Or he’s trying to rack up brownie points as quickly as possible.
my thoughts exactly- tryign to avoid being ivnestigated himself
Yep. CYA
#2. I’ll take “Brownie Points” for “Get Out of Jail Card”, Alex.
Can’t trust this guy. He’s as slippery as a snake in a can of lard.
He needs to be brought before grand juries where he can’t take the 5th. After they finish with him, assuming the US Attorney doing the questioning, he’s going to need to drink a FIFTH.
The choices about his terrible behavior on the Mueller Witchhunt range from:
* Totally Incompetent
* Totally Uncomprehending
* Totally corrupt
* Totally Deep State Anti-Trump hater and maestro
* Played the Orchestra Maestro but at a distance. Wanted “plausible deniability” or “deniable plausibility”
* Any combination of the above and whatever else you can think of.
“Or he’s trying to rack up brownie points as quickly as possible.”
He is contending for one of the “get out of jail free” cards.
Re your brownie points comment:
I’m guessing here, because we don’t have the whole Rosenstein story, but I think the key to his behavior is that he is a careerist. He adjusts his activities in accordance with the prevailing wind.
Going along with that conjecture, I’d bet that Rod would be singing a different tune if he thought Trump was going to be out in 2020. Then, resistance and legal foot-dragging could lead him to play the Dem hero role. He’s decided that’s not the way the wind is blowing.
Obviously, still a guess.
