Did we know that Rod Rosenstein was directly involved in covering up Fast & Furious for Obama/Holder, and responsible for spying on journalist Sharyl Attkisson who broke both that story and Benghazi? And who is still suing said government officials for spying on her?

And likely turtles don't care if you call them turtles.
Hmmm, I heard it on Viva Frei & Barnes' show this week. Robert Barnes is pretty deep in DC politics, usually taking the conservative clients.
Journalist Can’t Sue Rod Rosenstein for Alleged Illegal Spying on Her Family During Obama Admin Because of Qualified Immunity
Television journalist Sharyl Attkisson and her family sued former deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein for illegally spying on them in violation of the Fourth Amendment and federal law during the Obama administration. A federal court dismissed the lawsuit earlier this week by finding that Rosenstein is entitled to qualified immunity.
The controversy has taken numerous paths through the legal system since the Attkissons claimed they discovered that the government had hacked into their computers and cellphones in 2014—first filing a lawsuit against former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, former U.S. Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, and numerous “John Doe” agents with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) based on alleged violations of the First and Fourth Amendments.
The Tuesday decision notes the case’s initial claims:
The Plaintiffs had specifically alleged that Holder was personally involved in discussions that centered on Sharyl’s “Fast and Furious” reporting, and that he directed one of his aides to “get a ‘handle’” on her reporting. The Plaintiffs also alleged that Donahoe was ultimately responsible for the use of the USPS network to infiltrate the Attkissons’ devices and the unconstitutional monitoring of mail as part of a mass surveillance program.
In January 2020, based on new information from an anonymous source, the Attkissons tried again. This time they alleged that Rosenstein along with several other named defendants—including the FBI’s former D.C. head Shawn Henry—directly facilitated the spying and violated their Fourth Amendment rights as well as two statutory violations of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act.
Rosenstein and Henry responded to the lawsuit with a motion to dismiss based on qualified immunity and other grounds.
On Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge Richard Bennett in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland ruled in all the defendants’ favor—dismissing the case against Rosenstein, Henry and even the defendants who didn’t ask the court to dismiss the lawsuit.
Judge Bennett found that the Fourth Amendment claims were barred by collateral estoppel—the legal doctrine that bars courts from constantly re-litigating the same basic claims. Here, the court determined that the Attkissons’ claim, known as a Bivens claim, had already been litigated against Holder. A Bivens claim is the only remedy for suing a federal agent who deprives a person of their constitutional rights and is based on the landmark Supreme Court case of Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents.

It's hard to sit out this war.
If you noticed, China is making all of the belligerent and aggressive moves she was forecasted to make when successful at planting their puppet in the White House.
Or so they thought.
The normies, and I have always believed this, are going to need their normie news people to catch them up to speed. Otherwise, they wouldn't still be normies. And I do expect their news people to start reporting the actual news, when the war gets hot enough.
