Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has privately told colleagues that he may have to recuse himself from the special counsel investigation of Russia's role in the 2016 election, ABC News reported Friday.

So, Rosenstein appoints Mueller but now Rosenstein has to recuse himself. Wouldn't this call into question the appointment of Mueller?

I mean... seriously it's just it's taking ridiculous to a whole new level...

I feel like we are watching the nations gov devolve into a chaotic circus and will allow something like a dictator or military coup to take over...

They just can't seem to function anymore.

This is getting ridiculous.

He warned us to be skeptical of exactly this type of 'anonymous sources' reporting only yesterday. And they turn around and hit him with it immediately?

Brazen as frick.

Now if we could only get the entirety of D.C. To recuse itself from governance. Imagine how great we could be if we could clear the deck of all the lifers .

You would think....



But when you ACTUALLY think about the whole thing... IF there was no collusion, then Trump could not have committed obstruction.

Pretty sure this has been Trump's plan all along. Hire the most conflicted person possible as special counsel (Mueller), which will make the whole investigation come to a halt as all these conflicts pop up. Now Rosenstein is recusing himself leaving the #3 in charge of Mueller. Pretty soon Mueller will be forced to recuse or quit as well. Investigation over.

34D galactic "Go" (not even chess).

From Wikipedia:

quote:


Brand served as an Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Policy in the George W. Bush administration and was appointed by President Barack Obama to serve on the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board.[4] Brand served as Chief Counsel for Regulatory Litigation at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.[5]

Brand is the chairman of the Federalist Society's Litigation Practice Group and co-chair of the American Bar Association Administrative Law Section's Government Information and Right to Privacy Committee


Trump replacing liberal Rosenstein with a Chamber of Commerce chick who is associated with the Federalist Society (conservative, libertarian).

As I said, 34D intergalactic "go."

Oh... And I forgot. "Pay no attention to the leaks" but I'm gonna go ahead and recuse myself.

What a shite show. Can we outsource the special prosecutor to the Saudis or something. Who's next?

Yeah he can.

If I am under investigation and I prevent the cops from investigating me, I'm obstructing. Doesn't matter if I'm innocent of the original crime.

True. Only problem is that's not what Trump did.
