Rod Rosenstein’s Instant Approval By Dems Should Have Set Off Alarm Bells

American Thinker-

The confirmation of Rod Rosenstein to be Deputy Attorney General by a lopsided 94-6 vote should have set off warning bells. It is odd that a Trump nominee would get much Democratic support, if any. But his role in appointing his buddy Robert Mueller to lead a bogus Russian collusion probe and his history of looking the other way when Hillary Clinton is involved shows the Democrats had high hopes for Rosenstein, hopes realized by actions documented in the four-page House Intelligence Committee memo:

A secret, highly contentious Republican memo reveals that Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein approved an application to extend surveillance of a former Trump campaign associate shortly after taking office last spring, according to three people familiar with it.

The renewal shows that the Justice Department under President Trump saw reason to believe that the associate, Carter Page, was acting as a Russian agent…

The memo’s primary contention is that F.B.I. and Justice Department officials failed to adequately explain to an intelligence court judge in initially seeking a warrant for surveillance of Mr. Page that they were relying in part on research by an investigator, Christopher Steele, that had been financed by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

  1. And Sessions should be pissed off for being made a fool of and want some payback. He let Rosenstein manipulate him out of the control and appoint that walking stick Mueller.

  2. Despite all the good Trump is doing, it still looks like we’re loosing bad as far as the culture goes. How can we ever turn this around? We don’t appear to have the numbers.

    And, yet, people whose best place on the team is providing that exact leverage (of effect over simple numbers) are “written out” of the roster. Because they give the team leaders, whose best place is wrangling unleveraged numbers, bad feelz. Same as it ever was.

  4. PDT’s first term is already 25% over and The Swamp is still untouched. The Left remains in complete control of all levers of real power.

    If this is 12-D Chess, we need to speed it up.

    The Swamp knows all it has to do is wait for Trump’s 4 or even 8 years to pass.
    Time is their friend.

    Firing RR = block Mueller.

    Firing RR = Red line.

    What was the Senate conf vote re: RR?

    Why did RR [BEG] Ryan to block the FISA MEMO from Congressional review/further advancement?

    REAL TIME: [7] Congressional members + [3] Senators + [2] former O-senior officials + [4] OUTSIDE CONTRACTORS [NO C/TOP/SENS-LEVEL CLEARANCE] @ SCIF [DC-CAP].

    TOP SEC CLEARANCE IS MANDATORY FOR ADMISSION – HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?
