Rod Rosenstein Defends Justice Department Handling of Mueller Report

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein defended the Justice Department’s handling of the special counsel’s still-secret report, saying Attorney General William Barr is “being as forthcoming as he can” about his process for redacting and releasing the roughly 400-page document.

In his first interview since the conclusion of the special counsel’s investigation, Mr. Rosenstein beat back suggestions that Mr. Barr is trying to mislead the public by releasing only a four-page summary of Robert Mueller’s investigation. The attorney...

Shame on Rosenstein!

I'm very disappointed in rod-is this why you were on the plane with trump⁉️

BarrObstruction BarrCoverup

No he’s not & Rosenstein knows it. Bill Barr has always been brought in by the RepublicanParty when they needed a FIXER to bury damaging evidence ON the Republican Party. Just TODAY we learn Barr just waived emolument violations & Trump can make unlimited 💰from Foreign Govt.

Barr is being set up.

We don’t need Barr to be forthcoming...we need him to release the entire report immediately. MuellerReport ReleaseTheReport

Says the guy who wanted to invoke the 25th amendment and wear a wire because he knows Trump is SICK and dangerous but now all of a sudden changes his tune because he is holding on to his job Rosenstein GreedOverCountry NoIntegrity

Liberal heads everywhere are exploding. They threatened war in the streets if Trump fired RR, now they claim he's part of the coverup. 😂🤣😂🤣

Then release the full mueller report!! We want to see it with our very own eyes! I see a pattern every time people flip near trump? What kind of fuckery is trump offering to backstabbed America Does Russia have access to NSA

“Tremendous” is a 45 word. I think Rosenstein is amoral spineless toady. He had to protect Mueller & it wasn’t for country like some people may think. It’s ODD that Rod had a meeting w/45 on AirForce 1 & all of a sudden 45 thinks he’s great.

Disappointed in that comment!

Dems will Turn on him

DeeDeCrist I would not trust rottenstain with my refrigerator !!!

Why am I not surprised! Trashing Pres.,Trump & those leaning Con/Rep. is what the mean Spirited, deluded, power mad Dem.,Leaders do. The honest AG Barr deserves so much better treatment. He is being disrespected for doing his duty! If he makes a mistake, surely Barr will fix it!

Bullshit

That is true. He is being as forthcoming as he can because he can't tell the truth. He is working his best to make sure the lies are out and are believed before he really has to give the report up. He needs to make sure the Trump supporters are brainwashed with Trump not guilty.

What a shame that Barr would come back like this just to end up trashing his own reputation. “Everything Trump Touches Dies”!

Bullshit.

Now we know why Donald Trump didn't fire him he's part of the cover-up.

No need to defend.. he going by the law Never mind the Dems.. they whine when they don’t get their way

nytimes NicolleDWallace maddow How can Rosenstein defend William Barr when he was mimicking Donald Trump. Remember as Nancy Pelosi said he is the AG for America not the AG for Donald Trump. His performance at the hearing in front of the House Judiciary Committee was shameful.

Puzzle me this: Is Rosenstein a good guy or a bad guy? I'm leaning bad.

AG Cheese Barr is nothing less than a trump campaign official. He's memorized all the sound bits to say it on tv. So incompetent, how did he get here ?

Mueller Report is public interest document, paid for the public. Why redact? I don't understand the logic?

Can’t wait to have them name the Obama & Hillary Spy ring in June. Good times coming.

theyknowheisUNFIT

About as forthcoming as a nervous boyfriend on the Maury Show.

Rod Rosenstein IS A REPUBLICAN, and HE HAS SEEN THE LIGHT!!!! HE NO LONGER works for the people. HE NOW WORKS FOR TRUMP!!!!!

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said Attorney General William Barr is 'being as forthcoming as Trump is“ about his process for redacting and releasing the special counsel's report

You mean as fourth coming as he can without Trump going to jail.

'Forthcoming as he can' without offending the criminal in chief. Why does this seem like mission impossible?

Whatever. They both are in the tank. Funny how Trump didn’t fire Rosenstein after all the wire talk.

That's the problem. Barr is a spineless corrupt puppet and this is as forthcoming as he gets.

When the actual report is out the Dems will hav another mental breakdown .. they r already in a tizzy with AGBarr suggesting there was spying ! ObamaSpyGate

Don't forget mentioning Mueller is working with AG Barr in deciding what parts of the report will be redacted.

RIP McCabe

POLITICAL INBREEDING HAS PRODUCED A MUTOCRACY!!!

Ya ok rod how’s ur pension doing
