Rosen Takes Over Justice Department as Acting Attorney General
The Epoch Times ^ | 12/24/20 | IVAN PENTCHOUKOV

Posted on 12/24/2020 10:07:11 AM PST by spacejunkie2001

Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen became the head of the Department of Justice on Dec. 24, a day after the departure of former Attorney General William Barr.

Rosen’s tenure began at a time of heightened tensions between the White House and the Justice Department over the handling of several matters of crucial interest to President Donald Trump, including prospective investigations into voter fraud, an ongoing inquiry into the financial dealings of former Vice President Joe Biden’s son and the special counsel investigation of Obama administration’s spying on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.

Barr announced his resignation in a letter on Dec. 14 in which he praised Trump for accomplishing what he has in the face of intense partisan interference from within the government.

“Your 2016 victory speech in which you reached out to your opponents and called for working together for the benefit of the American people was immediately met by a partisan onslaught against you in which no tactic, no matter how abusive and deceitful, was out of bounds,” Barr wrote. “The nadir of this campaign was the effort to cripple, if not oust, your Administration with frenzied and baseless accusations of collusion with Russia.”

Barr was in his own way every bit as bad as Sessions. He slow walked anything that would have hurt the rats, ran out the clock and waited until it was too late for anyone to step in and do anything and then left. A riino/rat soldier of the worst kind.

I was looking for an article I read the other day that said Rosen would be a real champion for our effort to fight voter fraud but can’t find it. It actually could have been a tweet but....can’t remember :)

Regardless, I sure hope he turns out better than Sessions and Barr, both totally worthless.

> Barr........a frigging MAJOR disappointment. <

Among Trump’s major appointments only Mike Pompeo at State seems to have worked out. I find the whole thing very puzzling.

Take, for example, John Bolton. Trump freely appointed Bolton National Security Advisor. Then later Trump called him “one of the dumbest people in Washington”.

I just can’t square that circle.

Barr was a negotiated deal. Between Trump and the DS DOJ. Barr was to get rid of muller.... which he did.... and in return no DS criminals go to jail.... which he did. What I always ask is WHO brought Barr and this deal to Trump to make? My guess is Lindsay Graham.

He will have to continue to deal with the same DC Lifers that answer the phones, screen his email, schedule his meetings, conferences and phone calls, and place his mail on his desk.

Bill Barr did his best in a system that is rigged to perpetuate the status quo and its own existence.

When we pi$% on the likes of Sessions and Barr its EXACTLY what the faceless DC bureaucrats expect and need to have happen lest we all cotton into the game and really show up to do something about it.

Agree with your comment. If Trump failed in appointing people to do this job, who could do it?

Barr was more fundamentally corrupt than Sessions. CIA drug running, 9/11 and other Bush coverups, etc.

One of things Trump has done a great job with is drawing the Deep Staters, RINOs and America-haters out of the dark and expose them to the light of day for who they really are.

Trump has been such a breath of fresh air where everybody is not covering for everybody else and no one wants to make waves or upset the apple cart. He points them out or corners them into exposing themselves in public for all to see.

But he's only been able to do this at his own peril. The cockroaches still scurry when he turns the lights on. Good for him.

One question - and one only - for Cohen: Special prosecutor, yes or no?

Apparently Bolton never med a soldier he didn’t want to send to his death overseas in a war.

It's perplexing. Pres. Trump is a very, very smart man, and historically has been very hard to fool. I'm just speculating here, but I'm wondering if the majority of "unwise" appointments deceived him by being on their best behavior until the appointment, after which they felt free to show their true colors.

It's also possible that like some of us (myself included) were, he was swayed in part by "name recognition".
