The talk about impeaching Rod Rosenstein is Congressional over reach and I believe Speaker Ryan is correct in placing any concerns about the work environment into perspective. I also find this latest outrageous movement by the political right wing mentored by Fox News very alarming considering a very unqualified assistant attorney general Brian Benczkowski was placed at the DOJ. There is too much questionable behavior by this administration including the placement of Brian Benczkowski. The USA is not going to kiss Putin’s ass as Trump does.
There is reporting by David Isakoff (spelling) that one of the first acts by Trump as president was to remove any leans or restrictions on property and homes owned by the country of Russia in the USA. Those properties were part of the USA efforts to end spying by Russia within the USA. If my
memory serves me right all those properties were acted upon by President Obama after spies were returned to Russia. By returning those properties to Russia Trump has recreated the danger and opportunity for Russia to return to it’s old activities and what seems like an open door policy to any Russian including one now on indictment.
This is the way I see it. The Republicans want to impeach Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to replace him with “Russian Alpha Bank” Executive Brian Benczkowski so Trump has control over the Mueller investigation.
Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has not done anything wrong to deserve impeachment. He has been demanding in asking for complete reports from department employees. That is Rosenstein’s job. He does it well. However he can be demanding in ways that sours the attitude of coworkers. Rod Rosenstein needs to do better and if he convened a staff meeting and there was dialogue with his staff and coworkers I am confident there would be suggestions and comments to improve the work environment at the DOJ.
This is a difficult time for the Justice Department and the USA, but, the employees of the DOJ are doing vital work the country is counting on. I thank Assistant AG Rosenstein for obvious dedication to the country and his exemplary ethical standards. His work ethic services him well, but, he can a bit of a stiff. I wish the department well in protecting the country, believe me, we are all counting on it.
