Rod Rosenstein Rebukes Democrats and Mainstream Media

Calls Democrats accusations against William Barr's handling of Mueller report "Completely Bizarre"

==========================================================

Since Robert Mueller turned in his report to AG William Barr, the Democrats and the leftist media had accused Barr of “covering up evidence of collusion” between Trump and Russia. However, Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein finds the accusations bizarre and strange.

Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein on Thursday endorsed Attorney General William Barr against allegations that he is misleading Congress and the public about Robert Mueller’s Russia report.

Rosenstein said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal that “He’s (William Barr) being as forthcoming as he can, and so this notion that he’s trying to mislead people, I think is just completely bizarre.”

Sadly, the Democrats have accused Barr of misleading the public with false information about Robert Mueller’s findings from his 2 1/2 year investigation, which explored the possibility of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials. Also, the probe was to determine whether President Trump obstructed justice by firing James Comey.

Oddly enough, the Democrats were calling for the firing of James Comey after Trump won the presidency in 2016. However, because it was Trump that fired him, the Democrats claimed that Trump was “obstructing justice.”

Barr sent a letter to Congress on March 24 saying that Mueller was unable to prove that collusion occurred–vindicating President Trump on the obstruction of justice accusations. Barr said that Mueller declined to make a decision one way or the other on whether to recommend an indictment against Trump.

What the left refuses to realize is that you can’t obstruct justice when there was no crime in the first place. Yet, it doesn’t stop the leftist media from reporting and attacking Barr anyway.

Moreover, Jerry Nadler is now calling for Barr to release the unredacted Mueller report to Congress and allow them to decide what to release to the public and what to redact. Nadler knows that Barr can’t do that. There is information in the report that would expose jurors and other innocent people.

Not only can’t Barr release the full report, but it is against the law to do so. The Democrats know this. They only want the full report so they can leak it to the media. Barr won’t let that happen.

I’m think he just figured out that he was left to be one of the fall guys for the whole unlawful surveillance, since he put his name on one of the FISA warrants, and so now he is out to save his own skin.

No, they want him to say he can't release the full report, so they can continue to blame everything on him and Trump.

That way, they can, without evidence, continue to malign Trump, Barr and conservatives as racists, bigots, etc.

They (Dems) don't want the truth. They only want an issue that they can use to bludgeon conservatives with, as their cheerleaders in the media spur them on.

“Somebody, we don’t know who yet, informed President Trump, then candidate, that Trump Tower had been bugged and they moved campaign functions out of there pronto.

Somebody, we don’t know who yet, kept newly elected President Trump constantly informed of what was happening within the FBI.”

Admiral Michael Rogers informed President Trump of the surveillance of Trump Tower.

Trump was being informed about activity in the FBI. It is almost certain that it was not only one person keeping him informed. It is almost certain that it was several people.

A sniveling little brownnosing weasel.

Say whatever he has to say or suck-up to whomever to save his position.

As much of a whacko as John Brennan is, at least he has the b@lls to stand by his decision to go after Trump, and would probably be OK taking a bullet for it. Warped, but principled.

Lots of stuff we don’t know, but look at how scarcely a day goes by without another piece or two of the puzzle being revealed.

Waiting is a lot more productive than wild-guessing.

Why did he retire, seemingly a bit suddenly, if he knew all this nefarious stuff was going on behind Trump’s back?

Why did he not stay and fight for the truth to come out and protect the POTUS from the coup?................

Rod Rosenstein is an enigma.

Is he the leaker?

Is he a ‘white hat’ or a ‘black hat’?

Is he the whistle-blower or the spy/informant?............


How about the star witness for the prosecution against the conspirators who committed treason?

Rod looks, sounds and acts like a weasel. But I’ll keep an open mind.

Back in April 2018 Rod gave his first argument in front of the Supreme Court. Trump gave him a pen as a gift. Yes their relationship is a weird one.

It’s simple really. The democrats have nothing to present that is a winning proposition. They must try to keep the Russian hoax alive.

All is lost
