"The previous (Obama) administration chose not to publicize the full story about Russian computer hackers and social media trolls, and how they relate to a broader strategy to undermine America," Rosenstein said, adding that the FBI later disclosed classified evidence about the investigation to ranking legislators and their staffers only to have details "selectively" leaked to reporters.

So that happened," Rosenstein said, suggesting that he was thrust into an already politically charged position.

"There is a story about firefighters who found a man on a burning bed. When they asked how the fire started, he replied, 'I don’t know. It was on fire when I lay down on it.' I know the feeling," he said.

Not an excuse to allow lawbreaking.

“I did not promise to report all results to the public, because grand jury investigations are (secret) proceedings,” according to Rosenstein’s written remarks. “It is not our job to render conclusive factual findings. We just decide whether it is appropriate to file criminal charges.”

There’s no excuse for this guy.

They may have him leveraged, but I want to see him held accountable too.

Because his job is not up to the whims of the groupthink echo chamber.

There’s some point last year where some things were put on display, and Rosenstein’s whole reputation/government retirement was put into question. I think he came to realize just how badly he’d screwed up, and fell over himself in cleaning up what he could. This is just another example of cleaning the mess.

Rotten Rod acts as if he was a bystander the past 2 years. Many of these Democrat crimes were committed on HIS watch. His inaction makes him equally culpable.

The Shape Shifter goes into overdrive to try to stay on the winning side.

The same guy who said fire this guy and then turned around and said it was a crime to do so.

Fun how he gets to have it both ways, huh?

RE: Rosenstein

This guy is like the cat with 9 lives. How on earth is he still on the job?

1) The optics of him standing behind AG Barr during the release of the redacted version of the Mueller report took away a major talking point from the Left to claim that Barr somehow doctored the report on his own.

2) Rosenstein may still be on the job because he is dropping a crapload of dimes on his cronies in the DOJ and FBI regarding the illegalities committed to instigate and maintain the Trump spying.

Rosenstein is still on the job because no one better will be confirmed by the useless GOP Senate. It’s simply not worth the battle to fire him and confirm his replacement under those circumstances.

Because the president who hired him still wants him there.

Go back to the early 1990s and notice who worked together to bring down the Five Families (Mafia). Hint: They included Rudy Giuliani, Rod Rosenstein, Robert Mueller, Dana Boente, Robert Barr, and a private citizen and honest businessman named Donald Trump. While everyone has been pulling their hair out over diversionary side shows, President Trump has put the band back together.
