Rosenstein asks federal prosecutors for help in review of Kavanaugh documents: report

j-mac said:
It's actually in the last sentence I OP'd....

"While lawyers at Justice have previously helped out with past Supreme Court nominees, asking U.S. attorneys to do so is seen as unusual."

I think it would be appropriate to haul Rosenstein into the Judiciary committee and ask him why the hell he was doing that? The appearance of bias is what they are supposed to be above, but in doing this he looks like he is working for Pelosi, and Schumer.

Yes, it's seen as unusual. However, `it also seems like many conservatives are trying to make a conspiracy out of it. That fits in line with the lack of contact with reality that has been required for them to function over the last year.

That's a blatant overreach of his authority.
Trump should fire him.

Well, he certainly is blatant in his action isn't he? I believe he thinks that he can do anything he wants safe from dismissal because for Trump to do so, the dishonest progressive democrats will eviscerate him.

There is the reporting of the facts, then there is the whole conspiracy theory implications being taken from the facts. One is reporting, the other is insane.

Worry not, you'll get it when the precedents you're setting now are used against you. ;)
 
JasperL said:
I don't see the issue. He's asking the 93 U.S. Attorneys, all of them appointed by Trump, to name three people in their office to review documents of a Trump nominee for the USSC. So the process will be controlled by Trump POLITICAL appointees who are presumably loyal to....Trump. What alternative would you suggest that would be fairer to Trump's nominee?

That's just not true....

"As of May 24, 2018, President Trump has nominated 67 people to be U.S. Attorneys, and 65 of them have been confirmed. There are a total of 93 U.S. Attorneys in the Department of Justice."

Try being more honest in your arguments....Thanks.

You're kidding, right? The Repubs would investigate any liberal appointment to death and back, or simply never even consider them at all.
 
j-mac said:
So, you need all 93 US attorneys to supply at least 3 lawyers from their offices to look into paying off credit cards? Really? Sounds to me like anything Rosenstein can do to help hinder this President, and the carrying out of his constitutional duties is what Rosenstein is all about....But I know, he's a 'Republican'....:roll:
Click to expand...

The idea is to EXPEDITE so that the Dems cannot delay. Unless of course you want the appointment delayed until after the midterms? The Dems will want all information available and if they don't get it, they can cause hassle to the Republicans for the midterms if they don't provide it. You guys see conspiracy in everything.

Oh don't worry, the Dems will use the same **** you Republicans supported with delaying the appointment. Republicans are the ones that decided they wouldn't even HEAR the appointee Obama had. You'll get the same come time.

Yeah! How dare Rod actually do his job? Doesn't he know he was appointed by Trump solely to protect him? Lets lynch Rob now, right mac?

*Sigh* From the OP....

"....according to a report in The New York Times that notes the request is an unusual injection of politics into the law enforcement duties of the department. "

Goodness....If you are going to come into a thread to do nothing more than personally attack me, then I suggest you at least read the OP.

I wonder what the response rate will be from the two groups. I figure that by next week Mueller will find some Russia connection with Kavanaugh and he'll be in solitary confinement by next month due to how dangerous he is. I've already heard from the left that he's a danger to millions of lives.

So, now the NYTimes is spinning a conspiracy? When did the world flip on its axis, and magically make that rag a right wing conspiracy outlet? You don't like that they uncovered some nasty little business of the anti Trump ****heads so you're trying laughably to dismiss it as conspiracy.

No, the hill is, and claiming that Rosenstien is the swampy for that is.

Really? Then it should be no problem for you to show when Republican's used all 93 USA's to investigate a progressive justice nominee on the court? It's really shouldn't be that hard for you Soto, and Kagan are that old on the court....Let's see if you can do it?

Yeah, calling me dishonest because you can't really find anything to complain about is weak stuff. It's not my f'ing fault Trump can't get off his lazy, fat ass and get his people in those jobs.

If you've got a better suggestion than Trump's political appointees in charge of vetting his nominee, let's hear it. Seems to me you just heard the name "Rosenstein" and like one of Pavlov's dogs decided it must be bad cause ROSENSTEIN!!!@@!!@!!!

There isn't any reason NOT to trust him in this case. You guys see conspiracy in ANYTHING that isn't lock step in kissing Trump's ass.

This is clearly to stop dems from trying to delay the appointment. If the Dems get all the information they requested, they can't delay. Plain and simple. Oh wait, maybe instead this is all part of the DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE" :lamo

Paranoid Cons are funny.

Oh my, yet another fail....

"Rosenstein made the request in an email sent to the nation's 93 U.S. attorneys, according to a letter obtained by The New York Times."

Another one who refuses to read.....:doh
 
j-mac said:
Everyone still want to say that Rosenstein is as a Trump appointee honest, or non political? This more than anything should show that he is a bureaucrat first and foremost, and as such I would say quite liberal in his view of Trump....Why he ever appointed him as Deputy is beyond me...These people are swamp personified....

Who are serving at the pleasure of Trump. If he thinks they're deep state operatives who can't be trusted to do a document review, am I supposed to get a sad because Trump's too lazy and incompetent to fire them and get his own people in those jobs 18 months into his presidency?

Also, too, who do you want doing the reviews? Apparently you've got a problem with US Attorneys deciding on some of the staff, so what alternative would make you happy? Just bitching about the solution Rosenstein came up with isn't an answer to anything, unless you just want to complain about....something today.

Sorry but Reid didn't nuclear the SCOTUS appointments. That was your boy. Hope you like it when it comes around again to bite your side in the ass. I hope the Dems when they get back in power nuclear everything and shove the Republicans back in the closet like they deserve.

You're insulting bs aside...I see what you are saying, but it doesn't help your case....So, according your theory, Rosenstein is doing this on request of Democrats?
