Rosenstein, Doublespeak and Doublecross
Rosenstein is the consummate Bureaucrat.. slippery as a fresh caught 20 lb Carp.. he says one thing and does another.
We know for sure what his answer would be if the question put to him was: What is your favorite color Rod? Answer (Wait for it) “PLAID.” (Wonder if he learned that at “lawyer school?”)

(CNSNews) The Justice Department must “hold people accountable when they violate the rules,” but it “must never be a partisan actor,” Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said in a speech to the American Bar Association’s annual meeting in Chicago on Thursday. In all cases, agents and prosecutors are obligated to make neutral decisions, preserve personal privacy, protect national security, and insulate investigations from political interference.

Rosenstein’s speech came as President Trump continues to rail against Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation as a “disgrace” …
Donald J. Trump✔@realDonaldTrump
..This is a terrible situation and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further. Bob Mueller is totally conflicted, and his 17 Angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to USA!

(CNSNews) Rosenstein, who is overseeing the Mueller investigation, sprinkled his speech with historical anecdotes, including one about future President John Adams agreeing, out of a “sense of duty,” to represent the British soldiers charged with murdering colonists during the Boston Massacre.

Rosenstein mentioned President Trump by name just once, at the very end of his speech:
President Trump selected a superb team of skilled and principled lawyers to lead the Department of Justice and our U.S. Attorney’s Offices. Attorney General Jeff Sessions emphasizes that we do “not represent any narrow interest or any subset of the American people. We represent all of the American people and protect the integrity of our Constitution.”
We are responsible for helping to develop and faithfully implement the President’s law enforcement policies in a manner consistent with longstanding nonpartisan principles. Our decisions do not please all the people all the time, but they always reflect the care, caution, and wisdom required by the law.
That is what the President appointed us to do. It is what the Senate confirmed us to do. It is what the oath of office obligates us to do. We will keep the faith, defend the Constitution, and promote the rule of law.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our main websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … TLB
