(1) Photos of the originalist, conservative, Republican, legal genius and patriot Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein. Here he is with POTUS as recently as 5/23/18.
(2) Rosenstein with Sen Ted Cruz at the WH event where Kavanaugh was announced as the next nominee for the SCOTUS. I've seen a similar photo of Rosenstein greeting Giuliani there and I'm sure other photos will emerge. All perfectly normal for a Dep AG.
(3) With Wray at a recent hearing. I watched all 5 hours of the hearing and had no concerns about the integrity of either of these Trump appointees. Wray in particular clearly thinks the sideshow is a waste of precious time; IMO they both see it as political noise & distraction.
(4) Giving a speech at a high school; possibly the one he attended. Like most high IQ people, Rosenstein has a great sense of humor, but always behaves appropriately in his job.
(5) I collated these photos for use in threads and memes, basically. Rosenstein's mind is sharp as a tack and he exudes confidence and calm under pressure. Lengthy experience as a prosecutor, lawyer, and executive.
(6) Rosenstein gave a rare public interview for Law Day 2018. That was when I and many others finally realized how valuable he is to America and the Trump administration. He was well qualified for promotion years ago: Obama obv didn't want him sniffing around the DOJ head office.
(7) Now that I've learned a bit about Brett Kavanaugh, I can say Rod Rosenstein is his spirit animal. Both family men of faith (Catholic & Jewish, respectively), legal mentors, community-involved, lived in & near the DC swamp but NOT of it. Similar age, two daughters etc.
(8) You can take my #StealthElf Sessions and my #StealthGnome Rosenstein from my cold, dead hands. If you recognize the intellect of President Trump, you understand why he chose these two, why he runs a dual narrative about them, and why he keeps them on. Simple once you think.
(10) I like to imagine Rosenstein, Sessions, & Wray observing the complex crimes of the Obama admin & its remnants like this. Patience is key... when the prosecution cases are ready to succeed against these slipperiest of legal-trained conspirators, all will be revealed.
END
(11) ADDENDUM: The above thread is about photos. The textual information I've gathered about Rosenstein is collated in this thread:
(12) More Rosenstein photos out today... from the Religious Liberty Summit.
(13) Do they look worried? Nope, not at all. Those under investigation are the ones who should look worried.😙
