Wow! Lawyers for ‘exonerated’ Manafort could call Rod Rosenstein as a lead witness

(National Sentinel)Â Bombshell: Eight years ago Paul Manafort was investigated for the very same charges he has since been indicted for by special counsel Robert Mueller.

Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew NapolitanoÂ made this point on Wednesday during an appearance on the network’s morning show, “Fox & Friends.”

What’s more, a legal teamÂ led by current Deputy AG Rod RosensteinÂ was responsible forÂ exonerating Manafort, as Napolitano reminded the audience.

According to Bizzy Blog, which posted a transcript of Napolitano’s appearance:

JUDGE NAPOLITANO:Â Hereâ€™s Manafortâ€™s defense: ‘I was investigated for all this by the government eight years ago, and I was exonerated.Â And Iâ€™m going to put on the stand as my first witness the young lawyer who exonerated me.

‘You know who that young lawyer is? Rod Rosenstein.’

STEVE DOOCY: What?

NAPOLITANO: Yes! So this is going to be quite a show if they succeed in getting Rosenstein, who now runs the Justice Department â€”

DOOCY:Â So why was I innocent then and guilty now?
