Rod Rosenstein throws a spanner in the Democratic message machine
washington examiner ^ | 5/21/2018 | tom rogan

Posted on 05/21/2018 10:04:57 AM PDT by bitt

Many have laughed at Trump's concerns, but on Sunday, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein gave momentum to President Trump's belief that the FBI may have spied on his 2016 presidential campaign for political reasons. Rosenstein did so by ordering the Justice Department's inspector general to investigate whether there has been "impropriety or political motivation" in the FBI's Trump-related investigations.

Trump had called for just this kind of investigation earlier on Sunday with the following tweet:

I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes - and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration! 1:37 PM - May 20, 2018

At some point the smaller people on the left who have been covering for the deep state will realize they will be going to jail and will roll over. Soon after, the big dogs will slip under the bus to save the party.

Exactly. This is Barney Fife covering his a$$

Eggszactly!
Plus, the IG report will take forever to complete and has no real legal enforcement power...it only produces a report.
Yawn

An IG inspection is nothing. This needs a special counsel to investigate everything—including Rosenstein. Do a top down investigation of DOJ/FBI. With teeth to prosecute, convict, and jail them all.

The Democrats have a lot bigger problem right now than just “their message.” They are rapidly becoming a criminal enterprise - a political mafia. That won’t end well - for them, or for everyone else in the country who may have to participate in their physical destruction if they keep pushing along these lines.

Horowitz’ report deals with HRC kid-glove treatment. The two topics are not related to one another, at least directly.

According to leaked reports about the IG report, it will say poor Hillary was harmed by the FBI delays on handling the case.

How rich that the slow as molasses DOJ IG will chide someone else for a slow investigation!

No catch 22. The status quo remains.

Rosenslime had to comply with a direct order from Trump. Otherwise Trump could fire him for insubordination like he did with yates.

So rosenslime delegated the mission to the IG instead of a prosecutor. It will take months to conclude and the muler witch hunt goes on.

It’s the kibbles they eat with their tea.

He thinks he's watching webinars on fighting deep-state corruption. Nobody has the nerve to tell him that the Decades Channel was running a Hawaii Five-O marathon over the weekend.

Why Rosenstein?? Is he the Attorney General now? This is ridiculous.

I guess “monkey wrench” is no longer politically-correct?

It's too 'Murican. Unsophisticated, you know.

‘’Spanner’’ is a word the British use for a crescent wrench.

“I guess “monkey wrench” is no longer politically-correct?”

Using spanner instead of “monkey wrench” often comes from a Brit, some Aussies and some Canadians.

Yeah, I didn’t notice it was Tom Rogen.

Had I, I would have not been surprised.
