I listened to but did not watch William Barr's disgusting Republican spin session yesterday morning, they said that Rod Rosenstein was standing behind Barr so I knew that, I didn't see the unblinking stare of Rosenstein as Barr told lie after lie after lie, which Rosenstein certainly knew were all lies. Lots of guesses as to what Rosenstein's blank, unblinking stare might have meant. I didn't see it but I wonder if he might have been calculating how much credibility he might still have, if he were in such a deficit that he would never get out or which of his buddies in the media and among DC lawyers to get to cover up his bare-assed naked shame for him.
If I had a dollar for every time some Republican or Democratic lawyer or legal scribbler in the media assured us that Rod Rosenstein was a golden boy of legal propriety both before and after his role in Trump's obstruction campaign was revealed, when Rosenstein's note giving Trump an excuse to fire James Comey who wouldn't give Mike Flynn a pass, something Rosensein knew as he gave Trump that excuse, it would add up to a tidy sum. The sum of those who have, since, expressed their shocked surprise that the sleaze has turned out to be a sleaze is lower but I'd certainly have enough to buy a rather nice gardening tool or one of those books I can't afford to buy new.
Anyone who trusts the assurances given about these highly connected, Ivy leaguer lawyers sense of honor, without proof, is a chump. Especially those who buy them from their fellow connected, Ivy leaguer colleagues. Or those who came from the Ivy equivalents. For me, from now on, those types have to earn their credibility and they'll lose it immediately if they stick up for someone as slimy as Rosenstein or Barr.
