Gateway Pundit ^ | Oct 23, 2018 | Cristina Laila

[Jim Noble]

“Maybe Trump can drag the Republicans over the finish line, but he is not getting a lot of help from the leadership.”

He should send Ryan and McCarthy a few Stormy Daniels gift certificates.

[Migraine]

This bastard’s appearance before House oversight has been “next week” for the past 7 months. Pissed!

[bantam]

If Republicans loose the house, THIS IS WHY!!!
The witless wonder Republicans strike again. Two years of this same empty actions Big talk-empty results-——pathetic

[bantam]

What leadership?? Those rat bastards should be tarred and feathered!!
The Republican Party is a party of pantywaists!
My 13 yo would do a better job!
Leadership—what a laugh!!

[rdcbn]

Perhaps the reason that Rosenstein's testimony is delayed is because Republicans are confident that they are on track to win big in. November’s elections and they don’t want do anything that upsets the apple cart

[jerod]

You appear to be on the right track... Trump has had plenty of reason to fire him, but he hasn’t and that makes you wonder... Is he actually going to be the man who exonerates Trump?

Mueller might even come to a reasonable conclusion that exonerates and absolves Trump from wrongdoing, points a finger towards Russia and then points another finger towards Obama appointees and their zeal for investigating the Trump campaign, while completely ignoring Hillary’s campaign and her connections to Russia. The conclusion of this investigation may be the beginning of a broader investigation of Obama’s appointees and their misuse of government agencies for political purposes.

The one word in your post that smacks to me of credibility is "protecting."

If Rosenstein is truly and honestly spilling his guts, he needs protection from the wet works squads of the Deep State like no other.

Rosenstein is central to the Seth Rich saga, that of Antonin Scalia's demise and corrupt judge pay-offs. All those lead directly to the big players going down (for a lot more than tax evasion).

If I were Rod, I wouldn't believe any amount of protection would do the job against the baddies he has directed knows, except that Trump has already shown his keen ability to stay well ahead of his would-be assassins.

If Rod wants to enjoy any kind of a pleasant future and not end up like No Name, he may well have seen the need to "play ball," now and with urgency.

Since Trey Gowdy's committee is not very likely to be the venue of any big, important turns for the good, letting Rosenstein spill his guts in a well-ordered manner in front of the DIA will keep Trump getting good traction toward draining the swamp, putting bad guys in jail and inching toward Making America Great Again.

[bantam]

That’s a dangerous game plan with only 2 wiz to go
If R’s don’t pull this election off, gane over for a R agenda.
Sorry but I see them as inaffective keystone cops or worse!!!

[bantam]

I detest autocorrect

[jjotto]

RR and the coup plotters have already strung this out. Stonewalling until the Dems win the House (they hope) is easy.

[af_vet_1981]

You’re making things up.

Rational speculation; the alternative is the caricature NYT/WAPO/CNN paints of President Trump.

[FreeReign]

Rational speculation;

I disagree.

the alternative is the caricature NYT/WAPO/CNN paints of President Trump.

Absolutely not.

[Cen-Tejas]

I agree. I think Trump is holding the keys to the door of Rosenstein’s Supermax Cell in his hands. Trump, for whatever reason, did not want Rosenstein testifying in any forum this close to the election. Something BIG is up and Trump does not want to rock the boat.

[NTHockey]

Don’t be so hard on those we selected as our representatives. They are where we put them because WE DON’T WANT THE THIEVES, LIARS AND PERVERTS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.

These are NOT the brightest bulbs in the box. They can’t read. They can’t get or hold a real job. Replacing them with elephants and donkeys would be a quantum leap in quality and intelligence.

[Trump_vs_Evil_Witch]

Were the R party not led by feckless globalist wimps Trump would have a much stronger hand going into the election....

[HalfIrish]

I wish the gloom-and-doomers here would shut their yaps.

In a blog post Thursday night, Wittes said that at a March 27 lunch meeting Comey expressed concerns about Rosenstein, who served as U.S. attorney for Maryland under both the George W. Bush and Obama administration and was then awaiting confirmation as deputy attorney general.

"His reservations were palpable. 'Rod is a survivor,' he said. And you don’t get to survive that long across administrations without making compromises. 'So I have concerns,'" Wittes wrote, describing his conversation with Comey.

Rosenstein, who was confirmed April 25, has come under fire from Democrats for providing cover for Trump's firing of Comey. Trump has said he decided to fire Comey before seeking what the president and his aides have called "recommendations" from Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

RR cares about saving his hide above all other concerns. He's been turned. Be patient.

[Ann Archy]

COWARDS!! INCOMPETENT COWARDS!! Are they being BLACKMAILED by Rosenstein?

[Truth29]

"He should send Ryan and McCarthy a few Stormy Daniels gift certificates."

In Ryan's case, save the money. He gets it up by denouncing Trump and trying to help the Dems take over the House.
