Mueller report highlights Rosenstein's role as witness in the investigation he oversaw

The report, a redacted version of which the Justice Department released Thursday, disclosed a previously unknown episode in which Rosenstein, resisted Trump's efforts to get him to take the blame for the firing of FBI Director James Comey.

" "The White House Counsel's Office agreed that it was factually wrong to say that the Department of Justice had initiated Comey's termination, and McGahn asked attorneys in the White House Counsel's Office to work with the press office to correct the narrative," the report says.Eight days after Comey's firing, Rosenstein appointed Mueller as special counsel, and less than a week later Rosenstein sat for an interview as a witness.

His behavior over the past few months since Barr was appointed has trashed his credibility and his continuation in his position in the DoJ is no longer tenable. He is damaged goods and in the same garbage bag as McConnell .

Who cares. The collusion, obstruction bubble has burst. Time to try and repair the shambles of your organization.

You guys are unbelievable! Rosenstein was your hero, now he's undermining Mueller's report!

I'm sorry, but is now grasping at straws, anything they can to spin their impeach Trump narrative. I would think more of CNN, if they would just come out of the closet and say, we support the impeachment of the POTUS. CNN is not a news organization, it's a Democrat.

Lol. What

Now the the report is out and they didn’t get what they wanted, CNN finally recognizes him as a witness. You guys change your mind more than Hillary changes her Depends big girl undies.

Bahahahaha. Some republicans were bitching about this exact same thing a year or so ago and you called them kooks. Now you think it’s legitimate? You truly are pathetic partisans. Stick to covering cat pageants, maybe feel good stories. Leave the news to professionals.

Couldn’t nail Trump, so let’s keep this BS propaganda going by attacking Rosenstein & Barr. CNN & the liberal media are dishonest, deceitful & have caused more harm to this nation than people realize. For 2.5 years they lied to Americans on collusion. Now they’ll continue lying!

You guys are acting like unsupervised second graders who are not getting their way... *** anti-Trump garbage propaganda machine in full on MELTDOWN mode *** Spinning and twisting of words and sentences happening right here folks... Turning real news into FakeNews

Conflicted! Self-preservation made him stay on. So many rats have jumped ship...he stayed on with bucket in hand feverishly bailing water.

Mueller is a witness. He has more conflicts of interests than anyone.

Watching you guys eat your own is absolutely precious. 😂

Where's your poster boy, Adam Schiff?

No obstruction. Say it over and over and maybe a few brain cells will return.

Voting Trump staying by news media still shouting in Us good learning from Indian media

CNN can't talk about collusion so now on to obstruction. I'm embarrassed for you.

Did anything change after his previous meeting with Trump?

You can't have it both ways CNN

I’m sure Mueller, Rosenstein and Barr are now all Russian agents according to TheDemocrats and CNN 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Time to be Frozen and LET IT GO.

CNN coverage of the mueller report. Biased, fake, lies, garbage!!

Hun

Maybe he's a double agent?!

Wow, how quickly they turn.

Now do Fast and Furious

When all else fails, CNN tries grasping at a real fact.

He's there to save his own skin in the game.

Dude just stood there next to Barr, knowing full well Barr was being less than truthful.. and said and did nothing.. so...

Can’t wait for SNL’s parody of this “event” 😂

I think osenstein realized the jig is up and laid out how Obama ordered the illegal spying of a presidential candidates campaign.

Oh! Now you have issues?

Mueller report lays out argument for Congress to continue obstruction of justice investigation“The conclusion that Congress may apply the obstruction laws to the President’s corrupt exercise of the powers of office accords with our constitutional system of checks and balances and the principle that no person is above the law,” he wrote. Trying to make the case for obstruction when the investigation was allowed to finish and found no underlying crime is something the Dems should definitely do. Genius. No doubt in my mind that Barr shut down the Mueller investigation. Nope!
