Rotten Apples Attempt to Rid Themselves of Good Apples

[gotsnowgotslush]

Mueller needs all the help that he can get, and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has his back. Republicans are determined to weaken the Mueller investigation, and they are not above trying a sideways attempt to do it.

Are we discussing a meeting that took place in January ?

The Republicans allied with Nunes, whine on FOX TV June 13, 2018 ?

What fuckery, is this ?

Are the Republicans arguing that Rosenstein has no right to defend himself from false accusations ?

How else, would Rosenstein defend himself, other than evidence collected from the people accusing him ?

Yes, the "best guys for the job" are Republican twerps that are incompetent, careless, irresponsible, disrespectful, and have no respect for the rule of law.

Add issued a rare “order of ineptitude” by a judge-

The latest claim is that Rosenstein, who joined the Justice Department in 1990 as a public corruption prosecutor, used the power of his office to threaten Republican House investigators during a meeting attended by Trump-appointed FBI Director Christopher Wray and other top DOJ officials.

Rosenstein has butted heads with House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes for months over a subpoena for documents related to the Russia investigation.

Staffers for Devin Nunes apparently threatened to hold Rod Rosenstein in Contempt of Congress in a recent meeting. He told them if they did, he would have the right to subpoena their communications and put them on the witness stand to prove them wrong. He's 100% right about that

Feud erupts between DOJ and Nunes, with Rosenstein now threatening to call for a House investigation into Nunes staffers after DOJ rebuts account of heated, closed-door clash, per @LauraAJarrett

You should always be suspicious of the stuff Gregg Jarrett regurgitates from unreliable narrators. Read @LauraAJarrett for some actual context on this.

Rosenstein plans to call on House to investigate its own staff
By Laura Jarrett, CNN

Updated 9:26 PM EDT, Tue June 12, 2018


Justice Department officials dispute the recounting of the closed-door meeting detailed in the story, and Rosenstein now plans to "request that the House general counsel conduct an internal investigation of these Congressional staffers' conduct" when he returns from a foreign trip this week, a Justice Department official said.

"The Deputy Attorney General never threatened anyone in the room with a criminal investigation," the official said. "The FBI Director, the senior career ethics adviser for the Department, and the Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs who were all present at this meeting are all quite clear that the characterization of events laid out here is false.

Rosenstein, Wray and Coats now scheduled to provide Gang of 8 w/classified briefing and show documents on intelligence source this *Thursday* (same day as DOJ IG report anticipated)

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein threatened to “subpoena” emails, phone records and other documents from lawmakers and staff on a Republican-led House committee during a tense meeting earlier this year, according to emails reviewed by Fox News documenting the encounter and reflecting what aides described as a "personal attack."

Notice it said what aides described.

I'd say he should be investigating Rep. Devin Nunes' despicable behavior in turning the House Intelligence Committee into a Trump mole operation.


And as soon as Rosenstein pushes back, noting that in his defense against their charges he can subpoena text messages, Nunes runs over to Fox and whines that he's being oppressed. Boo Effing Hoo.
