Indeed, I am wondering WHO suggested Rosenstein for the job.
I will give Obama a lot of credit where it is due - he made sure his cronies and fellow travelers were in the DOJ, and thus, the FBI. There is NO WAY Eric Holder would appoint someone unknown or untrusted to a position where that person would set off a wide-ranging special counsel investigation against Obama. The DOJ of course is supposed to be “above reproach” in its neutrality, but we all know it is not. Given its extremely broad powers, it never can be. Perhaps only Republicans are that naive.
Obama’s DOJ was his political operations and community organizing HQ. He made sure of it.
Ronald Tenpas of the Morgan, Lewis & Bockius law firm. Chris Christie brought Tenpas on to the Trump transition team, altough Morgan-Lewis have been Trump's tax lawyers too.
