I thought this related story from 2018, also linked above - was good.

Rod Rosenstein’s Resistance

 By

September 23, 2018 7:55 PM
 
"Weasel words, weasel moves from an emotionally overwrought deputy AG eager to ingratiate himself with Democrats

Rod Rosenstein is even a weasel when repudiating his weasel moves. Here (with my italics) is the deputy attorney general’s non-denial denial of a New York Times report Friday that he brainstormed about ousting President Trump in May 2017:"

The 53 interviews that have been withheld by Adam Schiff have just been released.

Wasn’t Rosenstein supposed to be a white hat?

The redaction is the most important part. I suspect it wasn’t Trump. More likely Sessions.

Could be Cohen I guess but why redact it?

Or Stone. Maybe it’s still redacted because he’s appealing.

Hi.

In the fwiw department, I want hides, blood and sinew.

I’ve named 18 of the perps here and on fb.

Everyone knows who they are and what part in the attempted coup they played.

If I can’t get blood, I’ll take hemp and a tree.

Confirms Baselessness of Trump–Russia Probe

Hasn't that fact been beaten to death for a few years now?

He always appeared to be a visibly weak, lying weasel to me. At the Barr announcement re the Mueller investigation, said weasel looked catatonic. *smh*

Joe DiGenova made one of his regular appearances on the Howie Carr Show (Boston) this afternoon.Howie,a huge Trump supporter,was thrilled by the Flynn announcement,as was DiGenova.As he was wrapping up DiGenova said “Howie,I can assure you that there are many more happy moments in store for you” regarding the Russia Collusion scam.

-- Wasn't Rosenstein supposed to be a white hat? --

Brian Cates, @drawandstrike, maintains that to this day.

I viewed Rosenstein as a white hat for awhile, even afer Mueller was appointed (I viewed Mueller as a black hat). After awhile, I forget exactly what Rosenstein did or said that flipped my point of view, I came to view Rosenstein as a black hat. I'm still "there."

To be fair, there are shades of gray. Comey is full-on black, but some of these snakes might come at least partly clean and the reveal progresses.

If Jeff Sessions is the redacted name then the appointment of the Special Counsel would almost certainly be legitimate, regardless of what McCarthy says.

Jared Kushner is probably a slightly more likely possibility than almost anyone else I can think of.

The first time I saw Rosenstein testify before Congress, I said to myself: “He comes across as a bad guy here.”

Then I thought about it some more and I said to myself: “If I was a GOOD guy and I was testifying there, I’d probably say the exact same things he’s saying.”

I have to admit that I am totally mystified by Rosenstein.

Rosenstein ‘Scope’ Memo Confirms Baselessness of Trump–Russia Probe Oh, the Russia Probe had a basis - Deep State sedition and the overthrow of a constitutionally elected president, using lies and fake news in a criminal conspiracy with the fifth-column leftist media.

AG Barr no doubt knew all of this when he threw Rosenstein a retirement party.

He is. Rosenstein was cleared to both oversee the investigation and to testify as a witness later on by Barr himself.
