Live Hearings of Rod Rosenstein
Jackson Lee...this should be fun
Shhhh...Sheila Jackson Lee is speaking....it is RIVETING!
Just look at how preposterously Goody Goody the Republican Justice department is being while it gets nothing but sand bagged by the democrats. They get no credit for letting a group of Hilary lovers investigate the president but yet they let it go on.
Stick to the subject, Sheila
“Rosenstein is a really bad lier.”
...and a swarmy, little weasel.
His argument that it’s OK to have All leftists democrats on the investigation because their political views are separate from their professional conduct is Preposterous. Aren’t they saying there are no conservative investigators available in the entire FBI?
[Shhhh...Sheila Jackson Lee is speaking....it is RIVETING!]
Will she mention Doug Moore’s stunning election win again?
She is dumb as a rock.
She is no Barbara Jordan. I met Barbara Jordan and she would be laughing at this carpet bagging dumbass.
The only question he answered with a yes or no has come from this genius Sheila Jackson Lee. Amazing.
He claims that it’s OK to have all leftists in the group because they put their politics aside, meanwhile we have text messages about meetings to do something to destroy a trump presidency if it occurs! How ridiculous is this .
Not tap dancing.
When asked to recognize the authority of the Committee
and Congress, Rosenstein smirked, laughed and pointed
out that he disagreed.
It is practiced sedition before the US Congress
to obstruct justice and to write false federal documents
(ie change history for +,+++, and the ClintonFoundation’s
already CASHED checks).
She just held up picture of 3 women with complaints against Trump and she is telling these women to file a conmplaint with the DOJ.
When is someone going to bring up the text message between two FBI agents regarding an attempt to take out Trump and discussion was held in MCCABE’S office
The FBI just became a flirting bureau investigation agency.
Body language on Rosenstein when Chabot questioned him was odd. Rosenstein looked like a jack-in-the-box bouncing up and down in his seat while answering. Chabot hit a nerve!
Flirting now a federal crime.
Any questions?
Not true.
DOJ Ethics rules on conflicts
Financial Conflicts
An employee is prohibited from participating in any matter in which he has a financial interest. In addition to an employee's own financial interest, certain interests are considered his (“imputed” to him), such as those of his spouse, minor children and business partners. However, an employee may participate in such a matter if he has a waiver.
18 U.S.C. § 208 (link is external)and 5 C.F.R. § 2635.401-403 (see Subpart D - Conflicting Financial Interest).
An employee may be covered by a general waiver, called a regulatory exemption, for holdings in a diversified mutual fund, certain employee benefit plans and interests in securities up to $15,000 in a matter with parties and $25,000 in matters without specific parties. 5 C.F.R. § 2640.101-206. In addition, an employee may be granted an individual waiver by his Component Head when it is determined that his interest is not so substantial as to affect the integrity of his services to the Government. 5 C.F.R. § 2640.301-304. Here are sample individual waivers.
In addition to an exemption or an individual waiver, other remedies for a financial conflict include disqualification and divestiture of the interest. If an employee is directed to divest his interest, he may be eligible for a Certificate of Divestiture from the Office of Government Ethics. Here is a sample request for a Certificate of Divestiture.
Personal Conflicts
Generally, an employee should seek advice from an ethics official before participating in any matter in which her impartiality could be questioned. An employee may not participate, without authorization, in a particular matter having specific parties that could affect the financial interests of members of her household or where one of the following is a party or represents a party:
Someone with whom an employee has or is seeking employment, or a business, contractual or other financial relationship;
A relative with whom an employee has a close relationship;
A present or prospective employer of a spouse, parent or child; or
An organization which an employee now serves or has served, as an employee or in another capacity, within the past year.
If a conflict of interest exists, in order for the employee to participate in the matter the head of the employee's component, with the concurrence of an ethics official, must make a determination that the interest of the government in the employee's participation outweighs the concern that a reasonable person may question the integrity of the Department's programs and operations. The determination must be made in writing. Here are samples of 502 determinations.
5 C.F. R. § 2635.501 - 503 (Subpart E - Impartiality in Performing Official Duties)
In addition to the impartiality regulation, 28 C.F.R. § 45.2 prohibits a DOJ employee, without written authorization, from participating in a criminal investigation or prosecution if he has a personal or political relationship with any person or organization substantially involved in the conduct that is the subject of the investigation or prosecution, or any person or organization which he knows has a specific and substantial interest that would be directly affected by the outcome of the investigation or prosecution.
The relevant standard is to avoid even the appearance of impropriety
The guy is lying and he is close enough of an associate with the players that he fully aware of the conflicts he is lying about..
Cream and feces have the same specific gravity - both can float to the top...
