Former Deputy Director of the FBI Andrew McCabe said in a statement on Monday that he was “deeply concerned” that special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the Trump campaign and Russian election meddling would be put “at risk” if Rod Rosenstein leaves the administration, as reports indicate is imminent.
“There is nothing more important to the integrity of law enforcement
and the rule of law than protecting the investigation of Special
Counsel Mueller. I sacrificed personally and professionally to help
put the investigation on a proper course and subsequently made every
effort to protect it. To be clear, I had no role in providing
information of any kind to the media stories about events following
Director Comey’s firing. If the rumors of Deputy AG’s Rosenstein’s
departure are true, I am deeply concerned that it puts that
investigation at risk.”
Indeed it is. And that’s the exact reason why they framed Rosenstein. The New York Times did none of us a service.
Seems that no one is now talking about Kavanaugh’s “Dick Move” now…
When I saw the NY times article, my questions were who are the informants and what is their agenda. It just gives cover to the firing of Rosenstein and dismantling of the probe.
The only thing that give me hope is that shutting down Mueller is going to be attempted by the same people who thought everyone would believe Ed Whelan.
And isn’t that really the point to all this. Obviously, the WH knew this would push Kavanaugh’s drunken pervy behavior below the fold. The timing couldn’t be worse for those running for office in the midterms, but tRump never really can see that far in advance. tRump watches out only for tRump. Its his modus operandi to change the topic, the ultimate focus of the news cycle in a classic bait and switch move. A primo distraction of the highest order. And boy-howdy is it a doozy.
