Brilliant move on the part of Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein’s resigning Monday, effective May 11. Twelve days after the Mueller Report was released.
Rosenstein as you remember was one of the last survivors of the Obama administration. He was clinging to a life boat as James Comey was fired. He brilliantly played along with Trump's corrupt new "In-Justice department" as long as he needed to see the Mueller Report to completion.
And, let's call this what it is CORRUPTION at the highest level when the President who is accused of obstruction of justice places his men, fires opposition withing our D.O.J..
You know if the Democrats didn't win the House of Reps last November Rosenstein would have been out within days! The Mueller Report would be shredded and in a trash heap along with McDonald's wrappers from VIP guest visits in the white house.
Rosenstein almost got fired when Trump got wind of a message where Rosenstein suggested the invoking the 25th Amendment (Impeachment of a sitting President) to save the Country. He called Trump, probably begged for mercy, because that's the way you live UNDER A DICTATOR... To remain in his position Rosenstein had to return Trump's favors. He was the one forced to write the infamous memo explaining IN TRUMP'S WORDS why Comey was fired. "Because people lost faith"... Pure Trump BS.
Today, Republicans are using Rosensteins actions against him. That's the price a person pays when they bow to a King. Reminds me of when the Republicans blackmailed Obama into singing bills for oil production so he could get their signatures on clean energy bills. For years the Republicans would turn around and say "Obama wanted more oil".
I can think of no more dangerous foe for Trump than a man who has a lifetime of legal experience, inside the most powerful justice system in the world WHO IS NOW A FREE AGENT!!!
Rosenstein was bound to loyalties under William Barr, the joke of an Attorney General, chosen by Trump, for one purpose TO SABOTAGE THE MUELLER REPORT!
Well, truth is Rosenstein's team now!
You can bet there's tire marks on streets from the D.O.J. to the front door of the New York Southern District Court.
REPUBLICAN OPINION: "Rosenstein is a shamed man" Ha! they're using Trump's forced actions to smear his reputation.

DEMOCRATIC OPINION: Department officials close to Mr. Rosenstein had previously signaled that he would leave after the completion of the report by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III
"(Rosenstein) trying to thread a needle, striving to preserve the rule of law and protect one of the department’s most important investigations while publicly praising a president who he knew was determined to undermine both. It meant Mr. Rosenstein often disappointed critics on the left and the right."
