WASHINGTON — Rod J. Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, has asked federal prosecutors to help review the government documents of Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, according to a letter obtained by The New York Times on Wednesday.
Mr. Rosenstein’s request was an unusual insertion of politics into federal law enforcement. While the Justice Department has helped work on previous Supreme Court nominations, department lawyers in Washington typically carry out that task, not prosecutors who pursue criminal investigations nationwide.
But in an email sent this week to the nation’s 93 United States attorneys, Mr. Rosenstein asked each office to provide up to three federal prosecutors “who can make this important project a priority for the next several weeks.” Names were to be submitted to Mr. Rosenstein’s office by the end of Wednesday.

Or, alternatively, Sessions needs to be fired.
The DoJ is out of control!
I’m sorry.
At this point as much as I LOVE the POTUS, something fishy is going on if he hasn’t fired ANY of these guys yet.
The country is behind him in poll after poll.
“let me keep my job or i’ll...”
and Trump is listening.
YES. I dont believe my own words either. Of course not.
But if it was anyone other than Trump, that’s what i would think was up.
If you kept seeing a few employees knowingly and to his face stabbing your boss (figuratively) and he didn’t fire them though he had the right and the power, WHAT would you think was going on?
Why was Rosentein announcing this and not Sessions?
Someone (PDJT)better clip some wings pretty quick or just get ready to be overthrown
No, the cleaning house should have taken place the day after he was sworn in. His first mistake, not having HRC arrested.
1) Unfortunately these documents are going to end up in the hands of Democrats
2) However, splitting them up among 93 divisions atomizes what anyone can actually see
It would be like getting one piece of a 100-piece puzzle in the mail. Other than maybe being an end piece, you don't have any idea what you've got.
Actually, Rosenstein didn't announce it at all. He was doing this behind the scenes. It was found out by a leaked letter to the NY Times that was sent to the US Attorneys offices nationwide. My guess is one of the US Attorneys leaked it.
Question is, “who asked Rosenstein to do this?”
The DemonRats want to delay this as long as possible. When you need something slow walked, who better to ask than RosenWeasel?
The production of documents could slow down a confirmation hearing that has already shaped up as a sharp partisan battle. Democratic lawmakers say they want to inspect all of Judge Kavanaugh’s documents, including his staff work and over 300 opinions he has issued on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

The country is behind him in poll after poll.
Rush has suggested that could be the case.
President Trump is a strategic thinker.
That petition was at that same number when I signed it a week ago.
“Mr. Rosenstein’s request was an unusual insertion of politics into federal law enforcement.”
After eight l-o-n-g years of 0bama corruption, does this surprise anyone?
*SPIT*
This is a Standard Procedure, but he is stepping on the Gas to ensure confirmation before 1 October.
BECAUSE.... she is Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s WIFE, that’s why.
Holy S#!+ !!!!!
......
At this point l must occlude Rosenweasel is untouchable even by Trump. We may not want to know why.
Well, the SCOTUS starts a new year in the beginning of October, so, if Kavanaugh is to be seated then he needs to be confirmed before the first Monday in October.

Sez who? A USSC Justice or any other Justice can be seated at anytime because the confirmation process can take place at any time.
