Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein took the extraordinary step of consulting President Trump about the timing of the latest batch of criminal indictments in the special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, Bloomberg reports. Rosenstein, who is heading the investigation at the Department of Justice, allowed Trump to choose the timing of the indictments—before or after the Helsinki summit with Vladimir Putin. On Friday, Mueller issued indictments of 12 Russian intelligence officers for their role in the hack of DNC emails.

Mueller didn't politicize the release and neither did rod

Trump asked Europe to increase military spending and blasted Germany for letting Russia grab them by the balls with over 60% of their gas coming from there and scolded them for not doing business with their allies.

He’s like the worst Russian puppet of all time.

So Rosenstein is conspiring with Trump and Putin now too? Interesting.

What's funny is that If Hillary had won there wouldn't be any indictments at all.

What the hell do you call an indictment that has no hope of being litigated in a courtroom and is being buried in the national security division of the DOJ where it will never see the light of day in anything so much as an official government report?

You're an idiot.

Oh and this title is wrong.

Rosenstein doesn't have the ability to allow Trump to do anything at all.

It's the other way around when he's his boss.

Trump could simply order Rosenstein and Mueller to keep the indictment under seal and there's not a damn thing they could do about it.

The indictments are 100% political and used to justify the continuation of the probe itself. We already knew the information the indictments allege based on both the house report and based on counterintelligence reporting before the mueller probe.

The indictments actually make things worse....they force us to constitutionally assume the Russians are innocent.

And make it fair game for other governments to do the same as well to our own officers and they do not have the same presumption of innocence we use in a court of law.

American foreign officers are the most active on the world stage. If this precedent was around while Obama was trying to oust Bibi and Clinton going after Bibi as well and to say nothing of the other 3rd world countries we overthrow, we would have to keep a lot of our guys stateside.

I just can’t believe Rush Limbaugh would lead Trumpkins down the road of “ Rosenstein tried to derail the Summit by releasing the indictments unannounced”


Can we please bump the “Rush is killing it “ thread?

Tugjob, why did you leave "reportedly" out of your title?

Did it also state that the GOP memo had better information than this indictment back in March?

And that is exactly what Rosenstein hoped Trump would do, then speed dial WaPo and NYT.

I just cant believe the arrogance of this whole crew, they do think they are untouchable.

Well now that is just bullshite.

Rush gets all his material from channelling my thoughts.

First thing I thought of the instant I heard about the presser. Rush was 3 days from making his program.

What you filth don't realize is that Rush doesn't give any of us any sort of 'marching orders' or 'thoughts' = What Rush is is a megaphone blasting out our principles and beliefs in an entertaining manner.
