For the life of me I can’t figure where the RosenWeasel appointment came from.
(RosenWeasel seems to have been in collusion with Comey and Mueller behind the scenes for quite a while.)
Someone suggested that is was CC’s recommendation. I’ve heard no other theory as to who was actually behind the selection/recommendation.
Ultimately, it came from Donald Trump.
Since Obama re-appointed Rosenstein twice as U.S. Attorney for Maryland, and since only six Democrat Senators opposed Rosenstein for Deputy Attorney General, the big question is:
“What was Trump thinking?”
Trump had more than two months to withdraw Rosenstein’s nomination after Sessions recused himself.
But - Trump did nothing.
