Why is Sessions not involved? He doesn’t have to recuse himself from this, and Rosenstein should not be in charge of it.

Exactly. If the R's supported President Trump they could impeach both Sessions (nonperformance) and Rosenstein. That would tend to slow the constant unwarranted anti-Trump creep..

It makes one think that Sessions is being blackmailed about something, and that is the “Insurance” that Peter Strozk was talking about. J. Edgar Hoover started that precedent nearly a century ago.

It will be interesting sometime in the future to hear sessions explanation for his total inaction.

There’s enough partisan Trump haters working on this case to fill a football stadium. Enough is quite enough of this shit.

Bahara is the Obama AG that prosecuted Dinesh Dzouza.

This is old news that also contains fake news. Rosenstein had nothing to do with the recusal.

This smacks of a disinformation campaign.

FYI (and for others), the DAG is responsible for direct supervision of the United States Attorneys, and functions as the COO of DOJ. The underlying 25components of the DOJ and the 93 US Attorneys report directly to the DAG. There are another 13 components that report to DAG through the Associate Attorney General. You don’t have to like it, as I don’t, but it has been the structure within the DOJ since !950.

More important, and not said, would be the reason that the removal was requested. Following Occam’s Razor, I tend to think there was a valid reason for it to be done.

P.S. It seems to me that Mr. Cohen had numerous issues with the law apart from his Trump relationship.

Trump fired Preet Bharara was fire last year.-——’’-

Preet’s current status according to wiki. Fake news

“On April 1, 2017, Bharara joined the New York University School of Law faculty as a Distinguished Scholar in Residence.”

Big week this week... supposedly. So listen in.

Confirmed indictments would be nice. Not holding my breath. But taking down Zuckerburg would be good, stop the removals of info sources.

I don’t know. Jeff is AWOL and it’s as if DJT is allowing all of this to happen and if he goes down.....something does NOT make sense.

I would think posting something 5 months old WITHOUT STATING SUCH is a tad misleading, wouldnt you? Or do you just enjoy watching people explode over news that is long since past due. ON FR we put FLASHBACK: when we want to post old news, just so we dont mislead folks. Just saying. Its the polite thing to do.

Think you might get this yanked off BREAKING, since it’s 4 1/2 month-old news.

Holder was a worse AG but from Obama’s perspective he was great because his ass was protected
