Wallace: Rosenstein Issued 'Weak, Lawyerly' Denial of Bombshell NYT Report
Fox News ^ | September 21, 2018 | As seen on Shepard Smith Reporting

Posted on 09/21/2018 1:34:22 PM PDT by conservative98

Wallace said he views the statement from Rosenstein as "very weak," and written in a "lawyerly" fashion.

"I think it's very careful," said Wallace, adding that Rosenstein only asserted there is "no basis" currently for the 25th Amendment to be considered.

He said Rosenstein did not specifically say anything about whether he discussed wearing a "wire" or brought up the 25th Amendment.

Wallace said the story will raise questions about Rosenstein's frame of mind right around the time he appointed Special Counsel Robert Mueller to investigate potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Jon Scott noted that, according to The Washington Post, Rosenstein's statements were documented in memos written by then-FBI Acting Director Andrew McCabe.

"This is a Rubik's Cube of political motivation here," said Wallace, noting that McCabe is under criminal investigation by the Justice Department.

Rosenstein’s denial in the face of written contemporaneous claim by McCabe is the sort of thing that Rosenstein prosecutes people for.

And now that we know mccabe wrote a whole series of memos and the FBI still has them, they need to be released to congress.

Why?

This mueller coup was orchestrated from the get-go. This wasn’t just rosenstein or his frame of mind.

Here’s an idea

Trump should fire Rosenstein, for breaking the law, specifically basis the NY Times and WaPo articles. Treat them as gospel truth

Is there no point at which Trump will fire this little prick?

The New York Times’s story is inaccurate and factually incorrect,” Rosenstein

“I categorically and unequivocally deny this allegation. I did not do this back in high school or at any time,” Kavanaugh

Quite a difference in the denials.

rosenslime sounds a lot like hillerie

But Trump has already agreed to redact the documents before release.

*******************

He backed off because of concerns from DOJ and our supposed allies. At this point I have no idea what Trump is going to do or not do. Its a confusing mess to be honest.

Meaning ‘rosenstein and his frame of mind’ was not the sole cause of the mueller coup. This was/is a MASSIVE conspiracy going all the way to O’muslim/Hillary et al. Planned far in advance.

I think they are all about to be exposed and it’s every man for himself as the ship sinks. McCabe leaked his own memos to make RR look crazy
