The most common question I am
asked in interviews these days: "Why doesn't President Trump fire Deputy
Attorney General Rod Rosenstein?" But the better question is: "Why
doesn't Rosenstein just quit?" It's clear that nobody responsible for
picking him wants him around anymore. In case you missed it, even
President Trump
called him out as a hack.
What's clear is that Rod
Rosenstein has been overcome by swamp gas. The deputy attorney general
-- and more importantly, his top staff (we'll get to that in a moment)
-- seems to have forgotten why he has his job. He has it because the
American people wanted the swamp drained of Justice Department
institutionalists.
In case you forgot, Rod
Rosenstein had what it took to remain as United States attorney in
Maryland during the Eric Holder regime of radicalism. Does that explain
why he won't crack down on all the leaks in Robert Mueller's shop?
Ronald Reagan understood that
personnel is policy. And the personnel that Rod Rosenstein has chosen
reveal a great deal about Rosenstein's priorities, and they aren't the
priorities that got Rosenstein his job.
Earlier this year,
liberal BuzzFeed posted
a glowing report on the lawyers Rosenstein brought with him to serve as
his top staff -- swamp creatures all. It explains a lot about the
swampy reaction to Mueller's misconduct:
