Recall that Rosenstein recommended Comey be fired. Recall also that Comey testified that his intention was to leak so that a special council would be created.
Comey to Rosenstein, Fire me.The Russia Narrative was losing steam and they needed to create an ongoing aura of wrongdoing. Comey could not appoint a special council, Rosenstein could. Getting Comey fired would feed the “obstruction” sub-narrative of the Russia Narrative and would create the optics needed to bull through the appointment of a special council.Rosenstein: What?
Comey: I can't appoint a special counsel, you can. Fire me so that you can appoint a special counsel.
Rosenstein: Brilliant!
Comey: We can do this. We are the Resistance.
It worked.
Rosenstein appointed his long-term associate Mueller, with whom Comey has coordinated his Congressional testimony.
The history of these three together, the blatant collusion of Mueller and Comey (Comey's testimony before Congress was delayed so that he could first meet with Mueller), the improper appointment of a special council, Mueller’s investigation of things far outside the scope of Rosenstein’s improperly created special council, Mueller staffing up with Democrat bundlers and Clinton Foundation lawyers....
Mueller and Rosenstein have discredited themselves. They have ZERO credibility.
But first the head guy had to move out of the way... Would have been pretty messy if Sessions was the one appointing a special prosecutor to investigate Trump...
As we seem to all understand, this is an illegal investigation since there was no crime committed...Sessions is still the boss (on paper anyway)...He could have stopped this special prosecutor in his tracks...And instead gone after Comey for leaking classified inforation to the press...But he didn't...
