On a serious note, the more disturbing takeaway from President Trump's rant, which included a claim that he would never have appointed former Sen. Jeff Sessions as U.S. Attorney General had he known he would recuse himself from the Russian hacking investigation, is his profound lack of respect for the rule of law. Had he spent just a nanosecond learning about Mr. Rosenstein, for example, he'd have found out that the 52-year-old Philadelphia native (and Bethesda resident) won respect in Maryland for, among other things, prosecuting prominent Democratic officeholders including Prince George's County Executive Jack Johnson and Sen. Ulysses S. Currie. His prosecution of the Black Guerrilla Family and its influence over the Baltimore City Detention Center was such an embarrassment for the Martin O'Malley administration that it likely proved a factor in the surprise election of a Republican governor in 2014.
