed a special counsel to look into Joe Biden and these classified documents. Merrick Garland made the decision to put both January 6 and the classified documents under the umbrella of one special counsel. Is he going to be forced to do the same thing with Hunter Biden?
ROD ROSENSTEIN: Well, I think you need to distinguish Hunter Biden from President Biden. We don’t know whether that Hunter Biden implicates the president in any wrongdoing. If it did, I think Merrick Garland would need to make that decision. But as long as it’s just about Hunter Biden, I don’t think that decision point will be reached.
CHUCK TODD: There’s a lot of criticism on Capitol Hill of the FBI. You worked pretty closely with Christopher Wray. What say you about Christopher Wray?
ROD ROSENSTEIN: I think Christopher Wray is doing a superb job under very challenging circumstances. You know, this criticism of the FBI has been ongoing for some time. But if you look at the work the Bureau is doing on a day-to-day basis, I think the American people should have confidence in what they’re doing. And I think Chris Wray is the right person to be in that job now.
CHUCK TODD: Judging by our political climate of the last decade, do we have to figure out another way to politically appoint members of the Justice Department? Or do you think we can get through this moment?
ROD ROSENSTEIN: I don’t think there’s any reason to mess with the appointment process, Chuck. You know, the majority of employees of the department are career employees. The leadership is subject to political appointment, and I think that that’s an appropriate way to manage the department.
CHUCK TODD: All right, Rod Rosenstein, former Deputy Attorney General who’s seen his share of special counsels, and has been through this. Appreciate you coming on–
ROD ROSENSTEIN: Thank you.
This guy likes to flap his lip on fake news TV?
How about going to answer some questions in the House of Representatives?
He’s the real criminal compared to THIS joker back on 1/6/21.
Why, oh why, Brother, would you continue to think testifying before the House still means ANYTHING??
Headlines, clickbait and chest-pounding is ALL you get after the House “investigates.”
Sorry.
Political Theater, nothing more than Social Chin Music: perhaps entertaining but ultimately useless.
The more he proclaimed his honor, the faster we counted the sponns!
Can’t listen to Rod he acts like he is nervous all the time. Sounds a little wired if you ask me
He wanted to wear a wire!! Lol
His is on Cocaine my guess
When listening to Rod speak and the sounds that he makes and his body movements and his ticks and breathing I totally agree he is on something.
Especially when he is in front of the American people along with most of the other (CIA plant against Brett SC justice) they should all be required to drug test when walking in.
Condescending little p***k.
Barney Fife out of uniform? 🙂
I’ll see your Mencken and raise you a Mencken!
“Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”
I came across a Mencken quote, long ago, that the black vote and the Republican vote was redundant.
In the early Twentieth Century, blacks still voted for their man Abraham. I still don’t understand why they have deserted the Republican Party.
The Party of slavery and segregation (Democrats) is somehow now the Party of blacks?
Yeah, no.
My favorite Mencken quote is almost impossible to find.
It was regarding the 1920 Presidential Election. Between 2 Ohio Newspapermen:
Warren G. Harding and James Cox
Mencken:
“It’s a choice between an idiot and a thief”.
( The “thief” he was referring to WASN’T Harding).
More proof these institutions deserve to be permanently culled
Where is Jeff Sessions I want answers
Weird……Lawyers who congratulate each other…..I keep telling you guys where and what the problem is……It’s crystal clear….
There was a time when shysters and Jesuits were banned from serving in government and now we know why.
No thanks. I just ate dinner.
Be not deceived.
In a heartbeat this duplicitous creature would imprison You and I for thinking wrong thoughts.
Then he would think nothing of changing the law to make thinking wrong thoughts punishable by death.
The Holodomor was conducted by men that believed they were morally superior to those they facilitated starving to death.
He has no compunction as he has repeatedly shown he has no conscience. Remember what he did to President Trump.
Yes, the Holodomor was conducted by such men. This is a very very dangerous man.
There are those that don’t want you to know that part of world history, as Holodomor is not recognized as a word. Try typing it anywhere, see what happens. Then ask yourself, why?
Any resemblance to Himmler?
Yes is the short answer, and yes each man has evil in common.
Minus the snappy black uniform.
I just typed the word holodomor and got plenty of results. Please don’t make up stuff. We have more than enough propaganda to deal with.
Rita, you give yourself away. No Rita, the Holodomor is not propaganda, even though you and others would like people to think so.
I did not say you would not find it, I did say it is not a recognized word, which is factually true.
I didn’t make up anything.
Are you related to Rod?
I see your passion for the subject, but I don’t read rita’s post the way you do. You stated “There are those that don’t want you to know that part of world history, as Holodomor is not recognized as a word. Try typing it anywhere, see what happens. Then ask yourself, why?”
I typed a search and got many references. –
https://swisscows.com/en/web?query=Holodomor
Paul, thank you for your reply, and your impression of Rita’s response. While I wish you were correct, the tell is in her accusation of my using propaganda. She is clearly trying to conflate the fact that one will get results by searching for the Holodomor by asserting the Holodomor was propaganda. It is a clever and oft used technique for discrediting known facts and truth. As I replied to her, I did not claim one would not get results, so the use of the word propaganda was inappropriate.
As a matter of fact, part of the objective was to have folks look it up, and hopefully read about it and learn something.
If I was wrong, I would gladly send her a sincere apology, however I am not wrong.
Again, I thank you for taking the time and effort to look it up, and for your thoughtful response.
Her use of the word ‘propaganda’ refers to your statement “Holodomor is not recognized as a word. Try typing it anywhere, see what happens. Then ask yourself, why?””
She wrote three sentences in one paragraph. Perhaps ‘propaganda’ is not the best word. Perhaps you are a bit sensitive with the subject. People write differently, and not always with the same clarity.
This is a post stream, not a face to face debate with facial expressions and voice inflection. I’d cut her some slack.
You did get me to look it up. Stalin was an Anti-Christ. A beast of the most sadistic order.
Thank you Paul for providing the benefit of doubt for Rita.
I will as you have suggested cut her some slack by carefully reviewing any future post by Rita.
Perhaps you are not familiar with discrediting techniques, and whether Rita intended to do so or not, her response was a classic example of a discrediting technique.
I was a reader here for years before I made my first comment, and thus I am familiar with many who post here, including Rita, so I am not unfamiliar with her writing.
Like you, I was a reader for years before I made my first post. Paid more attention to the articles than the posters. I was too busy moderating a political board somewhere else. Just started posting recently. Already made a stir or two. I usually give people a 123 count, unless they go for the jugular right out of the gate. 🙂
May I know where you are a moderator? I would like to check it out.
Yes the articles were and are why I frequent the Treehouse. I do also learn a great deal from folks that post here. Only if I feel a need to contribute do I do so.
I would still like to be wrong about my assessment of Rita’s response. If I can make that determination, I will gladly apologize.
I can also see that as a moderator your approach to give the benefit of doubt would not only be appropriate but also necessary. I find myself thinking that is an inherent part of who you are, in other words a great fit for a moderator.
Now you are making stuff up. “Holodomor” is a recognized word and what you just said is NOT factually true.
Did your search engine except the word holodomor as typed as spelled correctly? If so, please share the search engine you used, and I will confirm your results.
I have used several search engines, and each one treats the word as being misspelled, or one could conclude that it doesn’t exist, so my assertion that it is not a recognized word is correct. If one hits enter, each of the search engines does come up with some information. Coming up with results and excepting a word as correctly spelled are two different things.
Please refrain from accusations such as making things up, as I did no such thing.
Perhaps my response will clear things up, if you are interested in why my statement is factually true. If not, I have learned something about you.
I already know the why. The Holodomor did not exist until the 2000’s when the neo-nazis of Ukraine created it as a new excuse to hate russians. It otherwise was and is classed by historians as one of a number of droughts and famines that occurred in the 1920’s and 1930’s, poorly managed by the new soviet government and its ‘central control’.
Into deception and propaganda much?
The Holodomor is recorded history from Germany, Russia, and Ukraine from the time it occurred, and it can be found in each language.
Funny how the history revisionists are quick to come out of the woodwork when there are inconvenient truths being told.
Is susiejoe your real name. I think not.
Probably not.
It may actually be “her/he” (not that there’s anything wrong with that).
Thank you Rob for your infusion of some humor, in what is otherwise a rather sober subject.
I tend to be the focused and serious one in any given circumstance, so I really, really appreciate being around those who can appropriately lighten things up.
As previously stated, some of the most effective coworkers I have had the privilege of working with, could and would infuse some appropriate humor in what was otherwise sober business meetings. We closed most of those deals.
Thank you, for you brought a much needed smile to me.
Susiejoe? Too “American cute” and condescending. Has to be a bot name.
Yes, something is out of balance there.
The name in and of itself, caused me to ponder the intention of the use of such a name, so it’s comment came as no surprise.
Thank you for responding, and validating along the lines of what I was thinking.
It certainly did exist

Same, same.
More world history, that is rarely taught in the United States.
The United States would be far better served if all of World history were taught, and actual US history for that matter.
The move away from history, both US and World history was not by accident. It was replaced with propaganda called social studies.
Please home school your children, and find old history books that are not revised history, rather accounts from all peoples described. It is vital to read history accounts that are recorded by all involved. The truth can then be more easily discerned.
History is replete with genocide, but the only one that is common knowledge for most Americans is the Holocaust.
Correct, and in order to avoid the past genocide happening in the future, all of it must be exposed and taught for all the world to see.
History is no teacher if only a small part of history is taught.
“Holodomor” is easily found just about everywhere on the internet. I thought it was a place communists kept cigars?
I like a cigar holdamor that holds….. More.
Make mine La Gloria Cubana, Series R, No. 7, 58 ring gauge. Please. 🙂
No communist ceegars for me.
Now that’s funny. Thank you for the laugh. Please see my response to your other reply for an explanation.
Yes, as I stated above the word will yield results if one proceeds in spite of the word being identified as misspelled, when in fact it is spelled correctly.
Does that not make you curious as to why?
I think I’d rather listen to Harris
You mean cackles part two.
One day at least in every week
Grave and growing Russian secret agent threats of every kind
Herrs Muller, Weismann and Rosenstein were sure to seek
And just as damn sure to find
A German and two Russians telling me that we’re the threat!
He is on the same level as smirking Peter Strozk for hypocritical arrogance, he deserves no Trust.
Would you buy a car from this man? Enough said.
Mueller, Weinstein, Rosenstein, Wray, the “Special Council”, the DOJ and the FBI are gang raping and murdering Lady Justice.
Agreed. But you need to add some (maybe lots of) Congressmen — and women — to that mix. (The bidens, obamas and the clintons are already honorary members.)
It’s what GDC’s do.
Oh, Sundance..
I taste something metallic in my mouth.
Instead of the sweet flavor of democracy.
The fascists take their pleasure where they can find it.
Must all fascists look like Rosenstein? Are they being cloned?
I dated pretty blonde girls in high school. I played on the high school basketball team.
Does this pig Rosenstein have any such memories, or does his existence revolve around bringing pain to others?
Just permit others to be happy, Rod. It can be done.
Why are all the Democrats in government positions such liars? Why are they all so truly evil?
Do the Democrats feel the same way about Republicans – that they are all liars and evil?
Remember the overlords are one in the same. Now repeat after me if it looks like a duck if it walks like a duck it’s a duck. Dems and many so called republicans are cut from the same cloth they all nest together.
Yes, I realize that there are Republicans who are just as greedy and corrupt as Democrats. But I’m talking about the view of the rank and file Democrats. Does the propaganda that reaches them show the Republicans as being as evil as we know that the Democrats are?
It’s a Uniparty. As Sundance accurately says –
“The DNC wants power. The RNC wants money. The DNC uses money to get power. The RNC uses power to get money. The ideology of the DNC drives their donor activity. The donor activity of the RNC drives their ideology. This is the only current difference between the two clubs, two wings of the same vulture.”
Rod talking shite with turd Ferguson that’s what I call entertainment.
No one in flyover country gives a wit about what these suits have to say.
anything coming out of Washington is not to be trusted.
…empty suits!
Andrew “Little Goebbels” Weissman, Rod Rodentstain, “Stabby” Stabenow, “Blackhawk” Omar and “Buck” Schiff are all throwing Obiden under the ‘Vette.
Clearly, marching orders have gone out from Barry’s Basement HQ.
Oh they will clear Biden.
They will not hurt him legally but they’re dumping him politically.
Didn’t Biden, one day before his daily meds, say that,
“Nobody F’s with a Biden? As the Australians would say, “He’s gone round the bend.”
M I S I N F O R M A T I O N.
All that I heard from this pair of gasbags was that nobody from within is responsible for the stench emanating from the doj/fblie.
Sorry, I’m not buying what they’re selling & I’m not alone.
once you see the strings…
🤮
He is what he is
Yes, vermin — both of them.
Lol they have no concept of honor!
It’s barbaric to them.
They only worship themselves and mammon.
does anyone in DC deserve a mouthful of knuckles more than rod wankenstein
And a sack full of doorknobs.
Quick, someone count the spoons.
Chuck and Rod. Turds of a feather flock together.
The FBI used to be a “magnanimous institutions filled with exceptionally moral people who commit their lives to a career of public service on behalf of this nation”. That was a long time ago. Profoundly sad to write this.
Thanks for the transcript. No way I could actually listen to UpChuck Todd without, well, throwing up.
CHUCK TODD: To the public it appears – I had somebody use this metaphor with me, and I want to use it, there are two car wrecks: one clearly is an accident, one appears to be intentional. Is that a fair way to look at these two classified document situations?
ROD ROSENSTEIN: I think, Chuck, we should wait until we know the facts.
UPCHUCK: I’m not saying it, but someone did, isn’t Trump guilty as sin and Biteme an unfortunate victim of circumstance?
ROD: I’m not saying it, but wait until our angelic team makes that finding!
Rosenstein is disgusting and a lying 🤥 pig bag of 💩!
I know criminals with better morals than Rosenstein! He’s as sleazy as it gets!!
SC is where the truth goes to die and covered up.
Rodney ‘Rat Face’ Rosenschwien. I had hoped to have seen the last of this little turd, that he would have slinked off underneath the dumpster and into a hole. The MSM is in flames and heading for the ground at an alarming rate, and they don’t even know it while they stroke each other under the table. May this subhuman filth be cleansed from the Earth.
Sides have been chosen, the lines have been drawn. Deal the cards, and let’s get this show on the road to Hell!
“Are you not entertained? Are you NOT entertained??!!?” – Maximus Decimus Meridius
Lol
The great pretending Bubble Boy…
That made me throw up a bit.
Chuck Turd is a FILTHY LIBERAL insufferable hack. RR kept saying what the lie they said about Kankles. Was Biden “AWARE” these documents were there? IT DOESN”T MATTER. It’s illegal, and someone has to Sign out an SCI document, like a library book, Document control would know these were in Joes possession with his library card. gaslighting 101. LIES.
Plenary Power “Trumps” any of their BS claims.
VP have no Power to declassify, and clearly someone was reading them, if they were found in different spots of the “home”.
It was hard to listen to that FILTHY smug ahole. You can pick which one I’m talking about.
The next speaker will be Benedict Arnold defending the graciousness and charity of the British Empire.
There has only been one legitimate SC and that was Kenneth Star going after a true liar and criminal.
Boston Bobby should have been disqualified because he was just the demented figure head behind the POS Andrew Wiseman and the other Anti American shysters
Uses the term “bright line” several times as a differential as to which info/docs may be held back or handed over to congressional oversight committees.
What my mind’s eye sees is a Geiger counter of sorts, held over a stack of classified info. Too hot? Red bulb flashes!? “Nyet, no f***ing way you’re getting your hands on these”.
Totally up to the discretion of the DOJ. Of course.
This man does not have a conscience.
He is an evil man who operates from only pain/pleasure principle. His will is twisted.
I find him frightening in his demeaner. Just like the nazis, he’d easily destroy anyone out of the power principle-because he can.
If I needed Rod Rosenstein to defend my honor, I’d just throw in the towel and ride off into the sunset.
Nope.
Not a single one of them is doing it for personal profit, personal gain, or personal power.
Saints, every one of them.
In fact, we should be grateful to have these bloodsuckers attached to our collective buttocks.
Nathan Thurm.
The “Team” isn’t as big as we thought it was. The same tired faces keep stepping up to bat.
Rod we forgot about you but now that your here, what about U1, James Comey and the way that you rat fkd Sessions.
Some are forgetting that these people, (some might call them the secret society, Hillary, Rosenstein, Weissman, etc.) communicate via news interviews… most likely with code words, etc. It’s harder to track that way.
Rodentstain and F. Chuck Fraud are wearing purple ties.
The amazing thing to me, from an optics standpoint is that he is a pretty good verbal liar (short clipped yet seemingly informative and candid answers) yet the visuals are of a terrified deer in headlights mendacious weasel.
Fascinating fella. Much like mccabe strzok comey mueller. Some just amazingly wacky fakers.
These boys and girls work for the government. Please don’t try to persuade about government service. They make good money, have way too much authority, some of which is self-delegated. And way too much power. Government service is an oxymoron. We’re from the government and we’re here to help? Right! And the bridge in Brooklyn and ocean-front property in Arizona. All of it is BS.
Can’t name two voices I despise hearing more.
What about this other weasel?
(Thanks mods!)
Ah, the Father of the Color Revolutions. Talk about someone who was locker stuffed and received innumerable swirlies during their compulsory education years.
My intolerance grows ever stronger.
We still have fascists like Rod Rosenstein?
The American liberal democratic paradigm cannot be surpassed.
I await the ironically contradictory institute of a totally tolerant State. The world badly needs the attempt at such an exercise in splendid liberalism.
Say anything, and we will show tolerance: surely better than the measured tolerance of the State.
You don’t like what I have to say? So what?
I remain a champion of such insouciance.
Rosenstein puts on a convincing Jeff Sessions-like “trust the institution” act … until he pretends not to know Hunter’s laptop implicates the Big Guy.
Didn’t Rod Rosenstein know in January 2017 that the Russian Collusion Dossier was a hoax because the guy who wrote it told the FBI it was a hoax? Why do these people pretend that they don’t know something!
There are thirteen heroes whose sacrifice requires a priority investigation by the House of Representatives. Biden’s abuse of the classified records system, together with the similar misconduct of Blinken and Sullivan, will all come to light when a serious, after-action examination is conducted on the failed mission that was the US armed forces retreat from Kabul, Afghanistan in August 2021. All this about Biden’s corvette is bullsh_t.
Who do they think is going to believe this guy. To everyone I know if this scum endorses the “special” counsel, he is dirty.
LOL! Yeah…send Rod Rosenstein to restore America’s faith in the DOJ! ROFL!
Oh darn, I was hoping he was tucked away in a hole somewhere- never to be seen again. 😒
He should be.
Yes. In Florence Colorado
The whole recusal of Sessions, and the appointment of rosenstain was a disgusting event that should NOT have been allowed to happen. Wasn’t little rodney married to lisa barsoomian, who served barack hussein by fighting against FOIA requests?? I would appreciate a legal type commenting on whether that relationship would constitute a potential conflict of interest, as identified in the Federal Code of Ethics. Or would the failure to properly investigate the “Russkie, Russkie, Russkie farce”, or the failure to investigate hunter’s laptop, or the failure to assess the FISA warrants just be considered to be a “dereliction of duty”?? IMESHO, the action, or lack of action, by rodney needs to be investigated as part of the House review of the attacks on PRESIDENT TRUMP, the best POTUS since Washington. IMESHO, he looks like a wimp, with a personality to match.
Rosenstein is an inveterate liar, and is emblematic of why the DOJ and FBI has to be “reformed” if it is to continue existing.
Both are hopelessly corrupted.
How deep is that proverbial hole? Six feet or so? Asking for a friend.
I’d say 12’… precautionary measures matter! 😉
Ever see Monty python skit with the lumberjack? He thinks being a lumberjack makes him “butch” while he sings of doing “gay” actions.
Rod thinks because of his position he is clean not that he did all the wrong, he can’t see or understand that.
Lol!
True. I remember how adamant he was that in signing off on the FISA warrants, etc., he had no responsibility to read or consider the supporting material for basis.
Bonus points if you know who that song was written about…
A six foot hole.
People like him reminds me of what a really rotten bad cop that should never have even close to being a cop is.
Hard to decide which one looks more like the lower male appendage with ears
Decisions, decisions…
“And I think Chris Wray is the right person to be in that job now.”
But look what you’re thinking with, Rodney, a treacherous deep state mind.
For what their goals are, Wray is absolutely the guy to have. He just doesn’t elaborate about what “that job” entails.
