SCOOP: Rod Rosenstein told Trump last week that he isn’t a target of any part of Mueller’s investigation.
After the meeting, Trump told some of his closest advisers that it’s not the right time to remove either man.
Rosenstein, who brought up the Mueller probe himself, offered the assurance during a meeting with Trump at the White House last Thursday, a development that helped tamp down the president’s desire to remove Rosenstein or Mueller, the people said.
I’m sure it’s perfectly legal for RosenWeasel to lie to a past, current or future “target”.
************************************************************
It is indeed, as supported by Supreme Court decision, legal for LEOs to lie to “targets” or potential targets. It happens all the time and is a very common technique.
If Trump isn’t under investigation, then the SC office needs to close down.
The only reason there has ever been a need for an outside counsel to investigate anyone in the Executive Branch is because a counsel cannot effectively investigate his or her superior.
Shut. It. Down.
That’s why he handed it off to the NY office. Keep his dirty hands clean.
The Feebs are well known for repeatedly telling people...you’re not a suspect...you’re not a person of interest...you’re not a target...and then ..you have the right to remain silent.
What power, to be free to raid any office or file they want, with no particular focus.
It’s like the Watergate break in, in the middle of the day.
It also depends on what the meaning of "target" is. /s
Sure DJT not a target, he is THE target.
Can we say Rosenstein is lying?
And why would ANYONE here, especially, believe a word of what he says?
I would hope that their tactics against the sitting POTUS would be a bit more upscale than that. But who knows with these clowns and jokers.
I’m sure he ran out and wrote a memo on it afterwards.
Actions speak louder than words...and the actions of Mueller & Rosenstein speak volumes of anti-Trump activity.
Yeah Flynn, Cohen, Malloch, and Manafort are big parts of the Clinton Crime Family.
Meaningless. Rosenstein isn’t required to be truthful with the President regarding this, and he could easily be using weasel words: saying the President isn’t a “target” does not mean the President isn’t the “subject” of the investigation. Make no mistake, the endgame is the same in either case—they’re hoping to prolong it at least until after midterms on the possibility that they can get a new D majority in the House to draft articles of impeachment.
The target is Trump. Not to prosecute him, but to taint him in the public eye.
Fire Rosenstein now for rigging an investigation .
I just got a Fox News alert on my phone saying Rosenstein told the president he is not the target of the Cohen investigation.
Exactly. However, let it play out and I see the reasoning why Trump let Horseyface play “I know something duh” charade for a year now...
Anybody who has watched a few episodes of Law And Order knows it’s legal for any cop, including the FBI, to lie to anyone when doing an investigation. You can’t lie to the FBI, but they can lie to you.
I agree. What other purpose COULD there be? Sounds like fake news to me. I’m sick of it all.
