Former deputy Attorney-General Rod Rosenstein wrapped himself in pious declarations as he violated the Constitution
"To get a FISA search warrant you need an affidavit signed by a
career federal law enforcement officer who swears [here he raised
his right hand for effect] that the information in the affidavit is true
and correct to the best of his knowledge and belief. And if it’s wrong .
. . that person is going to face consequences . . . you can face
discipline or even prosecution.”
--Then-deputy Attorney-General of the United States Rod Rosenstein, speaking to supporters at the now-defunct "Newseum," May 1, 2018
On the FBI's FISA application to wiretap Trump advisor Carter Page, Rosenstein certified as true a number of statements that were blatantly false. In other words, he lied. So far he hasn't been charged with any crime, nor has he been disciplined in any way.
"There have been people who have been making threats...against me for quite some time now. And they should understand by now that the Department of Justice is not going to be extorted. We’re going to do what’s required by the rule of law. And any kind of threats that anybody makes are not going to affect the way we do our job . . . You raise your right hand and you swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution . . . you promise to bear true faith and allegiance to the same . . . and everybody in the department takes that oath and if they violate it, they know they’re going to be held accountable.”
-- Then-deputy Attorney-General Rod Rosenstein
Rosenstein piously invoked the Constitution, and the oath he supposedly swore to "support and defend" that document. He violated that oath, but has not been held accountable in any way.
Imagine how fast the Democrats would have jailed this azzhole for exactly the same behavior if he'd been a Republican targetting a Democrat president.
