Deputy AG Rosenstein Says He's Satisfied With Special Counsel Mueller's Work
NBC Washington (Channel 4) ^ | 12/06/2017 | Scott MacFarlane

Posted on 12/06/2017 12:45:24 PM PST by SSS Two

The U.S. Department of Justice official who appointed special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate Russian efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election said he is satisfied with the special counsel’s work.

When the News4 I-Team asked Deputy U.S. Attorney General Rod Rosenstein if he was satisfied with the work thus far of the U.S. Office of the Special Counsel, Rosenstein said yes.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly called the Russia probe a politically motivated "witchhunt." Only Rosenstein would have the authority to fire Mueller.

Rosenstein, a longtime former U.S. attorney in Maryland, told the I-Team in an interview Monday that he was limited in explaining why he was satisfied with the special counsel’s work.

[Paragraph 8] Rosenstein has oversight over the special counsel because Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation. Rosenstein formally approved the appointment of Mueller.

He said his team is accountable for the work of Mueller and the special counsel team.

Of course Eisenstein is satisfied. Mueller is trying to persecute Trump.

Rosenstein is one of the original key coup plotters.

One of my only remaining questions is what form of blackmail they are holding over Sessions.

Old Klan robe photos? Manslaughter DUI that was hushed up?

See 22.

Session is under total control as per the coup plot. They’ll let him talk about immigration and MS-13 for show, but he’s a gagged pupped as far as the coup.

“Yes, the partisan hack with huge conflicts of interest that I hired to conduct a witch hunt of a sitting president on charges that I knew were fabricated by the Clinton campaign is doing a swell job. Also, pay no attention to that Uranium One thing...because...well...I had nothing to do with it. And Bob Mueller didn't either....Boy, is it getting hot in here? I'm sure glad Jeff Sessions in out back napping.”

- Roddy Rosenstein

>> “Rosenstein should say unequivocally that Mueller is finding evidence of collusion with Russians” <<

Rosenstein never said he was looking for collusion evidence in the first place!

He knows that collusion is normal and legal unless it is in a contract bidding scheme.

Rosenstein IS the whole problem.
Why this Obama holdover was not fired has never been answered.

You appear to be confused!

Rosenstein chose Mueller for two reasons:

1. Because Trump wanted him.

2. Because his ties to Uranium made him easy to remove if he didn’t follow orders.

True, Sessions did recommend him to President Trump, in fact, I recall Sessions declaring that Rosenstein was a very honorable person.

Sessions is the problem and has been since the start of all this.

Rosenstein is satisfied ? Obvious question is he part of cover of a up?
The reality is there are some pieces of the puzzle remaining to be had. William Campbell an undercover informant employed and paid by the FBI undoubtedly can
add more than a few. One would hope to get to the bottom of this mess and let the chips fall where they may!

A must read.
