— If the others lied to him, they are liable. —

Are they? That seems a contradiction to your previous assertion, that Rosenstein is personally liable. Otherwise, you say, what is the point of him signing it?

No contradiction. People in charge of agencies are supposed to put in place safeguards and procedures so that when they sign things, they have a reasonable expectation that what they are signing is correct. If they have doubts, they are supposed to ask questions.

If they have been lied to, then the burden is shifted. Rosenstein has not made any allegation that he was lied to, as far as it appears.

What he appears to be saying is this:

I just sign paperwork. I have no responsibility for what is in the paperwork. I only sign it.

There is no point in him signing paperwork if he has no responsibility for what is in it.

-- No contradiction. --

BS. That's your point of view about your own words.

Now you are substituting "signature represents responsibility fore the system" for "signatrure represents personal review of the contents."

I first said his signature is an instututional statement, not a statement of personal vouching for contents, and you called BS on that. Make up your mind.
