OK, people, we have a lot to get to here and not much time before the rioters arrive in the suburbs looking to get pummeled. So let’s just get started.
1. Rod Rosenstein puts everybody under the bus
I didn’t watch all of former deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, but I saw enough to be entertained.
The eight minutes and change Rosenstein spent with Ted Cruz were really all you needed to hear. It captured the essence of what Rosenstein had to say, which was, “Hey guys, my position is that I got rolled by my subordinates because I never dreamed they would have cooked all this Mike Flynn and Russia stuff up out of thin air; I’m just as surprised as you are about that.”
Cruz is, of course, not surprised, as he’s known the Russia–Flynn business for the outright capital abuse it is for a very long time. And he delivered a sharp left hook to Rosenstein during the exchange.
“Either that you were complicit in the wrongdoing, which I don’t believe was the case,” he said, “or that your performance of your duties was grossly negligent.”
