McCabe and his friends have been leaking and attacking Rosenstein quite a bit recently. What is really going on?
The blackpill perspective:https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/10/10/deputy-ag-rod-rosenstein-refuses-to-be-interviewed-by-joint-house-committee/>Rosenstein does not want his involvement in the fraud to be exposed; hence his request to block/stall
>However, at any time President Trump can declassify all the documents and outline the fraudulent basis that originated the special counsel.
>This is essentially President Trump’s leverage.
>The ongoing efforts of the FBI and DOJ to hide their malfeasance, does not interrupt or impede Trump’s MAGA agenda; the special counsel does. Having leverage over the special counsel is more valuable than exposing the soft-coup plotters.The whitepill perspective:https://themarketswork.com/2018/10/10/the-running-battle-between-deputy-ag-rod-rosenstein-and-andrew-mccabe/>Regardless of one’s opinion of Rosenstein, the May 17th appointment of Mueller accomplished one very significant thing.
>It shifted control of the Russia Investigation from the FBI and McCabe to Mueller.
>Rosenstein would retain ultimate authority for the probe and any expansion of Mueller’s investigation required authorization from Rosenstein.
>Interestingly, without Comey’s memo leaks, a Special Counsel would never have been appointed – the FBI, and possibly McCabe, would have remained in charge of Russia Investigation. The extent to which Rod Rosenstein was a willing or unwilling participant; or whether he was considered a useful tool by the plotting team; is an unknown variable. At times it appears the Deputy AG is as much complicit in the cover-up as the primary plotters themselves; as in the example of his request to President Trump to halt the declassification directive. However, this could also be due to Rosenstein’s sense of guilt and self-interest.
What is clear and ‘on-the-record’ is Rosenstein testifying to congress that he had no idea DOJ Official Bruce Ohr was participating with the FBI in setting up the campaign against the President. If the DAG is to be believed, Rosenstein only found out about Bruce Ohr and Nellie Ohr’s involvement in the last several months.
If we are to believe Rosenstein, that congressional testimony -under oath- only serves to underline how there are officials within the highest ranks of the current DOJ who are working earnestly to the benefit of the exited soft-coup team.
Not only does DAG Rosenstein testify he didn’t know Bruce Ohr was working with the FBI on the counterintelligence operation, he also states the briefing he was given -exclusively by DOJ officials- about the FISA renewal was entirely different from the media reporting on that renewal itself.
Rosenstein seems sure the IG review and investigation of that third FISA renewal will vindicate him of any malfeasance or connection to the conspiracy. However, the only way that vindication can be so certain is if the deputy AG feels a concerted effort by DOJ officials to trick him will be exposed by IG Michael Horowitz.
