Yesterday’s senate hearing was a joke. Rosenstein did his Sergeant Schulz impression and claimed he knew nothing but just signed off on everything swearing it was true but claiming he didn’t know. And they all gave him a pass because he said in hindsight, knowing what has been exposed now through no fault of his, he wouldn’t have signed off on the fisa warrant, and there was no evidence to support the Russian collusion narrative or obstruction of justice.

No one asked the tough questions or honed in on his double talking nonsense. Here’s the one question I wanted him to be asked which he couldn’t wiggle out of.

I am sorry that when I covered this previously it was in my now gone older posts and was as a result of articles by Andy McCarthy. However, the DOJ regulations governing appointment of a special counsel require that the appointing official specify the specific crime that is to be investigated. It does not allow appointment of a special counsel to conduct a counterintelligence investigation. So the question that should have been put to Rosenstein was please tell us the crime you authorized the special counsel to investigate and why wasn’t it in your scope memo? He couldn’t have dodged the question because he was the responsible official and the regulations are clear and unequivocal.

My takeaway is that Graham and the rest of the political elites don’t really want to do anything but grandstand and maybe hope that Durham does what they don’t have the balls to do. Then they can say that is what we said all along. Total wusses!
