Rosenstein airs grievances about the Russia probe, blaming the Obama administration, former FBI Director @Comey, unnamed leakers for polluting the atmosphere before he became DAG and that "some critical decisions about the investigation were made before I got there."

THREAD -->
How did Rod Rosenstein survive after it was reported he offered to wear a wire to take down Trump? Rosenstein, Deputy Attorney General of the United States, assured Trump – the target of Mueller's obstruction probe – that he was on Trump's team.

SCOOP: Desperate to keep his job in Sep 2018, Rod Rosenstein assured Trump he was on his team and would make sure Trump was treated fairly. “I give the [Mueller] investigation credibility. I can land the plane.”
by @mattzap @jdawsey1 @DevlinBarrett #Maddow wapo.st/2UXCPvN?tid=ss…
To keep his job, the deputy AG worked to mollify an often angry Trump. Rosenstein’s actions are under renewed scrutiny, as he played a key role in releasing Mueller’s findings in a way even some of his supporters say was overly favorable to Trump.

Two Mueller prosecutors told DOJ officials they concluded last year they had enough evidence to seek federal criminal charges against Trump for obstruction over his pressuring of Comey to shut down the Flynn probe.

Enter, Bill Barr.

Had it not been for the unique nature of the case—the investigation of a sitting president, and one who tried to thwart and even close down the SC's investigation—the 2 Mueller prosecutors would have advocated that Trump face criminal charges.

Two Mueller prosecutors say they had enough evidence to seek criminal obstruction charges against Trump over his pressuring of Comey to end the Flynn probe ––> Recall, Trump spent the past 2 years targeting every key witness of that incident.

NEW: Maria Butina, who admitted to conspiring to act as a covert Russian agent by charming GOP & NRA leaders and who went out with Trump campaign official JD Gordon during the campaign, was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison.

Friends, there is a LOT to read here. Rosenstein airs grievances about the investigation and atmosphere he inherited, for starters. Thread.
He seems to blame the Obama administration, Jim Comey and unnamed leakers for polluting the atmosphere before Rosenstein got confirmed as Deputy AG.
Of the Russia probe, Rosenstein says,”I did pledge to do it right and take it to the appropriate conclusion. I did not promise to report all results to the public, because grand jury investigations are ex parte proceedings. It is not our job to render conclusive factual findings”

Barr-Huber Meeting
On March 7, Barr had a notable meeting with Attorney John Huber of #Utah, who had been appointed as vice chair of the AG’s Advisory Committee by former AG @JeffSessions to investigate “all the allegations that the House Judiciary Committee members sent to us.”
Sessions wrote:
“Mr. Huber is conducting his work… in cooperation with the Inspector General. The additional matters raised… fall within the scope of his existing mandate, and I am confident that Mr. Huber’s review will include a full, complete, and objective evaluation…”

💥Meeting w/ Trump after his sudden firing of FBI Director Comey was so concerning, Acting director McCabe opened an investigation into the President’s ties to Russia quickly to assure "the case could not be closed or vanish in the night without a trace." washingtonpost.com/world/national…
“I was speaking to the man who had…won the election for the presidency, and who might have done so with the aid of the government of Russia, our most formidable adversary on the world stage, and that was something that troubled me greatly”—McCabe recalling 1st meeting with Trump
💥McCabe: “The president and his men were trying to work me the way a criminal brigade would operate.” He describes Oval O meeting reminiscent of Russia mafia talking of a protection scheme: He felt Trump pressed him to do his FBI bidding if he didn’t want to be fired like Comey.

An article the @FBI really doesn't want you to read, that also shows how laughably wrong the top @washingtonpost reporters can be

THREAD
Remember this from Feb 28 2017? It's an article about the @FBI agreeing to pay Christopher Steele for his Trump collusion information. Written by top @washingtonpost reporters Hamburger & Helderman, it is worth another look given what we now know in 2018: washingtonpost.com/politics/fbi-o…
This SPECIFIC article is important because it was cited in the criminal referral letter for Christopher Steele, sent by Senate Judiciary Chairman @ChuckGrassley. According to that letter, it actually *triggered* the @senjudiciary interest in the Steele-FBI monetary relationship

2. #QAnon states "It was not supposed to be revealed yet that @POTUS is not under criminal investigation" #Q speaks of a "Traitor", and speaks of "HUSSEIN control, HUSSEIN "STATE SECRETS" mentioning "Awan", "AMERICA FOR SALE", and President Trump's reference to "Cheatin' Obama".
3. #QAnon reveals much that suddenly makes sense about the phony Mueller investigation. He points out something painfully obvious but NEVER pointed out on #ClownMedia: There has been "No investigation into WikiLeaks receipt of information"! Relying on #CrowdStrike!!!???
