Shots Fired! Rosenstein Slams Comey For His Corruption, Abuse of Power in Wake of DOJ IG Report
GP ^ | 8/29/2019 | Cristina Laila

Posted on 08/29/2019 3:31:00 PM PDT by mplc51

Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein threw shade at Comey in a series of tweets following the release of the DOJ IG report.

The DOJ Inspector General released a report on James Comey Thursday morning on his mishandling of memos he drafted stemming from nine conversations he had with President Trump.

Although it was determined that Comey violated FBI policies pertaining to retention, handling and dissemination of FBI records and information, Barr declined prosecution.

The IG report concluded that Comey “set a dangerous example for the over 35,000 current FBI employees.”

Without mentioning Comey’s name, Rosenstein criticized the former FBI Director on Twitter.

“It is important .. to follow established policies and procedures, especially when the stakes are high…. We should be most on guard when we believe that our own uncomfortable .. circumstances justify ignoring .. principles respected by our predecessors.” Rosenstein said.

I agree.

Win or lose in 2020, Trump will be the last Republican President in American history.

Trump has failed to restore the rule of law.

With illegal aliens, too.
Stronger enforcement is needed.

He doesn’t seem to be protecting the institution though, at least its reputation.

The Department of Justice produces about as much justice as the Department of Energy produces energy.

I don’t even know what to do or say anymore.

It’s all pointless.

If he really let us see how corrupt the DOJ and FBI really are, they would be worse off PR wise.

“”Barr declined prosecution.
No much for law and order in the good old U.S.A.... At this point in time it has become obvious, it’s every man for himself... :( “

Do not despair, Barr is not prosecuting him for the leak...

I believe Comey and Brennan are both going bye bye for far, far worse treachery.

Rod Rosenstein, it is clear that no vitriol is worse than that of the recently converted.
