CNN is reporting that Rod Rosenstein said the Mueller report will clear up questions about Russian interference in the 2016 elections?

But CNN accused Bill Barr of lying to Congress about spying conducted on the Trump campaign.

Should we believe Rosenstein or does he have some ulterior motive as well?

CNN accused Barr of lying? I find that hard to believe.
Do you remember who said it, when, anything to help google it? Or do you have a link?

Republicans denied Russian interference initially. Folks seem to forget that.

And Barr is backtraking a lot!

Good question, Mr. Rosenstein is somewhat of an enigma to me. I recall watching the Senate hearing featuring Rosenstein awhile back. I recall being labeled and passed off as a deep state conspiracy theorist here for being cynical of him and his close inner circle FBI team. At this point, I am not sure what to make of him. So far he is backing Barr, which I think is right, good and honorable. The whole mess seems to be one big waiting game for everyone wanting answers and a sense of closure...which I doubt will occur for many years to come. Oddly, for better or worse, I have full confidence in Mr. Barr. The man is not playing games, not putting on a show like so many others.

And remember, both the DNC and RNC had had email servers breached, by the Russians. But the RNC’s were never exposed, and, if the GOPers know what’s good for themselves, they’ll “play ball” so that those emails never see the light of day.

Not exactly.

We denied that whatever the Russians did had any real impact on the election results.

Thank you.
OK that makes more sense. This is Don's Take, Don Lemon's opinion. It's like an opinion piece run in a newspaper or magazine. It's also the opinion of some others, including Pelosi.


....didn't you know Don speaks for CNN (aka MSM)?

No, there was outright denial that the Russians were involved at all.

That's not how I remember it.

I remember that Republicans denied the claim that Russia "hacked the election."

In other words, we denied that the outcome of the 2016 election was because of Russia.

Oh I remember it. There was denial of everything from Russian trolls behind negative stories to denial of any contact between the Trump campaign and Russian officials with quotes of comments that turned out to be lies by members of the Trump campaign.

I don't think you were watching Fox News.

A quick question fort you Htsacianas, since it was Trump that directly appointed Rosenstein to his position, if Rosenstien "has an ulterior motive", is that further evidence of Trump being grossly incompetent, gullible and/or a dreadful judge of character?

Do you not now worry about all of the other people Trump has fumbled into power?

I do not concern myself with anyone who "Trump has fumbled into power". I am asking now, before we hear from Rosenstein, what people's opinions are of him.

Except for Rosenstein, obviously

The same as his boss and boss' boss.
