Rosenstein just testified under oath that McCabe lied to him and lacked candor meaning he hid what he knew that would have resulted in Rosenstein making different decisions.

Why did McCabe do that?
Effectively, McCabe did to Rosenstein the same thing but in an opposite direction to what Comey did to Lynch that was the basis for Rosenstein advising Trump to fire Comey.

He usurped the AG on the conclusion that any reasonable prosecutor would pursue an investigation of Trump.
People want to blame Rosenstein for not knowing things that were withheld from him.

We think we are geniuses because we now know the exculpatory evidence but McCabe handicapped Rosenstein. His lack of candor, like so much of the CH investigation, is hard to explain as a mistake.
If you think Trump would’ve been better of if Rosenstein in May 2017 would’ve on a hunch just shut everything down you’re wrong.

DC was aligned at that time against Trump. They were looking for a reason to destroy him. Even Republicans like Speaker Ryan believed the hoax.
What did Trump day in May 2017 after he fired Comey?

Was he demanding the investigation be abruptly shut down?

Nope. He said that although it would confuse people he would actually extend the investigation. That he wanted it done right.
And why does Trump say he will risk confusing people and extending the time of the investigation?

Because he had to do what was right for the American people. What was that? It was to give the public full confidence that a thorough investigation proved he was innocent.
Now he also says that the investigation should have been over a long time ago. In my opinion that’s a hint, a wink, saying I know they have no incriminating evidence.

But Trump wasn’t demanding the investigation be shut down. Why?

Because doing that would have been a mess.
Be angry. Be upset. I’m angry. I’m upset.

But also be grounded in the realities of that moment in time and what was best given those circumstances.

And look at this moment. It’s the perfect timing for the reveal. Yesterday, love of hate him, RR put McCabe in the crosshairs.
