It is impossible for me to believe that Rosenstein was not a willing part of the coup attempt.
Impossible.
He had FAR more conflicts than Sessions did, yet he and his comrades advised Sessions that he had to recuse himself.
There were some in the house that tried to wrap their heads around what was happening (a coup attempt and a criminal persecution), but they were NOT supported by their leaders and their efforts were thwarted repeatedly.
We have to take back the house this fall. It is probably unlikely at the moment, but the GOP and Trump have to make a full court press to gain seats in congress or we may never know exactly what happened or more accurately see them admit it.
What happened was that a small group in charge of our institutions attempted a coup. They lied, played dirty tricks, and conspired to overturn an election. They leaked, whispered, and played games with a willing media to undermine an administration.
Now it appears that those in charge, who were not present when this occurred, are mostly interested in hiding the truth to protect the institutions when the only real answer would be to tell the truth about what happened and let the chips fall where they will.
We cannot blame Wray for what Comey did. We cannot blame Barr for what Rosenstein and Co. did.
However, we can blame them for not telling us.
I voted to drain the swamp, not refill it with larger creatures.
