Move over, J. Edgar Hoover; Rod Rosenstein is an even greater threat to the Constitution

WASHINGTON TIMES ^ | 6/13/2018 | charles hurt

However bad you thought it was, it really is so much worse.

However rotten and ungovernable you thought the federal swamp was, it really is so much worse.

Indeed, it will take a hundred Donald Trumps to carve out all the cancer riddling this federal government.

Behold, Rod Rosenstein, the very face of the swamp Leviathan.

“I’ll tell! I’ll tell! I’ll tell!”

And Donald is like “I don’t give a damn, I’ll pardon them all. Try and stop me.”

[Governor Dinwiddie]

[mindburglar]

Sessions’ boss.

[neverevergiveup]

Let's see.. He worked for Mueller and Comey. His wife is an attorney who has represented the Clintons and Obama, and who has also worked to prevent freedom of information releases. He's intrinsically involved in the events being investigated. He's threatened Congress. What have I left out?

Rosenstein needs to be fired, period. He stepped WAY over the line. Trump can do it, and should. But Sessions has Rosenstein’s back, and would likely fight it.

This really, truly, sucks.

Schumer, Rosenstein, same kettle of fish!

[marktwain]

When you have a bureaucrat threatening Congress, it is a Constitutional Crises.

This is Praetorian Guard stuff.

[kenmcg]

It certainly is mind boggling to see that Sessions and Rosenstein are still around. Trump should have fired their asses a long time ago.

[Nifster]

Indict Rod. Then fire him

[jdsteel]

J. Edgar Rosenstein.

[fella]

The writer has swallowed the liberal meme of J. Edgar.

[Yaelle]

Especially since Hoover would be considered a member of the holy caste today.

He's been stonewalling Congress for 8 months.

He signed off on a bogus FISA application.

He helped bury Uranium One in 2015 by ignoring the U1 informant, prosecuting a few non Deep Staters and then giving them all lenient plea deals.

He interviewed Hillary Clinton for just fifteen minutes and cleared her of charges stemming from the seizing of FBI documents concerning the the former Clinton travel office.

I did a senior research paper on J. Edgar Hoover years ago and believe him to be one of the great Americans in history. All the garbage the media came out with after his death is just that - garbage. He professionalized law enforcement and was the nation’s strongest anti-communist fighter during the Cold War. Do not taint his name. Read his book, “Masters of Deceit.”

[YogicCowboy]

No, it is not worse; it is just as bad as I have long thought. Speak for yourself, Charlie.

[YogicCowboy]

While I do not have as sanguine a view of him, I agree that he has been gratuitously and deceptively maligned - just like McCarthy.
