Not accepting Rosenstein’s resignation is a huge mistake. It would be interesting to know who (if anyone) advised it.
Recall that Rosenstein recommended Comey be fired. I think this was carefully planned theater. The Russia Narrative was losing steam and they needed to create an ongoing aura of wrongdoing. Comey could not appoint a special council, Rosenstein could. Getting Comey fired would feed the “obstruction” sub-narrative of the Russia Narrative and would create the optics needed to bull through the appointment of a special council. It worked. Rosenstein picked Mueller, with whom Comey has coordinated his Congressional testimony.
The history of these three together, the blatant collusion of Mueller and Comey, the improper appointment of a special council, Mueller’s investigation of things far outside the scope of Rosenstein’s improperly created special council, Mueller staffing up with Democrat bundlers and Clinton Foundation lawyers....
This is disgusting. Mueller and Rosenstein have ZERO credibility.
Right, so step 1 fire the Rat mole Rosenstein. just do it and do it now. Why can’t they see this?
Recall also that Comey testified that his intention was to leak so that a special council would be created.
