My take - Rosenstein said the words. Obviously in jest or disbelief these asshats were actually considering such nonsense. Remember, Rush is right, the Libtards do not get irony, satire, humor etc. They firmly believe when Trump joked about Russia finding Hillary’s emails, that he was actually signaling them to look for the emails. HAHAHAHAHA
The DOJ response is pure deflection.
The thing that really stunned me was that McCabe should have felt so confident and protected that he could just come out and say that the DOJ had been conspiring to remove the President (just because they didn’t like him).
Rosenstein was serious when he offered to wear a wire and invoke the 25th Amendment. Obviously Trump was kidding when he asked the Russians to divulge Hillary’s emails.
Rosenstein said it, and MEANT it. He is one of them. He has fully supported this Russia/Trump farce all along.
He would have done it had they decided it was useful.
His buddy Comey was leaking details of his meetings with Trump two months before.
The FBI/CIA was wiretapping Trump two months before.
There is nothing that would make it the least bit odd to think Rod would do it.
The FBI/CIA is a policy making branch now, they determine who we are enemies with and who we attack. The President serves only with their approval and they see themselves as a check on the Presidency.
We live in a soft authoritarian national security state today. Soft, as long as you aren’t a big threat, like maybe Seth Rich.
