Rosenstein Asks Prosecutors to Help With Kavanaugh Papers in Unusual Request
The New York Times ^ | July 11, 2018 | Katie Benner

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.

Clearly Trump has some house cleaning to do. Hopefully the day after the Mueller report is released.

Why is that snake even involved in anything to do with Kavanaugh?! Rosy should be in prison, not snooping into the lives and rulings of good people.

Do they still have blanket parties?

Maybe the goal is to taint him with an accusation of misconduct that cannot ever be proven.

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.

Why?

"Nothing is so mistaken as the supposition, that a person is to extricate himself from a difficulty, by intrigue, by chicanery, by dissimulation, by trimming, by an untruth, by an injustice. This increases the difficulties ten fold; and those who pursue these methods, get themselves so involved at length, that they can turn no way but their infamy becomes more exposed. It is of great importance to set a resolution, not to be shaken, never to tell an untruth. There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible; and he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world’s believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good dispositions." - See "Letter to Peter Carr, August 19, 1785," in Thomas Jefferson: Writings (New York: The Library of America, 1984), pp. 814-815.

". . . he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him." - Jefferson

Where the hell is Sessions? It’s obvious that Rosenstein is running the entire DOJ and why does he have the authority to demand this. Sessions has become more than a joke, at this point, and he and Rosenstein have to go.

Gads, even the NYT thinks it’s an “unusual insertion of politics into law enforcement.” Unusual is putting it mildly.
