Rosenstein unloads on Comey, says he broke 'bright lines that should never be crossed'
Fox News ^ | 5-13-2019 | Gregg RE

Rod Rosenstein unloaded on former FBI Director James Comey in remarks to the Greater Baltimore Committee (GBC) on Monday evening, slamming Comey's turn as a "partisan pundit," reiterating that he deserved to be fired, and faulting him for trampling "bright lines that should never be crossed."

Rosenstein formally stepped aside as deputy attorney general two days ago. His speech specifically took aim at Comey's comments earlier this month implying that Rosenstein and Attorney General Bill Barr lacked the "inner strength" to "resist the compromises necessary to survive Mr. Trump."

Comey also derided Rosenstein's "character" and suggested his "soul" had been consumed "in small bites." The former FBI boss, who has taken to posting numerous photographs of himself in nature staring wistfully at trees and roadways since leaving public office, had been showered with media attention in recent months, and his memoir earned him over $2 million.

"Now, the former director is a partisan pundit, selling books and earning speaking fees while speculating about the strength of my character and the fate of my immortal soul," Rosenstein said. "That is disappointing. Speculating about souls is not a job for police and prosecutors. Generally, we base our opinions on eyewitness testimony."

Here is the most important part — the Holy Spirit is moving the political winds now, more and more. Even God’s enemies are being set up high, only for more and more shaming. It is like Haman vs. the Jews, and Trump is like King Xerxes.

If we stick our own unholy, unwashed, self-glory seeking feet in, we will only retard the work of God, not advance it.

Please explain how you view that difference then. Sounds like you are synonymizing them.

The sooner Comey is in prison the better off this country will be.

We need to bring back forced labor prisons like Russia has where we send the truly disgusting criminals like Comey, McCain, Waters, Omar, Tlaib, and such.

Very different. Quite obvious. No explanation needed.

That kind of thing goes along with autocrats.

Autocrats are great when they are for you, the next thing to Satan when they are against you.

Here's a story published 32 minutes ago that seems to say the exact opposite:

I read it; it does not say the exact opposite, although it tries to offer a more nuanced view.

Well that mail (whatever it said; I deleted it unread) was odd in the face of your oath.

Everybody else: do it God’s way, or get the inevitable punishment. America is too compromised to deliver itself, and any attempts will get it tangled up even worse.

Most everyone was wrong about Rosenstein, as will become clear.


Totally delusional. Who wrote the biased scope memo that ensured criminal Democrats would not be investigated until nearly 3 years after there crimes? Rosenstein. Who went AWOL while Mueller hired 16 angry Democrats, continued his politically motivated investigation long after it was clear there was no collusion and employed police state tactics against POTUS and his supporters? Rosenstein again.

Nothing that happens after today will undue the damage Rosenstein has wrought to this country. It is immense and historical.

From the article it seem Rosenstein is most offended by the personal stacks. He never accuses COme of a crime. Just professional misconduct. Big nothing burger Deep State cat fight here, IMO.

You’re absolutely right! Have you read this piece yet?

They’ve also been wrong about Sessions. Everything Barr will be concluding was set up by those two, Trump and imo, Mueller.
