Thread: Rod Rosenstein is a Traitor

Rosenstein will testify to the Senate next week about the origins of the Russia investigation. There seems to be some confusion regarding whether @RodRosenstein is a good guy or a bad guy. Allow me to clear up the confusion.
First, Rosenstein knew Trump was firing Comey to shut down the Russia investigation, but advised Trump to lie and wrote a memo with a fake cover story saying Comey was being fired due to his handling of the HRC email investigation. This exposed Rod as a liar and compromised him.
Yes, Rosenstein appointed Mueller Special Counsel after Comey’s firing, but he had to do that. Rosenstein *participated* in obstruction of justice by crafting the cover story for the firing. He had no choice but to appoint a Special Counsel, and I’m sure McCabe insisted on it.
Rather than fully recusing himself from the Mueller investigation due to his involvement in one of the crimes being investigated, Rosenstein stayed involved to control the scope of the investigation. And, in particular, to prevent Mueller from investigating Trump’s finances.
As Mueller’s investigation proceeded, Rosenstein pleaded with Trump to be allowed to keep his job, promising he was “on the team” and saying he could “land the plane,” meaning he could keep Mueller in check by controlling his scope and protecting Trump’s finances.
Rosenstein also was behind the unusual and inappropriate public disclosure of the private text messages between Page and Strzok, designed to help Trump discredit two of the FBI’s biggest Russia experts and get them off of Mueller’s team and out of the Trump-Russia investigation.
Rosenstein then helped Barr bury the Mueller Report. He even joined Barr’s opinion that Comey’s firing was not obstruction of justice despite having participated in the firing! And he stood behind Barr as Barr lied to the world about Mueller’s findings.
Last month, after Senate Intelligence confirmed Russia interfered in the election to help Trump win, Rosenstein went out of his way on Twitter to say the Russians merely “meddled” in the election and did it for their own benefit rather than to help Trump win. https://twitter.com/rodrosenstein/status/1252735754557628416
Now Rosenstein will be the star witness, telling the Senate that Russia was not out to help Trump and that Trump’s campaign never should have been investigated. There’s no way they’d call him if this wasn’t the plan. Not to mention he gave away the game in his prepared statement:
Rosenstein is a liar and a traitor who shielded Trump from the Russia investigation and is fully complicit in the cover up. Rosenstein loves the fact that so many people haven’t seen through him. Stop trying to romanticize him. Rosenstein is a snake.
