As Rosenstein Leaves DOJ, How Will History Judge Him?

Epoch Times:

Outgoing Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has evoked strong opinions across the political spectrum during his two-year tenure.

Interestingly, over the past month, there has been an inversion of people’s opinions regarding him. Those on the left, who had been supporting him ever since he appointed special counsel Robert Mueller, are now claiming Rosenstein has been running interference for President Donald Trump. Those on the right, who felt Rosenstein betrayed the president with the appointment of Mueller, have begun to reassess his actions, following the publication of the Mueller report.

Rosenstein submitted his resignation letter to the president on April 29, with an effective date of May 11. Rosenstein had previously discussed his intent to resign from his post when a new attorney general was confirmed, following the resignation of Jeff Sessions.

After the appointment of William Barr as attorney general in February, however, Rosenstein stayed on to assist Barr in guiding him through the Mueller report, upon Barr’s request in mid-March.

Rosenstein, who had long overseen Mueller’s investigation, had knowledge of the more intimate details of the case and its underlying focus. Additionally, Rosenstein had issued to Mueller two expanded scope memos—the first on Aug. 2, 2017, and the second on Oct. 20, 2017—just 10 days before the indictment of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and his business partner, Richard Gates.

  1. Doesn’t matter what reality is or what he did to undermine the Republic, Constitution, law or the Presidency, the democrats will rewrite History to fit their anti-American narrative.

    Rosenstein will be elevated to hero status in the great struggle against Trump, Nationalism and less government.

    This has been a dizzying time with a commensurate amount of disinformation used – finally – to *get* the bad guys.
