Rosenstein conflicts undermine legitimacy of Mueller's investigation
By Sharyl Attkisson
07/01/18
In his recent testimony to Congress, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein undoubtedly intended to sound reassuring. “I am quite confident,” he proclaimed, “about my conduct throughout this investigation.” Rosenstein may have reason to feel confident. He’s in a difficult position and his conduct may indeed be above board. And, under normal circumstances, Congress and the public might be comforted by his guarantee. But that’s the rub: These circumstances are far from normal. We’re in the midst of one of the most important scandals in memory: Our intel agencies and some public officials within them are suspected of abusing power and misusing sensitive tools under their control as political weapons. The allegations reach far beyond the 2016 campaign and transcend party politics, which makes them all the more insidious in nature. Combine that with the probes into Trump-Russia “collusion” and Hillary Clinton’s classified email practices, and the result may well be the most tangled web of overlapping investigations and competing conflicts of interest we’ve ever seen. In this context, it seems unreasonable to be expected to uncritically accept assurances from Rosenstein or other figures and federal agencies — such as the CIA, the FBI and the Department of Justice (DOJ) — whose behavior is under the microscope. Yet, they currently control much of the evidence at issue and are making crucial determinations about everything from what to turn over to Congress and what to withhold or redact, the propriety of wiretaps and other surveillance, possible prosecutions, whether they should recuse themselves for conflicts of interest, to appointment(s) of special counsel(s) who could investigate their conduct.

That the investigation is based on made up of fictionally created imagination by the Progressive Democratic Left, including those leading the investigation, completely delegitimizes the investigation. The investigation itself is nothing more than a continuation of a RICO worthy criminal conspiracy.
Congress is responsible for the oversight of the Agencies they have created. They're job should be to never butt-out. Everyone should be on the same page here. It behooves everyone to view Congressmen Gowdy and Jordan's interaction with Rosenstein. Summed it up rather well at the end.
The beauty of it all, is that Progressive Democrat leftists live in a CNN bubble. There is so much going on behind the scenes that average voters are clueless. The bubble is about to burst. All Progressive Dem leftists will be able to do is stare into empty space and babble.
The Progressive Dem Leftist illusory truth effect seems to be their preferred strategy these days...Taken straight out of 1984
