In his recent testimony to Congress, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein undoubtedly intended to sound reassuring. “I am quite confident,” he proclaimed, “about my conduct throughout this investigation.”
Rosenstein may have reason to feel confident. He’s in a difficult position and his conduct may indeed be above board. And, under normal circumstances, Congress and the public might be comforted by his guarantee.
But that’s the rub: These circumstances are far from normal.
We’re in the midst of one of the most important scandals in memory: Our intel agencies and some public officials within them are suspected of abusing power and misusing sensitive tools under their control as political weapons. The allegations reach far beyond the 2016 campaign and transcend party politics, which makes them all the more insidious in nature.
Combine that with the probes into Trump-Russia “collusion” and Hillary Clinton’s classified email practices, and the result may well be the most tangled web of overlapping investigations and competing conflicts of interest we’ve ever seen.
In this context, it seems unreasonable to be expected to uncritically accept assurances from Rosenstein or other figures and federal agencies — such as the CIA, the FBI and the Department of Justice (DOJ) — whose behavior is under the microscope. Yet, they currently control much of the evidence at issue and are making crucial determinations about everything from what to turn over to Congress and what to withhold or redact, the propriety of wiretaps and other surveillance, possible prosecutions, whether they should recuse themselves for conflicts of interest, to appointment(s) of special counsel(s) who could investigate their conduct.

Wordsmiths will talk themselves out of any situation. This is no exception. Justice denied.
Ya think????? Biggest scam since comey hellary fix....
Here’s an interesting new twist.
Ever notice Rosenstein looks similar to Himmler
That the investigation is based on made up crap, and that those doing the investigation made that crap up to begin with, completely delegitimizes the investigation.
The investigation itself is nothing more than a continuation of a RICO worthy criminal conspiracy.
Notwithstanding the clear criminal behavior of Hillary Clinton regarding her attempts to conceal her public acts as the Secretary of State and her violations of the Espionage Acts, the real scandal that is playing out is the political corruption of career bureaucrats and their co-conspirators, to wit the political appointees of the Obama Administration. These men and women turned our government into an organized criminal enterprise and they are continuing to do so on this very day. Rosenstein is among them and he is currently presiding over an attempt to remove the duly elected President of the United States. This cannot be allowed to stand.
What the hell is “legitimate” about Mueller’s investigation to begin with????????
Rosenstein is conflicted?
Who knew?
The law can be a real b!+c# kitty at times. Especially when it is applied, and is not just being studied for its loopholes.

Mueller to Trump’s associates: “Lie about Trump or we’ll bankrupt you with legal fees.”
If only Sharyl could grill Rosenstein.
resign Rosenstein.
Why Did Rod Rosenstein Advise Trump to Fire James Comey, Then Hire Robert Mueller to Investigate Why Trump Fired Comey?
