Maybe I’m wrong, but my first reaction after reading this is that it has nothing to do with the DOJ/FBI dossier affair — and is a heads-up that DACA is about to end.

What “rules” are they talking about? Rosenstein, from freak state Maryland may be PDJT ‘s worst appointment.

I think he is referring to the selective prosecution of the federal drug laws regarding pot. The DOJ is kicking the issue back to Congress, since they are the ones who wrote the laws.

Spoken by the back-peddling criminal assistant AG Rosenstein. The lying mofo belongs in prison and if justice is ever served, that’s where he will end his criminal government career.

The horse left - the barn door was open... We're NOT going to let these deep state criminals off with a simple ‘apology’.

Would the deep state ignore a bank robber who ‘apologized’?

I doubt it.

"From now on, our Department will not usurp Congress’s job of making the rules. We will stick to enforcing them."

Notice Rosenstein used the word "rules" and not the word "laws". It's as if he doesn't want to imply that the DOJ broke "laws".

Weasel lawyer.

The ‘Deep State’ is run out of the Bamster’s house a couple miles away.

Hmmm, I have thought the deep state was being run out of Kalorama by Iranian ValJar and her boy friend Insane.

ValJar lives at Bamster's house.

I hear that she likes to party with Barry and Michael.

It's always good to have your enemies all huddled in one place, it minimizes collateral damage if nothing else.

Yes. “We will no longer be politicized until it is absolutely convenient.”

the selective prosecution of the federal drug laws regarding pot. ////

That was my 1st thought as well. Sounds like a response to Cory Gardner.

There is no “so sorry - won’t do it again...”

At least NOT THAT WE KNOW OF.

Sure seems to be a belief by some in an obscure law like this in effect somewhere though.

Like I said,

Here is the Kalorama compound....It's only two miles from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

That’s the first time I’ve ever heard it referred to that way. What am I missing in the name? I’d expect it to be called “ValBama” or some such.

This could be in regards to pot also. If you want DOJ to ignore breakers of existing federal law, you need to go through Congress and get them to change the laws.

It is Sessions who keeps Rosenstein as his Deputy.
