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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AMEN~~~~

.....”Rats turning on each other. They obviously know that things are gonna get bad!”......

Yep! And they’re all running around trying to shore up whatever is possible and create as much confusion as they go before the hammer comes down.

[I posted this a few days ago, but seems to fit his pattern today]

Here’s my take - Rosenstein was straddling the fence, until he was able to figure out which way to go, in order to keep out of jail. Clearly, he was part of the spying and coup attempt - however, he then worked his way into a very key position and with that came options - which isn’t the case for the rest of the conspiracy leaders [starting with Comey, Brennan, and Clapper].

Remember the indictments against the Russians - When Rosenstein announced them, he went way out of his way to say that Trump and his campaign had nothing to do with it. Why do that - it certainly wasn’t required, nor was he required to answer questions to that effect.

Answer - he was leaving his options open. There was no way he could stop Mueller, but he could clear Trump, at least in that case, and he did.

On the other hand, he could have told Mueller to pack it up over a year ago...but did not. The reason - he wasn’t sure that Trump would survive, so he played it safe and let Mueller continue his witch hunt.

But now with a boss who means business, he knows that very soon the Deep State will FINALLY be exposed by the IGs. His only choice is to side with the IGs in hope of getting off relatively light.

In the end, he’s played it very smart, given his limited options once Hillary lost.

They’ll leave Bernie alone for now. He’s too entertaining and disruptive.

I will forgive Rod his transgressions against Trump, if he helps Barr put Comey, Brennan, McCabe, Clapper, Lynch et al into jail.

Again a great post by a man who translates knowledge from the Bible into everyday politics and just life in general more eloquently than anyone else on the board.

And I’ve added the other names so that they can see and know your great posts.

But ALSO because I am guilty of the sin of VANITY and PRIDE today!!

For weeks I’ve been leaving hints about my birthday being on the 13th.

And not ONE Happy Birthday today!!!

I cancelled all my plans and stared at the FR board the WHOLE day and NOTHING!

Ok, maybe I didn’t do that. :)

But you are ALL in my book now and you don’t want to be in that book!!

Not that there are any consequences or I have any power :)

Anyway, sorry for hijacking your post but I do think others should see your very powerful posts and as I’ve said before, you have a gift.

Now the rest of you have TWENTY FOUR HOURS to get me a happy birthday or in the book you go!!!

And for those nephews and nieces that didn’t call, NO CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR THEM!!!! Ingrate kids.

“Both Rosenstein and Comey are snakes.”

Correct, but Rosenstein has decided to stay out of jail.

"..I’m not sure Rosenstein was a snake as much as being incompetent or spineless. Will Chamberlain posted a great analysis on why Mueller was shut down. If you recall, Giuliani was very optimistic that the administrations argument that it was a stretch to apply a particular law against Trump. It was only after Barr was hired that Mueller was instructed that he was chasing his own tail."

------------

Well said.

The notion that "You are either for me or again' me" doesn't apply for an organization man like RosenWeasel. He was a weak person who rose to a position of power by keeping his head down when the poop started flying, not just in recent years but as a career choice. He understood how to survive when people of power pressed him and he would do what the organization called for as he understood it. Noble is not in his character description, but he did his job to the best of his ability when stronger influences pressed him.

With Sessions on ice, he had far more pressure upon him by various forces in Washington than he was accustomed to or was capable of handling. He was grass bending in the wind too often and I think there was a great sigh of relief on his part when a strong person by the name of William Barr stepped into the job he was uncomfortable doing. Rod Rosenstein was not a leader but pressed into the position which he didn't want or was well suited to fill.

And partisans from both sides will curse his name for months and years to come.

Yeah, but let’s see what we can ferret out of the weasel when the time comes for him to testify on the record. I bet he squeals.

I am shocked and pleased that he said, in a clear phrase,
“there was no obstruction.”

Thanks for that, Rod.

Oh dp!

I just got up and was feeling in quite a good mood, and now this terrible news that your birthday has come and gone without us having a big celebration for you! This is awful.

I hope you still had a wonderful birthday! I didn’t see your hints - perhaps you could just start a thread next year. That would be helpful for those of us who can’t remember what we had for breakfast.

In any case - HAPPY BIRTHDAY DP, and many, many more! I always love reading your posts....even the ones with all of the ###### words lol. Your humor is a little twisted, which is always enjoyable.

Enjoy the day....and please scratch my name out of that book!
