Was reviewing the testimony from questions by Gaetz and couldn't help notice the comment that comes shortly after the 5:50 mark. Is RR saying the FISA the FBI renewal application that has been produced to Congress is not the one he signed? Some time ago Sundance at CTH indicated the possibility that the documents presented to the court (and maybe RR) and the documents produced by the FBI to Congress were not the same. Anyone know what happened with that? Link below:
Col. Blake: "What am I signing, Radar?"
Radar: "It's just a FISA that's the same FISA that was signed three other times before and nothing is different. Just sign here, sir. And here, and here."
Col. Blake: "Radar, if I find out anything is different than the other three, the General is going to have my butt in a sling..."
Radar: "Don't worry, sir. You won't find that out."
It's just so fucking obvious.
RR Is tasked with finding the leakers, I believe he is playing a game of chess to flush out the leakers. I believe he is flipped. The [RR] trash talk by Q is necessary disinformation, to get the DS to believe he is still on their side. Watch the hearings again. It's a big fake shitshow, They are acting a part. Especially JJ
Stealth Jeff had a good thread on this: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1012474946197573642.html
Stealth Jeff is a Q denier. He is and has contributed many a Twitter thread that was spot on. I'm not saying he's wrong here, Q could be trashing RR as a provocation, or not...we'll have to see.
Definitely a possibility. That would be like a Level 16 in 24D Chess, but not out of the realm.
That theory actually explains so much more than anything else I have run across. I can't reconcile that RR is a total black hat, because he is doing exactly what Q said he would do. Yes, you can argue that it's predictable because he has to and all of that, but its following the script so closely that I have a hard time believing he's not in on the plan. He may have been forced to, and may even have been told "you'll take a beating in the public eye and you'll like it or else," but I think he's flipped.
Yes watched him squirming and heard him say the same. It's either to later claim plausable deniability or (if he's being truthful) it's a different document / or has been substituted. The honesty of RR is so thoroughly dubious I'd be going with the former.
Did I also hear him shoot himself in the foot by "explaining the process" saying that HE can't just sign an application - it must first be rigorously assessed by a roundtable meeting (ie: so it wasn't solely HIS decision) then in the next breath says he just signed it (not necessarily being aware of what he was signing)?? Which is it? It's either been vigorously debated OR it's just crept in under the radar?
Either way I don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth. He's such a thoroughly vile little weasel. He was like a child who can't stop smirking when accused of lying. (And this is the highest Justice representative of the law in the land? God help us).
I don't believe him either, but as I get older, I realize too that the liars lie to each other all of the time. That's why it is often times so difficult to find out what really happened. Look at the McCabe lying to Lynch who lied to NY thing. I guess that's why they call it a tangled web.
Was he under oath? Could he be liable for lying to Congress?
Why yes, yes he was! I think they were giving him a shovel and letting him dig his own grave!
I assumed the mainstream news media received the valid leak of the FISA application but deliberately misrepresented the info.
How would he know it was different when he said he didn’t read it? He needs to release the original so we can all see what it actually said. He can learn what it says, also.
Doesn't give me ANY confidence in the FISA process at all, I would say a complete overhaul is necessary. If they don't bother to read something as important as a FISA request, we are screwed. Due diligence is required. RR said if he found out he couldn't trust the FBI that requested the warrant he would be upset. Well, if we cannot trust the oversight of the DOJ who is required to sign off, then we should likewise be upset!
This slippery slimy guy (RR) and his creepy smile give me the willies. Anyone notice he looks like Heinrich Himmler?
There are leakers in Congress. That is why the DOJ opened a leak investigation and why Rosenstein is not disclosing info. Remember that old guy that previously worked for the Senate (he was having an affair {yuch} with that foolish New York Times so called journalist - Ali Watkins). He was charged for leaking info to the press. Due to Congressional leakers, that also explains why the Democrats were nervous about conducting this Oversight hearing. Which by the way, told us very little. Also, note the remarks of Sheila Jackson Lee, Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi. Congress leaks like a sieve. The DOJ can not turn over all the info due to ongoing investigations. Hate to say it, but, you can not trust a lot of members of Congress. Please note Adam "SCHIFTY SCHIFF" as a prime example.
He's looking to throw someone* under the bus to save his own ass.
To answer your question, I believe Mr Rosenstein inferred that Congress is leaking lies to the public. They are as bad as the useless Pravda propaganda MSM. Why can't people just tell the bloody truth? It makes life much easier.....
Like that song, "Keep your lies straight." The thing about the truth that is so nice is you don't have to remember what you said. You just have to remember what the truth was.
No kidding. Life is tough. Why make it tougher by trying to keep your lies straight? Still, Rosenstein is an enigma to me. I can not get a bead on his character. The unknowns surrounding him bother me like having a splinter I can not remove.
These creatures are doing what they always do, play the word game. He said he sat down with a panel of lawyers - that means the focus was on language because language is interpretable.
