No. The order is ...
Looking at that chart, McCabe is gone, and that leaves Comey & Rosenstein in between AG Sessions.
Comey & Rosenstein getting trapped in a pincer move?
“No. The order is ...
DOJ
AG Sessions
DAG Rosenstein
FBI
Director Comey
Deputy Director McCabe”
DAG vs AAG.
Notable to me at least, that even now Sundance refered to Rosenstein, as AAG, not DAG. I wholeheartedly agree with that connotation.
I am waiting to be convinced that Sessions is anywhere near off the Rosenstein short chain.
Sessions has been reduced to nothing above the “announcer”, at the Department.
He never convinces anyone that he is able to *independently* take any initiative. Speaking always in terms of “we”, or the “department”, that there is a lot of “counsel” going on, and he will be taking this or that, under “advisement”.
His embarrassing fumble as a witness before the Judicial Committee and the Intel Committee proved in kleg lights that he doesn’t know what to say, of even knows the inside of what is going on, in the Rosenstein loop.
Roseenstein is not stupid. He may very well see the walls closing in, and he may have finally okayed the outside prosecutor coming in to take a peek at the corruption going on at the FBI and JD.
