Rosenstein supposedly had a very good reputation prior to joining the Trump administration. It appears that his good reputation was not well deserved as he acts like an incompetent tool. Here’s what Senator Harris had to say about Rosenstein’s competence or lack there of.
Drip. Drip drip drip. I’ve seen the instant hot takes about Rosenstein. Better to wait and see what’s revealed. [popcorn gif]
(Yes, yes, this kind of “wait and see” attitude is total opposite of my take on those who, in November, saw Trump win the presidency and took a “wait and see what he does” attitude while I was saying, OMG! Authoritarianism! Grifting from the Oval Office! To the barricades!)
Well, this guy’s reputation is now in the toilet !
Rosenstein essentially stabbed Comey in the back - for no reason, other than he wanted to???
So much for another of Trump’s toadies.
“He did acknowledge that he learned that Comey would be removed prior to him writing his memo.”
“What’s that?"
“The laundry basket?”
“No, next to it.”
“I don’t see anything next to it.”
"It’s my last shred of dignity. It’s very small.”

Everything that comes into close contact with T***p turns into shit. Including reputations.
The same for Spicer and it looks like H. R. McMaster is in line for the Trump effect as well.
Trump has the reverse Midas Touch…everything he touches turns to dross.
Sounds like Rosenstein was willing to stab Comey in the back … as long as the shiv was found in Trump’s hand.
Still, also sounds like he’s helping put the screws to Trump, so I’ll shut up … for now.
He did what Trump told him to do. Like all good hombres.
