I have a feeling this is going into areas nobody expects. They may well be looking into the Russian influence and the Dems

Does anyone care what Rod Rosenstein says at this point?

His job was to light off a “Special Council” investigation. That was it. I don’t think it can be controlled, turned off, constrained, directed, or curtailed at this point.

He did his job, along with Comey and the MSM-Democrats. Endo of story. Blithering idiot Jeff Sessions just stood there and quivered while it all went down, which was probably what he was assigned to do also.

to come to the acting attorney general, at this time me, for permission to expand his investigation

In other words he's saying: "Go for it!"

The scope that was agreed to is wide open! So of course Mueller will stay within bounds.

Total crock, not only has this worm given Mueller permission he has probably ordered him to look wherever he has to take Trump out. This is just the set up to legitimize to the witch hunt.
So Jeff if Mueller is looking beyond the so called collusion why would your recusal still apply?

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russia's role in the 2016 campaign and President Donald Trump's campaign's potential ties to Russia was "not a fishing expedition."

Oh no. Of course not. We believe you. /s

How many liars and evil scumbags are there in DC? Anyone?

Rosenstein has one eye on Trump and one eye on polishing his resume!

He’s a short timer and he knows it.

One would hope if Mueller found an unrelated crime that he would not be given the right to expand as he was given a specific responsibility for a question America wasn’t answers on. An unrelated crime would be taking away from his duty.

Don’t be fooled by this head fake from Rod “The Mole” Rosenstein. Never trust this pos guy who appointed Mueller who is best buds w James Comey. This is the par for the course DEEP SWAMP kabuki dance put on for the rubes.

The fix is in!

if he finds evidence of an unrelated crime.
WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! WAIT JUST A DAMN MIUTE!

Unrelated crime would suggest they're investigating an actual crime...WTF IS THE ORIGINAL CRIME YOU'RE INVESTIGATING?

And please don't anyone show your ignorance by saying collusion...Russia, Russia, Russia.

How does Mueller need ~16 ‘Rat colluded, high price lairyers to “investigate”? Liaryers are not investigators, they are prosecutors.

Rosenstein has hardly any fans here on FreeRepublic, but I've noticed that over the last 2-3 months he has dropped some very important hints about what Mueller is -- and isn't -- doing.

Everything I've seen tells me: (1) Rosenstein is playing this straight as an arrow, and (2) we may be in for a big surprise (in a good way) when the whole thing is done.

When Judge Ken Starr was hired as Special Prosecutor his charter was to investigate the Whitewater Land Development project in Arkansas. Then Starr asked Attorney General Janet Reno for permission to expand his authority to the Vince Foster suicide. Then Starr asked permission to expand again to the Monica Lewinsky affair. Clinton was ultimately impeached by the House of Representatives for perjury and obstruction of justice related to Monica Lewinsky.

"If he finds evidence of a crime within the scope . . . "

He thus admits that it IS a fishing expedition, despite his lies to the contrary. Normally, an investigation begins after a known crime has been committed. Maybe we should set up a special prosecutor for Rosenstein and see if we can find anything on HIM. Fair enough?

"If he finds evidence of a crime that is within the scope of what Director Mueller and I have agreed is the appropriate scope of this investigation, then he can,...if it's something outside that scope he needs to come to the acting attorney general, at this time me, for permission to expand his investigation."

Mueller can't find something outside the scope of the investigation, unless he already has expanded his investigation...without permission.

Don't fall for this nonsense, folks. Rosenstein is either a dope or a very dishonest swamp creature.

Expand it from Russia to what? China?

If Mueller is going to investigate the world why do we need the CIA?

Bottom line is they will concoct something to hang Trump with.

The got all the power, they outnumber Trump and the people who support don’t matter because they are in the 30 percentile, the Trump haters are in the upper 50 percentile. It’s all in the swamps favor.

I think rosenstein is lying and that it is a fishing expedition. If it turns out that he was lying then I can see a rather nasty citizens arrest taking place.
