It is the presidents sole prerogative to formulate and implement foreign and national security policy on behalf of the American people. While his political critics are free to criticize this policy, they cannot undermine it without running afoul of sedition laws.
Rosenstein, by the timing and content of the indictment he publicly released Friday, committed an act that undermined the president of the United States ability to conduct critical affairs of statein this case, a summit with a foreign leader the outcome of which could impact global nuclear nonproliferation policy. The hue and cry among the presidents political foes for him to cancel the summit with Putinor, failing that, to use the summit to confront the Russian leader with the indictmentis a direct result of Rosensteins decision to release the Mueller indictment when he did and how he did. Through its content, the indictment was designed to shape public opinion against Russia.
These indictments don’t mean squat and did not undermine the president. It does not matter what he did or say or didn’t do or didn’t say, the Goebbelsmedia would attack him.
The whole Democrat Party could be charged with Sedition.
