WASHINGTON — Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who oversaw special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, submitted his letter of resignation to President Donald Trump on Monday, ending his two years at the Justice Department on May 11.
His resignation was expected; he had been saying for a long time that he planned to leave the department once Mueller's probe of Russian collusion and obstruction by the president was completed."I am grateful to you for the opportunity to serve; for the courtesy and humor you often display in our personal conversations; and for the goals you set in your inaugural address: patriotism, unity, safety, education and prosperity," Rosenstein wrote in his resignation letter.
Rosenstein will officially leave the Justice Department on May 11. Rosenstein's successor, deputy transportation secretary Jeffrey Rosen, is awaiting his Senate confirmation. In a statement from Attorney General William Barr, he thanked Rosenstein for his service, writing,"Over the course of his distinguished government career, he has navigated many challenging situations with strength, grace, and good humor. Rod has been an invaluable partner to me during my return to the Department, and I have relied heavily on his leadership and judgment over the past several months.
Stockholm Syndrome, Trump style.
He was told what to write. Might need a pardon.
He turned out to be a turn coat and a betrayal of truth telling.
Very suprising comments from Rosenstien. The Presidents inaugural address was an indictment of the deepstate and washington establishment. Very interesting statement I guess, at least for anyone who's not completely drunk on MSM fake talking points.
how low can you go?
'Thanks for giving me a job no one else wanted, thank you for being nasty to me only part of the time, and lastly, thank you for all those goals you set, although you didn't achieve any worthy ones.'
What? He’s not supposed to be chatting up the Donald!
Good news, should he check with the Democrats first?
Hey Rod, get lost.
Guess he landed the plane.
Really? Does this have anything to do with the mueller report? What’s to dealy whop?
Trumpstein.
Be proud of yourself. You’ve aided and abetted a criminal. Who’s destroying the country. And you’ve made the world less safe for my children and yours. Be proud; very proud. You’ve indeed, crashed the plane
Trump couldnt have wrote it better.
His deer in headlights look during Barr’s presser was creepy. Someone got to him.
“I am also grateful for a valid passport”, Rosenstein in a few weeks
Mr. Stoneface gives it up.
You oversaw an investigation that involved this person 1 were you supposed to be chatting? I’m old enough to remember a brief meeting on the tarmac that caused Republican’s to scream foul!!!
I guess he’s not useful any more
Were you crying when you wrote this sir?
'Cuz Trump's balls ain't gonna lick themselves … that's my job.' -RR
And away goes Dumpette down the drain..
Sycophant until the end. What a pathetic end.
Rosenstein was Roasted on a Grill and then poured into a beer stein.
Get a lawyer for your involvement in the attempted coup Rod.
An ass-kissing coward.
another coward .
Good night
What “personal conversations?”
He...didn’t write this.
“Please don’t release the Russian Kompromat that Putin gave you on me... I landed the plane! This is your Captain speaking!”
He was the one leaking the Mueller probe content to Trump all along. He was clever but a deplorable nevertheless.
Humor, like when you called me a traitor....that was fuckin funny buddy!
I’m all out of popcorn.
