Rod Rosenstein is about to go through some things
Arguably the biggest heel turn during the entire Trump debacle was when Rod Rosenstein – who had appointed Special Counsel Robert Mueller in the first place – was revealed to have been sabotaging Mueller’s investigation from the start, and then helped Bill Barr bury Mueller’s findings.
We’ve long been wondering when Rosenstein would finally get called to the carpet for his role in one of the most egregious instances of felony obstruction of justice in American history. It turns out that when a federal judge slam dunked Bill Barr this week, the judge also made things rather ugly for Rosenstein.
Attorney Dirk Schwenk dug through the judge’s ruling and came to this conclusion on Twitter: “I have just begun to dig into Judge Jackson’s ruling re: the March 24, 2019 Memo on prosecuting Trump for obstruction. It looks very bad for Rod Rosenstein. I have always been ready to change opinions in light of evidence. This is evidence.”
Schwenk then posted a lengthy thread detailing how Rod Rosenstein appears to have played a particularly ugly role in the conspiracy to obstruct justice in the name of protecting Donald Trump. The thread is well worth reading. If the DOJ ends up indicting Trump and Barr for obstruction, Rosenstein could end up indicted with them.
