I’ve certainly never suggested that Rosenstein was a white hat. Early on it was pointed out that there was no predicate crime and hence no authority for a special counsel.
In addition, the Dag had a conflict of interest and should have recused himself from the appointment. Instead he appointed someone who also had a conflict of interest.
Total Scam by GOPe.
