The unbiased truth is not his objective. Heâs just being a good little Republican and leaving the option of cover-up open and âplausiblyâ deniable.
I do not like to âjudgeâ people on looks, etc. but the Trump Administration seems intent on finding people that âlook the partâ of RWNJs to fill their posts. Stephen Miller, Carter Page, Jeff Sessions, etc. etc. THIS one just LOOKS scary. GOEBBELESQUEâŚ
Holy⌠Is it just me, or does that dude looks like an emotionless serial murderer in that picture?
Not just you - thatâs exactly what he looks like - a soulless serial killer, a/k/a Nazi.
This guy is actually quite respected and is known for being thoughtful and fair. I would not commit either if I were him. He is not saying he will but he is not saying he wonât and he is making clear that he needs the facts first. Imagine that!
So we obviously donât expect him to last long enough in the current administration to decide about a special prosecutor. Or possibly even what to have for dinner.
Perhaps. Would you like some fava beans and a nice Chianti, sir?
I am glad to hear that he is respected. I heard an argument on MSNBC Friday night that said we donât want a special prosecutor, because the a prosecutor has to look for criminal acts. The issues that we are looking at - treason and foreign collusion - are not technically criminal, so he/she would have to ignore them. We want a special investigation.
Wow! He looks bigly constipated!
Right, thereâs a good primer on the different investigative options:
Itâs 1861, but in new clothes. Half the country thinks the President is a traitorous bastard whoâs openly colluding with a foreign power that helped install him, while the other half either denies anything untoward is happening, or is fine with that collusion. Itâs hard to see how this ends well.
McCain, Graham, Collins, Flake, Sasse, Murkowski, Rubio
At most, thereâs only one of the above who would buck McConnell and Trump. I think thereâs a slim possibility that Sasse could, but I sure as hell wouldnât bet on it. Rosenstein worked for Kenneth Starr during the Whitewater phase of Starrâs witchhunt (he left Starrâs group before the Lewinsky affair blew up), so heâs firmly established his partisan bona fides. Nobody would be more shocked than me if he appointed a special prosecutor who was truly interested in getting to the truth.
The only thing that will get a real investigation going is somebody in the IC community spilling the beans to somebody in the media or in Congress. Otherwise this thing will simmer for four years but never boil over.
McCain, Graham, Collins, Flake, Sasse, Murkowski, Rubio
If any of the above vote to confirm this man, they are screaming into a megaphone that they donât give a fuck about what Trump and his underlings did and their words mean absolutely nothing.
If they do appoint a special prosecutor, Iâm betting theyâll appoint Bannon.
Heâs been nominated for the (effectively) top spot in the DoJ. He has clearances. I find it hard to believe that he hasnât been briefed enough to form any opinion whatsoever.
No I think youâre right. He actually looks like a character in a movie, playing the part of an emotionless serial killler!!
Why do all of Trumpâs men look like Nazi SS officersâŚthis guy is like text book as is his boss the lying under oath scum bag Jeffy KKK Sessions.
Stephen Miller looks Goebbelsesque. This one looks like the spitting image of Heinrich Himmler:
I stand corrected. I need to âbone upâ on my Nazis.
