If Comey was actually a potential suspect in the Russian investigation or the Flynn investigation then you'd have a great point. But he isn't.
Again, you don't seem to know how law enforcement works. You think when a deputy witnesses a crime the lead investigator or DA has to recuse himself because he's worked with he guy for years and grabs a beer with him on Fridays?

Comey is a WITNESS now, and therefor conflict of interest could apply.
lol, you know how ridiculous that sounds?

Once again, under oath today, Rosenstein, a Trump appointee disagreed with this.
No he didn't
See, you are stupid
You don't even understand that we can agree that yes the appearance of a conflict of interest is just cause to fire a special counsel, BUT it only matters if Rosenstein sees an appearance of a conflict of interest, because only he can fire the SC.
At no point has Rosenstein ever said "an appearance of a conflict of interest isn't just cause to fire a special counsel" nor would he, because the law is clear. It IS just cause.
Liberalism is a god damned brain disorder.

we are talkng about a much closer relationship between Comey and Mueller than that, and you know it.

I suppose that's fair. Rosenstein's in a difficult position now with regard to this investigation. He himself is quite possibly going to end up a witness in this case with respect to his meeting with Trump about Comey prior to drafting his memo that served as pretext for the firing. I understand he would have to hand supervision of investigation over to someone else if he himself becomes a witness. Do you know if that's right?

If he wasn't onto something, you wouldn't hear the chatter about firing mueller.

There is NO collusion here, Trump is not being investigated for shite. Your silly "he obstructed" nonsense has now been blown out of the water.
I am not privy to the details of the investigation but it is WAY beyond collusion. You have the hacking of voter rolls, money laundering, FARA violations, obstruction of justice and frick probably a lot more.

per rosenstein, this is correct. He said he would recuse himself if comey's firing came into official purview.

WTF are you talking about. The had a mentor-mentee relationship and are friends. That exact relationship exists in almost every police department in the Country. Are you implying they are romantically engaged

Are you saying that Mueller is dishonorable or just that the optics are bad?

That's correct. Rosenstein even said as much. Fortunately, Trump's #3 has already been confirmed and moved in. She seems to be rather conservative.

Have to? No , of course not. Just like with what we're hearing about RBG and recusing herself on the travel ban case. She doesn't have to , and no one can make her. One difference though, Sessions or Trump COULD fire Rosenstein if he refuses to recuse himself, wheras no one can fire RBG if she doesn't do so. The over riding similarity though is there no you MUST recuse yourself.

That is all the appearance of a conflict of interest is, that isn't saying "we know that Mueller will go against Trump to protect his friend" b/c we do NOT know that, we just know that the appearance is that he COULD do so.

Could you not say the same thing about rosenstein or sessions? Protect their boss to save their job sounds quite reasonable.

Well as far as I know he's never given any indication in his professional life that he would be anything but fair.
