Support NeoGAF

[Lonestar]

What was GAF's opinion on Adm. Rogers. Don't know much, besides this meeting and that 1st big meeting seated next to Comey. Not knowing much, for some reason I trust him, but I'd hate to be mistaken if he was another snake.

Comey came in and he caught me redhanded
Creepin' with the Tsar next door
Picture this, we were both butt naked
Getting pissed on by a Russian whore

What did future president Kamala do?


Edit: nvm I see it

Here's what happened just before

Rosenstein seeks meeting with Senate Intelligence leaders

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has requested to meet with the Senate Intelligence Committee, including committee chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and vice-chairman Mark Warner (D-Va.), sources told POLITICO.

Rosenstein was seen walking into the Senate Intelligence Committee space as the panel was holding a hearing on worldwide threats.

The request came after President Donald Trump unceremoniously fired FBI Director James Comey, citing a three-page letter from Rosenstein questioning the director’s fitness to serve. It also came amid reports that Rosenstein, a well-regarded federal prosecutor, was furious over the White House’s characterization of his apparent recommendation and even threatened to quit.

Unclear. Best case scenario. Appointment of a special prosecutor.

Most significant because he's talking to both Burr and Warner. Warner's shown pretty thoroughly he's for real with this investigation.

What are the implications of this?

The guy who Trump and the AG have pinned on firing Comey just crashed a public hearing and key members of the public hearing are now leaving to go into a closed doors hearing with person who is reported to be very not happy with being the fall guy for Comey getting the pink slip.

Current rumor is that DAG is super pissed at WH because they are using his write up for justification.

I think the timing of this meeting with Rosenstein is telling. He wanted to be noticed, he wanted it to be news. They were trying to make him the fall guy, and he's having none of that shit.

 

[Mahonay]

Thanks for the replies. Its just the way he opposed the need for additional resources. I got in late and he was speaking to Tom Cotten.

That's the Republicans trying to infer that "Comey being fired doesn't effect the Russian investigation, so it's totally fine". Ignore that part.

McCabe was just sticking up for the FBI saying that they'll still do their job just as well even though Comey just got fired.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Open part of the hearing is over now just waiting for Warner and Burr to come out.

 

[hitme]

Swerve: Rodstein's memo was actually written by Sessions.

 

[Linkura]

He's getting a call from Trump when this is over for sure.

He's not gonna get a call. They're gonna have his bodyguard/cook/maid/shoe shiner deliver a letter to an office 2000 miles from where he currently is.

 

[Fantastical]

In my fantasies Rosenstein acts like he's gonna be a nice fall guy for Trump, lets them deny that there is any tension, then resigns.

Swerve: Rodstein's memo was actually written by Sessions.

i dont think that would be much of a stretch to be honest

 

[RPGCrazied]

Swerve: Rodstein's memo was actually written by Sessions.

If that is true he should flat out resign. He lied under oath. He said he would recuse himself of this.

 

[Tovarisc]

In my fantasies Rosenstein acts like he's gonna be a nice fall guy for Trump, lets them deny that there is any tension, then resigns.

Word going around is that Rosenstein is on edge of resigning because he was made fall guy for Comey's firing. DOJ naturally denies this.

 

[jstripes]

I think the timing of this meeting with Rosenstein is telling. He wanted to be noticed, he wanted it to be news. They were trying to make him the fall guy, and he's having none of that shit.

Historic things could be happening right now.

Anyone with half a brain can smell how fishy the timing was, and I think people with authority are starting to get tired of all the shenanigans and want to get to the bottom of things.

Yeah you're right. This is dramatic AF, it's like a nerd who wants to stand up to a bully and let the school know he ain't a bitchass

[jiiikoo]

Huh?

Like we can trust the DOJ spox

Mm'm. Not sure if she's the same one who yesterday lied thru her teeth.

 

[rec0ded1]

Waiting for these guys to come out of the meeting...man this shit is INTENSE

If I went back in time and told my highschool self I'd be so into political going ons in the future to the point I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for people to exit a meeting, his head would explode.

 

[Preezy]

I keep expecting it to be like the ending of Shawshank where they're going around arresting everyone.

"Come on Donald, make it easy on yourself"

 

[Rebel Leader]

Huh?

Like we can trust the DOJ spox

 

[KernelPanic]

If that is true he should flat out resign. He lied under oath. He said he would recuse himself of this.

If Rosenstein is legit and was duped somehow then he should stay on as he has the power to appoint special prosecutor and let the investigation continue until the truth comes out.

 

[marrec]

Who is Boente? I know the other players here.

Boente was acting Attorney General earlier this year before Sessions.

 

[Mahonay]

Huh?

Lol nah. It just suddenly popped up in the middle of the hearing. I don't buy that.

 

[Greigor The Fellhand]

Dana Boente?

Thats.. the AG for the Eastern district.. where a rumored grand jury is and several indictments

 

[mjc]

Flores has openly contradicted herself a few times in the last 48 hours. I trust her as far as she can be thrown.

 

[Apharmd]

Huh?

DOJ spokespeople also said that Comey wasn't asking for additional resources for russian investigation

 

[Linkura]

Huh?

Bullshit. DOJ are known liars now.

 

[super-heated plasma]

I feel this is it guys. I just got a feeling this is finally leading to his downfall for good.

 

[TheCochese]

Huh?



Mm'm. Not sure if she's the same one who yesterday lied thru her teeth.

Fucking liar, and Sessions spox.

 

[kris.]

holy shit, so many people outside of that room. this is insane.

 

[cooljeanius]

Who is Boente? I know the other players here.

Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia court that apparently is the one with the indictments.

Department of Justification indeed

We are so goddamn close to bagging this evil keebler elf

Please be something massive

 

[Talamius]

Lol nah. It just suddenly popped up in the middle of the hearing. I don't buy that.

Agreed. Burr and Warner are not going to walk out of the middle of a hearing over some bullshit.

Something's up.

 

[Tahnit]

Huh?



Mm'm. Not sure if she's the same one who yesterday lied thru her teeth.

Then why is he going while there is another meeting going on. That doesn't make sense.

 

[plagiarize]

I feel this is it guys. I just got a feeling this is finally leading to his downfall for good.

Sarcasm or not, that's not what we're expecting.

This is a train crashing. Very very slowly. That's how it works.

 

[theclosetfan]

Huh?



Mm'm. Not sure if she's the same one who yesterday lied thru her teeth.

She's a former Ted Cruz spokesperson. She has zero credibility.

Must be but then again will be nothing.
