Dear Twitter: I invite you to put on the Rose Coloreds and reconsider the @RodRosenstein narrative. It's a light that makes the DOJ LOOK HONORABLE, not corrupt. A light that honors the rule of law. It's nice ... take a break from the twitterfluenza... don the Rose Coloreds
ROD ROSENSTEIN IS THE DOJ'S GREATEST DEFENDER AND YOU ARE FALLING FOR GRU BULLSHIT. (Really, it'll be nice with the Rose Coloreds on, just doing a little clickbait housekeeping).
So let's start with a mind exercise: IMAGINE YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF RR. You've never heard the "he just stood there" narrative. Kind of an egg headed white guy. Where's a lot of suits. Seems serious. Harvard law. Longest serving US Attorney before appointed DAG.
RR was confirmed on On April 25, 2017 by vote 94-6. On May 6 Trump drafts his "fire Comey" memo at Bedminster. On May 8, 2017, Trump asks Sessions and RR to draft memo on reasons to fire Comey. RR does that. This letter is one of the things that the Twitterverse cites v RR
Rose Colored Glasses re: Mueller Memo: It's an order from a POTUS (not an illegal order to prosecute, etc). If RR is a patriot committed to the Trump Russia investigation - what should he do? Write memo keep fight alive or refuse and get fired? It's obvious.
COMEY V. RR: RR probably REALLY BELIEVES that Comey F'd up on Clinton reveal. Comey did violate DOJ policy. RR HATES violations of DOJ policy. In retrospect, Comey would have done better to follow it. Comey butthurt for being called out on that, takes shots at RR to press.
Rose Colored Glasses COMEY V RR: They can both be dedicated patriots devoted to DOJ/FBI and Rule of Law, yet still not like each other. Comey can be mad about letter. RR can be mad about potshots in the press. ALL THAT MATTERS IS THEY PROTECT THE INVESTIGATION.
May 9 TRUMP FIRES COMEY, as he had already decided to do before the RR Memo. TRUMP THE ACTUAL BAD ACTOR tries to pin the firing on ... RR. If RR was the bad guy, WHY WOULD TRUMP FRAME HIM? With rose coloreds, it looks like the bad guy tried to smear the lawman.
MAY 17 RR hires Mueller as SC. THERE IS NO WAY TO SPIN THIS AS BLACK HAT. RR hired Mueller. Just like a patriot would do. TRUMP'S REACTION, REPORTED IN MUELLER REPORT: “Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my Presidency. I’m fucked.”
THE DEPUTY AG, APPOINTED BY TRUMP, DID SOMETHING SO ANTI-TRUMP THAT TRUMP SAID "This is the end of my Presidency. I'm fucked." That DAG was Rod Rosenstein - this is some Rose Colored Shit.
May 2017-to February 2019. Mueller interviews EVERYONE, gets as much evidence as fast as he can, has unlimited powers, there are NO LEAKS and Mueller testifies he has everything he needs to conduct his investigation. His boss? Rod Rosenstein, Mr. Rose Coloreds himself.
December 7, 2018 Black Hat Bill Barr nominated as next AG. Confirmed Feb, 2019. Mueller report March, 2019. Mueller report reveals 14 investigations given to other prosecutors AND A THOUSAND LOOSE ENDS. Twitter asks WHY? Because RR no longer boss: Barr the Boss.
Between December Barr nomination and Feb confirmation, RR and Mueller execute the failsafe to protect investigation: farm out 14 investigations listed in Appx. D. All sent to independent State and Federal prosecutors, none of whom (unlike Mueller) who were under AG order
Rose Coloreds show clearly that change of prosecution strategy happened in response to Barr's nomination and confirmation. This confirms that RR WAS NOT THE BAD GUY. He was working in lock step with Mueller for as long as he had authority.
SO WHAT DOES BLACK HAT BILL BARR DO? Tries to pin decisions ONLY HE CAN MAKE AS AG on RR; says RR agrees; makes him stand there; says "Rod and I". WE ALL KNOW BB IS A TRAITOR, WHY DO YOU BELIEVE WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT RR? Rose coloreds say "f that shit."
Let's circle back to Strzok/Page. Their text messages were picked up in an IG investigation INTO MISSING TEXT MESSAGES FROM THE RELEVANT TIME PERIOD. oig.justice.gov/reports/2018/i…
So Strzok/Page, key personnel in the investigation, were having an ill advised ilicit affair and CHATTING ON THEIR GOVERNMENT CELL PHONES AND THEY HID THEM FROM INVESTIGATORS. And got busted. Even with Rose Coloreds on THIS LOOKS REALLY BAD. And Strzok was on Mueller's team.
This is WORST CASE SCENARIO type crap. People on Mueller's team doing bad stuff makes MUELLER'S INVESTIGATION LOOK POLITICALLY MOTIVATED. It's ALSO against DOJ Regs and RR HATES VIOLATIONS OF DOJ REGS. And now the dirty laundry goes to Nunes in Congress.
Ran out of time - need to leave!. RR is about to testify before Congress. Nunes has the Strzok/Page texts. DO YOU GET AHEAD OF THE STORY BY GIVING THEM TO THE PRESS, OR DO YOU LET NUNES RELEASE (damaging Strzok/Page) AND ACCUSE YOU OF A COVER UP (damaging DOJ)?
Rose Colored Glasses: Get ahead of the story. Save the DOJ. Protect the Mueller investigation. Suffer the Twitterverse hate. Dirk out.
