UPDATED: John Dowd: Mueller And Rosenstein Should Not Walk
Brian Cates won't like this, but President Trump's attorney during the Mueller Witchhunt, John Dowd, is saying that Rod Rosenstein needs to be held to account. This is included in a Gregg Jarrett at Fox: Trump attorney accuses Mueller of 'monstrous lie and scheme to defraud' .
The fact that Dowd believes he was lied to and deliberately misled by Mueller isn't news. What's of interest in the article is Dowd's take on how the entire DoJ/FBI campaign against Trump relied on the Steele Dossier--a document they knew to be discredited. It is for this act of corruption that Dowd says Rod Rosenstein must be held to account:
They used it as a pretext to spy on the Trump campaign and investigate the president. This led to the illegitimate appointment of the special counsel, Bob Mueller, who launched an investigation in search of a crime that never occurred. As Dowd correctly stated in his letter, the special counsel appointment was “void” because it was the product of corruption.
On Tuesday, Dowd called Mueller’s investigation and report a sham. “They knew there was nothing there.” Dowd said that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein also knew it and is “just as guilty.”
Dowd said he hopes that U.S. Attorney John Durham, who is currently investigating the Russia hoax, would hold all of them to account for their rampant corruption and dishonesty. “Their three-year investigation was all phony,” he observed.
Trump’s attorney concluded our conversation with these words:
“They knew there was nothing to investigate. People subverted the system of justice. One corrupt act after another. It’s staggering. The lies were monstrous. It was all pretense and fraud. Mueller should not walk. Rod Rosenstein should not walk.”
Once again: Predication.
UPDATE: Rosenstein to testify as part of Graham's Russia investigation probe
Rosenstein, in a statement, confirmed that he would testify.
"I am grateful to Chairman Graham for the opportunity to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee about information that has come to light concerning the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act process and the FBI’s counterintelligence decision-making, as a result of completed inquiries by Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz and ongoing reviews by U.S. Attorneys John Durham and Jeff Jensen," he said.
