1. I’ve said this before, but everything you really need to know about Rod Rosenstein can be found on his wiki page 😃

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Rosen…

2. “At the time of his confirmation as Deputy Attorney General in April 2017, he was the nation's longest-serving U.S. Attorney.”

3. “President Donald Trump nominated Rosenstein to serve as Deputy Attorney General for the United States Department of Justice on February 1, 2017.”

4. “He graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, with a B.S. degree in economics, summa cum laude in 1986.”

Trump’s Alma Mater

5. “From 1990 to 1993, he prosecuted public corruption cases as a trial attorney with the Public Integrity Section of the Criminal Division, then led by Assistant Attorney General Robert Mueller.”

6. “During his tenure as U.S. Attorney, Rosenstein successfully prosecuted leaks of classified information, corruption, murders and burglaries, and was "particularly effective taking on corruption within police departments."”

7. “Attorney General Eric Holder appointed Rosenstein to prosecute General James Cartwright, a former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, for leaking to reporters. Cartwright pled guilty, but was later pardoned.”

Bone to pick, just like Horowitz

8. “He was one of the 46 United States Attorneys ordered on March 10, 2017 to resign by Attorney General Jeff Sessions; Trump declined his resignation.”

He was one of 2 such attorneys.

9. Re: Mueller, “What I have determined is that based upon the unique circumstances the public interest requires me to place this investigation under the authority of a person who exercises a degree of independence from the normal chain of command."

Trust No One.

10. “In an interview with the Associated Press, Rosenstein said he would recuse from supervision of Mueller, if he himself were to become a subject in the investigation due to his role in the dismissal of James Comey.”

No Obstruction Investigation

11. “On May 17, 2017, Rosenstein told the full Senate he knew that Comey would be fired before he wrote his controversial memo that the White House initially used as justification for President Trump firing Comey.”

He knows what’s going on.

12. Don’t worry. We are in good hands.
