I take your point that the Ethics Office could have been staffed with liberals who had a different agenda. Of course, I doubt they could have foreseen the firing of Comey, which led to the appointment of a special counsel. I would like to know how Rosenstein was selected as his deputy. If there was a major mistake, his appointment was it. Rosenstein was confirmed 94-6.
Well there you go cousin Mike.
WHY DID HE APPOINT ROSENSTEIN???
It was part of the plan I’d argue.
They wanted to get Rosenstein in there (a real turd as I am to understand) and get Sessions out.
And ole Jeff enjoys a nice steak dinner in front of the fotogs as part of the commands coming down from his bosses, Mueller and the Clinton gang. To me, this is Sessions flipping Trump the bird.
There wasn’t a better choice than Rosenstein?
The Trump DOJ transition team was a who’s-who of major players from big DC law firms. The main proponent of RR seems to Ron Tenpas, who was a close associate of Chris Christie. (FBI Director Wray is also a close associate of Chris Christie).
But, despite frequent claims on FR, there was no reason to believe RR would be as biased as he seems to be. RR is one of very few who has put crooked Democrats in jail.
