Deputy AG Rosenstein: Will Wait to see if Mueller investigation “results” affected by conflicts

Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Asked by Fox News‘ Martha MacCallum whether he’s bothered by the fact that some of the lawyers hired by special counsel Robert Mueller made donations to Hillary Clinton’s campaign, acting AG Rod Rosenstein responded:

“At the Department of Justice, we judge by results, and so, my view about that is, we’ll see if they do the right thing.”

Since when does DOJ ignore conflicts of interest pending “results”?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

This should never have happened. You have someone who is basically going to undermine our president, without going after the real Russian collusion by the Clinton machine.

Trump needs to understand that coprolites do not have a clean end with which to pick them up.

It used to be that they went to great lengths to avoid the “appearance of conflict of interests” but now conflict of interest is a standard of operating procedures.

Band of Brothers or Harbingers of Doom? Mueller’s Team Enigma

This pos is a mole and saboteur. Whose bright idea was it to appoint him? Jeff Sessions and DJT would have been better off with no Assistant Attorney General which is what Rosensten is.

Matter of fact his scurvy a$$ should have been fired months ago.

[Red Steel]

Well, at odds with Jeff Sessions excuse to recuse.

[Hotlanta Mike]

Yeah, there was no conflict of interest in letting Hillary Clinton and her minions off the hook with immunity deals and destruction of evidence last year...

[where's_the_Outrage?]

If he judges by results instead of actual perceived conflict he should had been totally against Jeffy rescuing himself.

[Hotlanta Mike]

In other words, if we get the results we want in indicting Trump there of course was no conflict of interest...

-- You have someone who is basically going to undermine our president, without going after the real Russian collusion by the Clinton machine. --

There is a real issue with Mueller's scope of jurisdiction. His job is to clean up, finish, close whatever investigations were opned under Comey's FBI, into Trump campaign activities. That's it. Nothing before June 2015 can possibly be relevant to the Trump campaign activities.

Investigation into Clinton is totally separate, and Mueller is not trustworthy to cover that, any more than Comey was.

[the_Watchman]

So why did Sessions need to recuse himself?!

[rdcbn]

Mueller already engaged in conflict of interest misconduct when he had Comey delay his testimony. To Congress so the two of them could coordinate the testimony

[Truth29]

The DOJ is still in enemy hands and Sessions is neutered at best. Trump needs to call his supporters into the streets and demonstrate the strength that got him into the White House. Mueller and his cabal of Democrat operatives need to be investigated and hounded incessantly by angry mobs and his office should have crowds with torches and pitchforks out front (figuratively, of course).

[dennisw]

Trump needs to order Sessions to fire Rosenstein and to find a new very loyal lawyer to replace Rosenstein. Then somewhere down the road this new Assistant Attorney General evicts (fires) Robert Mueller and his boys and gals.

If Jeff Sessions wants to stay around this is what he should do. Find someone loyal to replace Rod Rosenstein

[rod1]

add in McCabe running the FBI and Tillerson not even beginning to drain the DOS enough to make a difference (just look at the Abendin-Hillary email slow walk by DOS and this week’s DOS Israel report)and there is a significant problem. Might as well be the ongoing Comey FBI and Kerry DOS with the RAT underlings in place.

[Fantasywriter]

Why can’t this guy be fired now? He is incompetent or worse; he needs to go.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Not surprised, but that is NOT the way to do things. A conflict is a CONFLICT. You’re OUT and BEFORE “the results are in”

This SOB needs to go as well. Get RID OF ALL OF THEM

[RoseofTexas]

That tells you everything you needed to know....FIX IS IN!!
