Rod Rosenstein Skips Speaking Engagement After Unexpected White House Meeting
Breitbart ^ | 12 Apr 2018 | Ian Mason

Posted on 04/12/2018 4:10:34 PM PDT by mandaladon

Rod Rosenstein was unexpectedly seen leaving the White House Friday morning, then was noticeably absent from a press conference at which he was scheduled to appear, fueling speculation the Deputy Attorney General may be slated for the chopping block. “Unfortunately, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has been called away on another matter today, so [Acting Associate Attorney General Jesse] Panuccio will have the honor of introducing the attorney general later in our program,” acting DOJ Civil Rights Division head John Gore told reporters at a major press conference at the Main DOJ building in Washington, DC.

Rosenstein appeared on the program for the event – distributed to reporters that day – as scheduled to appear alongside Attorney General Jeff Sessions, HUD Secretary Dr. Ben Carson, and Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Fair Housing Act.

Hours earlier, reporters saw Rosenstein exiting the White House after an unexpected meeting. Some cited sources claiming he was there to discuss the ongoing controversy over the speed of document production for the House Judiciary Committee’s subpoena and other requests from Congress.

On a light note...I don’t know who cooked up that Rosenweasel meme, but every time now, EVERY time, I see or hear Rod Rosenstein’s name mentioned, I think Rosenweasel.

Aaaaargh.

They should have asked Jeff Sessions to replace him. Sessions is an “acting” something or other too.

Maybe he thought his desk would be cleared out.
And his personal items would be left on the street
in front of the DOJ building if he continued with
his planned speech.

He was probably told that if Devin Nunes’ committee holds him in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over even a single document, he’s gone.

I’m reading the story about Comey’s book, childish and preposterous. Even to the point of examining the size of Trump’s hands. And it was the firing of that overstuffed peacock that panicked Rosenstein into appointing Mueller. Rosenstein needs to go.

[“Rod Rosenstein was unexpectedly seen leaving the White House Friday morning”]

Sounds like a prewritten news release that wasn’t proofed for which day of week that Rod Rosenstein visited the White House.
