Rod Rosenstein Eyeing Exit from DOJ; Mulling Job Offers from Network TV News and Law Firms
TRUEPUNDIT ^ | 4/23/2018 | ADMIN

Posted on 04/24/2018 7:01:56 PM PDT by bitt

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is mulling job offers from at least one mainstream media network television news team and two law firms who would hire the embattled public servant as a partner, according to sources in the Justice Department.

The problem is Rosenstein still employed by the Justice Department.

Perhaps not for long.

But he might be looking for a way to parachute out before he is fired by President Trump. Or have a landing pad in case he is fired.

NBC News has discussed a position with Rosenstein as an on-air pundit and analyst, sources said. And a Washington D.C.-based law firm has inquired about his services as well as a Baltimore-based law firm.

What, no CNN?

Rosenstein is overseeing U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia Trump probe.

Rosenstein also signed off on at least one of the FISA applications to get wiretaps applied to Trump and his inner circle during the 2016 election cycle.

After being muscled to release the controversial FISA Memo by GOP lawmakers — and then again being pressured to release James Comey’s memos on Trump last week — Rosenstein might be looking for the exit door regardless of what Trump is planning to do with him.

We need more self-deportation, from illegals and bureaucrats.

Yet not smart enough not to file a false FISA court document?

Main stream media my azz.

They’re deep state media (DSM). These media political operatives are as main stream as the stooges running the CIA.

You picked a fine time to leave us, Rodney.

Really, a very fine time.

I wonder if Rod can do color commentary on Comey’s trial from Leavenworth.

“Rosenstein is overseeing U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia Trump probe.”

According to what I heard yesterday he has temporarily stepped down. A Trump appointee has filled his shoes at least for the time being.

Here is Rosenweasel with a smug look when he sneakily ran to Paul Ryan's office for a secret meeting to get an extension so he wouldn't have to release anything to Nunes after he stonewalled for weeks.

I hope this sob rots in prison with the likes of Hillary, Huma, Obama and Holder

Glad to see there is someone else who understands what I've been repeating over and over.

I imagine the 'deep state' will be targeting that Trump appointee very soon now.

Sounds like a Trump chess move. Set up some offers for big money and get him to quit.
