Hmmm. I missed this live tweet from #SmallRod Rosenstein’s speech yesterday. Rod really said that DOD is working on the vote-changing op? Seems to insulate that part of our defense from Barr’s interference, no?
This quote from Rod’s speech suggests that election protection is being treated as a “combat” operation. That counters the despair-troll line that nothing is being done to protect us, and Trump’s already a dictator who will never leave office.
Interestingly, the whole DOD involvement seems to characterize election interference by Russia (and perhaps other nations) as an ACT OF WAR. If we are in “combat” to fight it, doesn’t that follow? It reopens the door to overt treason charges many thought closed.
(FWIW, I think capital espionage charges adequately cover the bases for whatever Americans were involved. Treason’s kind of overrated.)
But if this Schwenk’s characterization of Rosenstein’s comments is correct, I think we know where the “missing” counterintel half of Mueller’s report has landed. Eh?
