The mask has been removed from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and as it turns out, it doesn’t seem that he’s not all that committed to rule of law as his title may imply. Many details have come to light about how Rosenstein had to walk a political tightrope to mollify our petulant, man child CEO\/Dictator, Donald Trump<\/a>. And he even became angry at the press for treating Trump unfairly. Oh, boo-hoo! You’re supposed to uphold the law and instead you let Trump piss all over the constitution. As one ex-DOJ critic summarized, Rosenstein was weak<\/a>. \u201cHe shouldn\u2019t be talking to the president about an investigation into the president under any circumstances and he shouldn\u2019t be giving him assurances about how that investigation will end and he especially shouldn\u2019t be doing it at a time when he\u2019s begging and pleading for his own job\u2026 The way to understand Rod is he\u2019s weak, and he\u2019s always been weak. He was weak at the beginning of this investigation when he signed off on the Comey firing and gave the president the excuse, despite\u2013\u2013we now know, having read the Mueller report\u2013\u2013that he knew why the president was firing Comey, that it was over the Russia investigation.\u201d <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We here at the Bucket noticed Mr. Rosenstein’s stone face demeanor at Bill Barr’s pre-Mueller report release con job party where the Republican obfuscator attempted Jedi mind-tricks on the American people. And we wondered to ourselves, is that Rod Rosenstein or a deer in the headlights? Many people have speculated about the thoughts running through his head as Barr misled the public<\/a>. We think he was saying, “Oh oh…now everyone knows that I’m just a pro-Trump stooge.” We’re looking forward to your retirement, Mr. Rosenstein!<\/a> We have no doubt you’ll get a comfy position at Fox News, a.k.a. the Republican Propaganda Network.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Deputy
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein bears a striking resemblance to a deer in the headlights especially during Bill Barr’s deceptive press conference before the release of the Mueller report where he seems to be thinking, “Oh oh…now everyone knows that I’m just a pro-Trump stooge.”<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
