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.

It's TRUEPUNDIT, so that is very possible.

Well I’m sure glad to see I caught up to you!

I suspect we both, at least, have had the same belief on this subject for a long time.

‘According to what I heard yesterday [Rosenstein] has temporarily stepped down. A Trump appointee has filled his shoes at least for the time being.’

Trump will never fire him now. He is fixed in his position like a bug pinned to the back of a shadow box, public and immobile. Right now Rosenstein is the most impotent swamp dweller in Washington. Able to do harm only to himself and his co-conspirators.

“Mr. Rosenstein, 53 years old, says that despite his managerial responsibilities over thousands of Justice Department employees, Special Counsel Robert Mueller among them, he considers himself a practicing lawyer first.

“My primary vocation is actually lawyering, and not supervising,” said Mr. Rosenstein, who spent a decade as U.S. attorney for Maryland. So last year, he asked Solicitor General Noel Francisco to give him a criminal case to argue. Mr. Francisco obliged with Case No. 17-5639, which stems from a 2012 drug bust in Albuquerque, N.M.”

Thanks for the link. The article is behind a paywall. However, ‘taking a pause,’ is not an official recusal. Why would it matter if Rosenstein had less time to supervise Mueller? He’s not supervising him now; he’s letting the witch hunt run wild.

I agree. RoselWeasel works for Mueller. Muller likely has the rubber stamp in his own office.
