Rosenstein Asks Prosecutors to Help With Kavanaugh Papers in Unusual Request

WASHINGTON — Rod J. Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, has asked federal prosecutors to help review the government documents of Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, according to a letter obtained by The New York Times on Wednesday.

Mr. Rosenstein’s request was an unusual insertion of politics into federal law enforcement. While the Justice Department has helped work on previous Supreme Court nominations, department lawyers in Washington typically carry out that task, not prosecutors who pursue criminal investigations nationwide.

But in an email sent this week to the nation’s 93 United States attorneys, Mr. Rosenstein asked each office to provide up to three federal prosecutors “who can make this important project a priority for the next several weeks.” Names were to be submitted to Mr. Rosenstein’s office by the end of Wednesday.

WTF?
Why has Trump not sacked this creepy, slimy little rat yet?

[M Kehoe]

Is there doj jurisdiction here?

No? Well damn.

Time to purge (Stalin like), the DOJ and FBI.

Rope and lampposts will do.

There is growing speculation that Sessions was the FIRST Deep State plant in the Trump campaign. Looking more plausible with every passing day.

WTF business is it of his?! The only reason would be is so he can begin harassment of him and his family. (I miss America.)

This has got to be satire, right?

[odawg]

On second thought, the weasel is so use to dealing with crooked government documents that he can’t conceive of someone creating honest ones.

[Blue Highway]

Did Rosenstein ever produce the documents for congress yet? Funny how that just quietly went away.

Signed!

Shop for a judge who will rule that Rosenstein’s fishing expedition is illegal and must stop now. If he doesn’t, send in the US Marshals to arrest him.

The leftists have been begging for a confrontation, and US marshals vs the FBI is a good place to start the fight.

[MagnoliaB]

He’s so despicable.

[JayNorth]

Zero out the DOJ. Enough sedition. Enough coup attempts. Enough cover-ups. Enough lying. Enough delaying. Enough hiding and destroying documents. Enough evading Congressional subpoenas. Enough political bias. Enough corruption. Enough.

Just about exactly what I was about to write. ENOUGH.

This one has toys in the attic.

It's standard procedure.

For example, Kavanaugh worked in the President George W. Bush White House so all of his e-mails must be searched for top security and presidential privilege etc.

Kavanaugh also might have work product for President Bush that might fall into the same categories.
