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.

““It is important .. to follow established policies and procedures, especially when the stakes are high…. “

Says the man who reportedly signed one of the bogus FISA requests.

Like Rosenstein has anything to brag about. How about the FISA warrant you signed to spy on Carter Page, and admitted you don’t read every document put in front of you for signing?

I hate to say it but I no longer believe that this government of ours can be saved. The corruption has metastasized too far. Two more election cycles and adios.

Thanks anyway DJT.

I want the country to be saved, but not the government.

None of it.

Interesting juxtaposition. Don’t read the kid’s face as smug. His cheeks are flushed, lips held tight with tension, eyes alert and focused. Comey is pale, without tension and without alert focus on external world, i.e., dissociated. The boy was uncomfortable but bravely held the aggressive man’s gaze.

I don’t think he did, he just demonstrated how the FBI operates, and I mean 98%-99% of the entire corrupt organization.

Read some of the responses tweeted to Rosenstein by the left. My, God — they’re ripping him a new one for helping Barr ‘cover-up and lie’ about Mueller’s report in order to keep us all in the dark about old meanie Donald Trump and his gang of criminals.

Amazing...

Yes, but he wasn't the affiant. He was just putting the nails in someone else's coffin.
