Sessions has a man-crush on Rosenstein:
‘Attorney General Jeff Sessions praised Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on Tuesday, calling his second-in-command a “great deputy attorney general.”
After Rosenstein introduced the attorney general at the National Summit on Crime Reduction and Public Safety in Bethesda, Md., Sessions thanked him for the warm welcome.
“Warmed the cockles of my heart,” Sessions said. “Wasn’t that [the] Churchill saying, whatever it means? So Rod, thank you for those kind words and for your leadership and your decades-long commitment to fighting crime and seeking justice.”’
That’s boilerplate greetings and salutations stuff. I’d like to see where Sessions “played a significant role in the selection of Rosenstein”.
