Gregg Jarrett: In Russia collusion hoax, Rod Rosenstein must be held accountable for his flagrant misconduct
Fox News ^ | May 29, 2020 | Gregg Jarrett

Posted on 05/29/2020 10:34:36 AM PDT by jazusamo

Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is a master of prevarication and deflection. He holds an M.S. in BS and a Ph.D. in vacuous excuses. He’s a professor emeritus of duplicity and deception. As a prodigious suck-up, he’s the Eddie Haskell of lawyers.

We can expect Rosenstein’s skill set to be on full display Wednesday when he finally and belatedly appears before the Senate Judiciary Committee as its first witness in an investigation into the origins and evolution of the fallacious Trump-Russia collusion probe.

During his ignominious tenure at the Justice Department, Rosenstein was at the center of the Russia hoax, pulling the investigatory levers of manipulation over an imaginary collusion conspiracy that eventually went bust. But not before incalculable damage was done to the Trump presidency, government institutions and America’s faith in our system of justice.

Before his departure from the Justice Department in May 2019, Rosenstein consistently spurned most attempts by Congress to explain his inexplicable actions and shady tactics. He was a profile in cowardice. Perhaps now he will be held to account. It won’t be easy.

When the truth is at issue, Rosenstein is as slippery as an eel. He’s deathly allergic to personal and professional responsibility. Everyone else is to blame. When in doubt, deny it ever happened. In Rosenstein’s orbit, integrity is a mythical platitude.

FBI Investigation Was Illegitimate

Rosenstein’s testimony comes at a critical juncture. Just recently, the FBI document that launched the Trump-Russia witch hunt was declassified and made public. The FBI Electronic Communication (EC) dated July 31, 2016, identifies not a single scrap of plausible evidence that justified the bureau’s investigation of the Trump campaign.

“must be held accountable...”

How? Please give us an outline of how that can be done.

Rats have immunity and are never held accountable for anything. I’m sure it is in a law somewhere.

Let’s see. The Democrats blamed the Russians for their loss. Should Biden win do you think they’ll forget? Even if they’re rooting for the rats. Then there’s the Chicoms. They know who is tough on them and who they’ll walk over. Benghazi proved it.

Devious thinking:

Is this Rosenstein issue serious enough to instigate (Hillary style) these riots, directly via Derek Chauvin, in order to take the spotlight off Rosenstein?

Or was this incident just the ‘crisis’ not to waste, the one the ‘MSM news’ picked to focus on for the same purpose?

Or?

Especially since Congress is not a law enforcement body.

technically, Rosenstein is not a DemocRAT - he is more aptly described as a weasel, changing sides when he sees an advantage. That actually makes him very vulnerable. The powers that be on the Dem side would gladly heap all their sins on Rosenstein and sacrifice him to help save their own.

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

Likewise, we can expect to see Republican weakness and ineptitude on display. Rosenweasel will run circles around the lame senators who have no interest in exposing the Deep State.

This will be a complete waste of time and another pathetic episode of useless political theater.

Rod is likely to throw everybody under the bus, that he was just acting upon what subordinates were telling him.
