Jeffrey Rosen is the hand-picked deputy of Attorney General William Barr: MORE
Let the indictments begin.
Or else.
News distorter: Sounds like another highly unqualified Trump candidate for AG!
Impressive credentials but is he a executioner? Thats a must.
A sober Rosenstein with out the stein.
Let’s hope Barr and Rosen kick butt and take names.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a little trust in our DOJ again?
“hand picked” huh?
Heard that song and dance with granny “sessions” clampet and all we got out of him was recuse, reefer madness, and civil forfeiture expansion.
I would have picked Fred Rosenberger.
Rosen Barr?
Isn’t she a crazy celebrity?
A rose by a different name?
I’m reading this guy’s OK. Also, heard Dan Bongino mention that his agency contacts are saying he’s pro Constitution. So let’s hope it works out.
