"It's extremely unfair, and that’s a mild word, to the president. So he recuses himself. I then end up with a second man [Rosenstein], who’s a deputy. Who is he? And Jeff hardly knew. He’s from Baltimore."
That statement is either deliberately misleading or is totally incoherent in light of the following:
1. President Donald Trump nominated Rod Rosenstein to serve as Deputy Attorney General in January. Up to that point, he was serving as the U.S. Attorney for the Maryland District -- a post he held since his appointment by George W. Bush in 2007.
2. Rosenstein was eventually confirmed for this post in late April.
3. While this was all going on (from January to April), Rosenstein remained in his U.S. Attorney post in Maryland and was included in the group of 46 U.S. Attorneys whose resignations Jeff Sessions demanded in early March. President Trump refused to accept his resignation.
Does anyone here really think President Trump doesn't know who Rod Rosenstein was? LMAO.
In light of these comments that are clearly idiotic, I'd say President Trump is putting all this nonsense out there to hide what is really going on here in terms of AG Sessions.
Then Rosenstein is an effup. Still, somebody likely submitted his name to Trump. I wonder who that was?
I wanted to point out number 3 in your posts in some earlier threads but emotions are getting high here and I needed to control my blood pressure, lol.
OMG this is profoundly disturbing.
“In light of these comments that are clearly idiotic, I’d say President Trump is putting all this nonsense out there to hide what is really going on here in terms of AG Sessions.”
You make good points in your post!
So what is really going on here?
“I’d say President Trump is putting all this nonsense out there to hide what is really going on here in terms of AG Sessions.”
I’ve been hoping that’s the story for a few weeks now. I am hoping to see a mile-long perp walk soon.
