Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsMy 2 cents on Rod Rosenstein, Trump, Russia, and the Mueller Report. It was all kabuki.
So Rosenstein limited Mueller's investigation into Trump having criminal conduct in his
workings with Russia during the 2016 election but at the same time Mueller could not do a
criminal investigation* into Trump because of some bogus DoJ doctrine (not a law) that
a sitting President could not be criminally indicted and so the whole thing was kabuki.
BTW I was taken in by Rod Rosenstein's bullshit too. I saw an interview with him when he
spoke about the rule of law not the rule of politics and look at this big portrait of a former
AG who stood up to FDR even though FDR had appointed him because he believed in the rule
of law not the rule of politics. All the time he was helping give Trump & co. cover for their part
in the biggest series of crimes in US history. AKA working with a hostile foreign power to
undermine our democracy.

"But law enforcement officials never fully investigated Mr. Trumps own relationship with Russia, even though some career F.B.I. counterintelligence investigators thought his ties posed such a national security threat that they took the extraordinary step of opening an inquiry into them. Within days, the former deputy attorney general Rod J. Rosenstein curtailed the investigation without telling the bureau, all but ensuring it would go nowhere."

* BTW Trump, Don Jr, Manafort, Stone, Cohen and so on all lied to the Muller/FBI about
