Rosenstein ORDERS probe into Trump spying…
2018-05-21
[Fox via Right Scoop] Well Trump demanded it today, and Rosenstein followed the command.

From Fox News:

The Justice Department asked its watchdog to look into any alleged "impropriety or political motivation" in the FBI’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election, the DOJ said Sunday night ‐ hours after President Trump ordered a review looking into whether federal agents infiltrated or surveilled his campaign for political purposes.

#15  I guess we will get a similar result to the IRS investigation into themselves for their misconduct against conservative groups.

How soon before we get the “I was only following orders” defensive approach?

#14  Yes Crazy. When Seth Rich set up an appointment with the FBI regarding corruption, the sitaution was settled expeditiously.

#13  Sadly they probably also have a reasonable expectation of comitting suicide by gunshot to the back of the head.... twice.

#12  That was a release statement for anyone thinking of saving their skin in the mess. Anyone in the belly of this coup who steps forward publicly with a mea culpa and a list of names and actions has a reasonable expectation of a 'get out of jail' card. The prisoner's dilemma.

#11  Just another excuse, now it will be "We can't comment because we are investigating internal corruption!?!"

#10  Trump just got his pick to lead the CIA approved. Largest threat to US democracy is the FBI (hint, hint).

#9  They will turn the IG on this and it will not go well for some folks. CNN was reporting that Rosenstein would resign before ordering the probe.... Love the truthful CNN.

#8  He's expanded the IG Horowitz's purview, which probably already included this aspect

#7  Let me guess... He'll appoint that guy Mueller as a special prosecutor to investigate it.

#6  whimper...Do we need another special prosecutor?

#5  Why when I see this The Justice Department asked its watchdog do I always flash on Foghorn Leghorn cartoons? George P. Dog to the rescue?

#2  Rosentein? Would somebody find Sessions and determine if he is not just a figment of my imagimation?

#1  To do: Find a bunch of swamprats to do the investigation, grant everyone immunity, question a few behind closed doors, forget to write down softball questions and answers, declare "matter" closed.
