More “evidence” that argues in favor of RR not black hat?
Excerpt of RR’s talk:
The rule of law is our most important principle. Patriots must always defend the rule of law. Even when it is not in their personal interest, it is always in the national interest. If you find yourself asking, What will this decision mean for me? then you probably are not complying with your oath of office.
At my confirmation hearing in March 2017, a Republican Senator asked me to make a commitment. He said: Youre going to be in charge of this [Russia] investigation. I want you to look me in the eye and tell me that youll do it right, that youll take it to its conclusion and youll report [your results] to the American people.
I did pledge to do it right and take it to the appropriate conclusion. I did not promise to report all results to the public, because grand jury investigations are ex parte proceedings. It is not our job to render conclusive factual findings. We just decide whether it is appropriate to file criminal charges.
Some critical decisions about the Russia investigation were made before I got there. The previous Administration chose not to publicize the full story about Russian computer hackers and social media trolls, and how they relate to a broader strategy to undermine America. The FBI disclosed classified evidence about the investigation to ranking legislators and their staffers. Someone selectively leaked details to the news media. The FBI Director announced at a congressional hearing that there was a counterintelligence investigation that might result in criminal charges. Then the former FBI Director alleged that the President pressured him to close the investigation, and the President denied that the conversation occurred.
So that happened.
There is a story about firefighters who found a man on a burning bed. When they asked how the fire started, he replied, I dont know. It was on fire when I lay down on it. I know the feeling.
President Trump in Fox News interview suggested it was “inconceivable” that former President Obama did not know about the Comey-McCabe-Strzok-Brennan-Clapper operation to “overthrow” his new, incoming administration in late 2016-early 2017.
Cue (Q) the Princess Bride memes...
The Rule of Law in its current form.
Rush just had a long segment on Mr. Rosenstein’s speech to the Armenian lawyers (his wife is probably an Armenian lawyer). His theory is that General Barr has given Mr. Rosenstein an opportunity to earn himself a great deal of credit (against his debits IYKWIM) by unloading on the other conspirators and as long as he’s KEPT unloading he’s been allowed to stick around. Because he pretty well unloaded in his speech.
BTW, according to Q, Armenia was freed from the grip of the cabal about a year ago. I inferred it was important to the Rosenstein/Barsoomian family.
