Must watch TV. I have seen some theories that Rosenstein was a "good guy" who was acting as the undercover cop to infiltrate the coup attempt. He went along with FISA and Mueller so he could ensnare them all. I don't believe it.
Will Graham and the Reps do what is necessary to wring the truth out of this guy? If you read Rosenstein's statement about appearing before the committee, he sounds like a guy who is happy to assist the USG in rooting out corruption.
Rosenstein thanked Graham on Wednesday for the opportunity to testify before the committee.
"During my three decades of service in law enforcement, I learned firsthand that most local, state, and federal law enforcement officers deserve the high confidence people place in them, but also that even the best law enforcement officers make mistakes, and that some engage in willful misconduct," he said in a statement. "Independent law enforcement investigations, judicial review, and congressional oversight are important checks on the discretion of agents and prosecutors."
I am also concerned about Graham's statement about the purpose of the inquiry. Like Clinton, you have to parse his words.
"Mr. Rosenstein will testify about the new revelations contained in the Horowitz report concerning the FISA warrant applications and other matters," Chairman Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, said in a statement. "This will be the first in a series of oversight hearings regarding all things Crossfire Hurricane and the Mueller investigation."
I am also concerned about Graham’s statement about the purpose of the inquiry. Like Clinton, you have to parse his words.
My take, Lindsay giving him the hnit to say “ I thought it was this, but would have never approved it if I knew it was that, which I didn’t at the time:
The have your cake and eat it to defense.
As always appreciate your take on these things.
