“Rod Rosenstein was also appointed by Trump.”

At the urging of Sessions. I’m sure Trump had no idea that Rosenstein would end up running the place. Ya ignorant fark.

The DOJ is TOTALLY CORRUPT and incestuous. It needs to be gutted top to bottom. I would rather have NO DOJ than a corrupt and politicized DOJ...which is what we have now.

Why didn’t Trump do this after that POS beady-eyed rat bastard recused himself? Because the Repukis would impeach him.

Next.

“There are DOJ guidelines that say Sessions must recuse himself from campaign related issues if he was active in the campaign.”

Dead farking wrong.

“I believe Sessions is an honorable man.”

He’s a piece of living sh!t that was in on this special counsel coup from the get-go.

zeestephen: “Rod Rosenstein was also appointed by Trump.”

Electric Graffiti: “At the urging of Sessions.”

I spent about 20 minutes on Google researching your claim that Sessions urged Trump to nominate Rosenstein.

I can't find anything that confirms that.

Did you just make that up?

If not, please send me a link that confirms your claim.

By the way, while I was researching Rosenstein’s nomination, I learned that almost every Democrat in the Senate voted to confirm Rosenstein.

Bottom Line - Trump knew exactly what he was doing when he nominated Rosenstein. The responsibility for that nomination falls on Trump, and no one else.

“[Sessions] picked someone[Rosenstein] who grew up in the department and knows how cases are decided, and should be decided.”

— Jamie Gorelick, deputy attorney general from 1994-1997

It’s one man against a 4 trillion dollar corrupt stasi state, both parties, corrupt courts, propaganda media and blue states.

Trump couldn’t MAGA alone. He made hiring overtures to the rinos in the kabuki party and was repaid with treachery. If you can’t see the forces aligned against him then you’re either brain dead or one of those cruzhole neverTrumpers- Bleating endlessly that if only Trump did this or that. He’s extraordinary-not superman, moron.

Thanks for the Gorelick quote.

I did another 2 hours of research on this subject.

Rod Rosenstein was chosen by Trump's Transition Team, and Sessions was a member of that team.

However, there is no evidence that Sessions knew Rosenstein personally, or that Sessions “urged” (your words) Trump to choose Rosenstein.

Instead, it appears that Trump authorized Sessions to choose his own deputy, the Transition Team recommended Rosenstein, and Sessions agreed.

Here is a supporting quote from a New York Times (paywall) Trump interview on 19 July 2017:

Trump, speaking about Sessions: “Then I said, ‘Who’s your deputy?’ So, his deputy he hardly knew, and that’s Rosenstein, Rod Rosenstein, who is from Baltimore.”

Bottom Line - Before nominating Rosenstein, either Trump failed to perform any due diligence, or Trump deliberately nominated a RINO who had the support of Obama and a huge majority of Democrat Senators.

I stand by my original thesis...

The responsibility for the Rosenstein nomination falls on Trump, and no one else.

Spoken like a true neverTrumper...You do realize it’s one man against the entire corrupt fed govt, both parties, courts & propaganda media, right?

What would you have him do exactly to confront this corruption? Fire lightening bolts from his arse?

If only we had the Canadian crusader, Count Copulot, to save us from our fate.../s
Take a hike, goron.

Trump promised he was going to clean out the swamp.

Instead, time and again, Trump appoints Obama holdovers to senior executive positions in his own administration, and, after ten months in office, Trump has failed to fire dozens of Obama appointees who still hold their old jobs.

If Conservatives don't tell Trump he must keep his campaign promises, who will?

I am not a Never-Trumper.

I voted for Trump in 2016, and I will vote to re-elect him in 2020, but only because he is the most Conservative candidate who has a chance of winning the election.

“If Conservatives don’t tell Trump he must keep his campaign promises, who will?”

I agree with that...The reason why I don’t come down too much on Ann Coulter for her incessant whining about the border wall.

Most people on the right can’t fully grasp the forces arrayed against Trump. When its literally one man against the totality of the corrupt state, they can ‘get’ to him anytime they want. In a million different ways.
