STATEMENT BY DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL ROD ROSENSTEIN ON ANONYMOUS ALLEGATIONS

Americans should exercise caution before accepting as true any stories attributed to anonymous officials, particularly when they do not identify the country  let alone the branch or agency of government  with which the alleged sources supposedly are affiliated. Americans should be skeptical about anonymous allegations. The Department of Justice has a long-established policy to neither confirm nor deny such allegations.

This statement apparently went out from Rosenstein at ~10PM EST Thursday June 15th. The bulk of the anonymous accusations recently seem to be related to Trump being investigated for Obstruction. The most interesting part of Rosenstein's statement seems to be in regards to the alleged sources possibly even coming from foreign countries....



To: Golden Eagle

That’s an okay statement but it’s very weak.

.... Rosenstein’s statement seems to be in regards to the alleged sources possibly even coming from foreign countries... And those coming from the fetid, festering, septic bowels of both the DNC, and the home of Barack Obama.

Rosenstein is a douchebag and Trump screwed up big time in appointing DOJ heads that are ether senile or work for the communists. The whole point of winning the WH was to control DOJ and annihilate the domestic enemy.

Maybe Rosenstein is building a case against Mueller and his leaky boat of Demonicrat lawyers that could lead to either getting rid of them or restricting them to only investigating the Russian nothing burger and their own keisters.



To: Golden Eagle

Rosenstein weak effort to address egregious criminal negligence in appointment​ of Comey 2.0 Rosenstein is deep state Anti-trump fraud!!!



To: Golden Eagle

Can he appoint a “Special Prosecutor” to investigate the “Special Counsel”, Mueller?



To: Golden Eagle

You mean Rod “I’m the asswipe who set up Trump” Rosenstein? This worthless POS should resign.

you just nailed it..500 foot home run. Sessions is a disaster.



To: Golden Eagle

Most MSM outlets would go out of business.

I understand the reactions here, but people don’t understand Sessions and Rosenstein are trying to return the DOJ to the professional tone which Comey destroyed.

I think both Sessions and Rosenstein are fine. Trump brought in his own lawyer and I suspect he will sort things out and go on the offensive by using every “Tool” available.



To: Carl Vehse

Good thinking. Let’s hope so. I don’t know what to think of Rosenstein. You?



To: Golden Eagle

We’re really getting tough now.



To: Carl Vehse

But if were only true!



To: Golden Eagle

This is probably an ominous development, IMO. The statement is going to serve to immunize the leakers. It’ll be “Oh, never mind those things that claim to be leaks from insiders”. You didn’t really hear them, they didn’t come from insiders, they mean nothing, please move along and let us do the serious and important work of this investigation. Now, he doesn’t have to investigate nor prosecute any leakers, real or not. This is very not good. What remains after the release of fake news is the effect/impact of the fake news. It does not readily wash away, despite any retractions or qualifications. Otherwise this whole investigation thing would be over in all of its aspects. Now, he gets to employ the impact of fake news; then call it fake news, but it is you, the gullible listener, who’s getting inaccurate information and he’s still the authority because it is he who gets to divine whether any particular news item is fake or real. Now they can leak and leak and it will make no difference and nobody needs to investigate. That’s how this is going to work, IMO. Very not good.



To: All

Rosenstein has said nothing about Mueller bringing in Rat mercenaries to fill his team. Obviously it’s fine with him. Where are GOP elected reps complaining about this. Instead we have Ryan sticking up for Mueller.



To: Carl Vehse

Rosenstein is a DEM!

To: Golden Eagle

IMHO, I think he is saying that what we are hearing from the MSM about Trump being investigated is BS.
