Rod Rosenstein Slams James Comey

Rod Rosenstein Slams James Comey (Video)

May 15. 2019

Former FBI Director, James Comey, and former Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein, have been getting into a very public war of words. Comey overstepped his bounds at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), making pronouncements on criminal cases in what was the job of the Attorney General at the Department of Justice. Comey also leaked documents to the press, which was inappropriate. This misconduct resulted in U.S. President Donald Trump lawfully terminating Comey from his post and with the approval of Rosenstein.

Comey, still bitter about hearing the words “You’re Fired” from Trump (LOL) has been slamming the president and Rosenstein every chance he gets. While it is amusing watching Comey and Rosenstein fight, it’s getting embarrassing for the FBI and DOJ.

Comey stated of Rosenstein, “I think people like that, like Rod Rosenstein, who are people of accomplishment but not real sterling character, strong character, find themselves trapped. And then they start telling themselves a story to justify their being trapped which is, 'Yeah, he's awful but the country needs me.’”

Rosenstein has now retorted, “So I do not blame the former director for being angry. I would be too if I were in his shoes,” Rosenstein said. "But now the former director seems to be acting as a partisan pundit, selling books and earning speaking fees while speculating about the strength of my character and the fate of my immortal soul. I kid you not."

James Comey: Rod Rosenstein doesn’t have ‘sterling character, strong character’

May 10, 2019 09:39 AM - Former FBI Director James Comey took a swipe at former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein for not having “strong character.” “I think people like that, like Rod Rosenstein, who are people of accomplishment but not real sterling character, strong character, find themselves trapped. And then they start telling themselves a story to justify their being trapped which is, 'Yeah, he's awful but the country needs me,’” Comey, who was fired by Trump from the FBI in May 2017, said in an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper Thursday evening.

“Republicans are doing this in Congress. ‘Yeah, it's awful, but if I speak I'll get defeated and this nation needs me here right now.’ So they start to make little compromises to stay on the team. Talk about collusion, saying that's what I need to do to survive and in the process, he has eaten their soul, they’re lost. So that's what happens to so many people,” Comey said…
