It’s comforting to know the coup is still in full swing. When all this goes to sh!t, Jeff Sessions needs to be brought to justice.

Don’t know why I am finding this hard to believe. People with a bent, an inclination, a preconceived idea and they are looking for the facts to prove this don’t sit well with me.

Rosenstein needs to go down with the rest of the swamp.

This guy needs to be fired. Make the press focus on this. If they don’t focus on this firing, it’s a win-win.

That needs the caption, ‘Tickle your ass with a feather?’

“People are entitled to be frustrated, I can accept that,” Rosenstein told the Journal. “But at the end of the day, the public will have confidence that the cases we brought were warranted by the evidence and that it was an appropriate use of resources.”

“I have a solemn responsibility to make sure that cases like that are pursued and prosecuted, and I’m pleased the president has been supportive of that,” he added.


I believe this, like in poker, is a tell...

This tells me he has nothing beyond what they have already prosecuted. Now he is moving to the phase of justifying what they have done..

Trump has leverage over Rosenweasel.
I’d be careful what I said if I were him
or Trump declassifies documents that
will implicate Rosenweasel.

The depth and breadth is breath taking, a roads lead back to nObama and his UN driven Goa of destroying the US of A.

**************

The coup might take a big hit if only Trump would release the FISA docs like he promised to do. Instead he allowed Rosenstein to countermand his “immediate declassification” order and now the FISA docs are buried by Horowitz who will never permit them to see the light of day before the elections, if ever.

Sometimes you wonder who works for who.

That was the plan all along. Stall until the midterms.

These swamp-rats all need to be brought to justice or we don’t have any justice anymore. That includes Rosenstein.

Trump allowed Rosenstein to persuade him to NOT release the FISA docs. So Rod gets what he wants but the American people don’t. Frequently it appears that Rosenstein has leverage over Trump.

Trump could get rid of Rosenstein tomorrow morning by simply releasing the FISA docs. That alone would provide a basis for firing him. But he hasn’t. In point of fact, he passed the FISA docs off to Horowitz who has buried them. Its hard not to conclude that Trump seems to be OK with that.

I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to see Rosenstein hang around well after the elections. I get the sense that he’s holding some pretty good cards that have enabled him to keep his job despite a mountain of reasons to fire him.

I think it may be that Trump is maintaining leverage and control over Rosenstein by not releasing the FISA docs. The release nukes everyone involved and expends that ammo. Not releasing it keeps a lid on while we run up to the election. It’s the biggest weapon in the quiver, it’s use becomes highly strategic...and people act differently if they trying (hoping) to avoid seeing it used against them.

They may be released at some point, but that point is probably going to be when the majorities are assured and the release will not create extreme disruption in a functioning majority.

“Sometimes you wonder who works for who.”

Not me. I had no illusions of what Trump was facing when he was first elected. One man...ONE man against a 4 trillion dollar corrupt stasi state, both parties, corrupt courts and the fakestream media. That makes him President in name only.

The fact that he’s got as much done in 2 years as he has, is a testament to his will power.

I know you know this...you’re just being deliberately obtuse for some reason. Some agenda.

Well, it sure is independent of true justice and Constitutionality.
But personally, I’d say that there is a typo in that title: It is Inappropriate and Dependent...

(Dependent on Deep State coercion and thuggery.)

HAHAHAHAAHAA. I wonder if this .fedgov drone actually believes what he says. I certainly don't.

Everyone missed Trump thanking Rod last week for his great work:

“Thank you Rod!” 3 minutes 50 seconds in:
