Many were surprised earlier this week when Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein seemed to be cleared of wrongdoing… at least in the eyes of the President. He traveled with the President aboard Air Force One and whatever he said seemed to be enough to not only keep the President from firing him, but to get the President leaning towards his corner as other questions and accusations surfaced.
Rosenstein has been accused of offering to wear a wire to tape the President so he and members of the cabinet could invoke the 25th Amendment and have him removed from office. Rosenstein and others in the room at the time claim he was being sarcastic, but a pair of prominent figures claim he was dead serious.
He has been invited to testify on Capitol Hill as many lawmakers aren’t convinced by defense that he was joking. He has declined.
Trump ‘surprised’ Rosenstein won’t testify, after hearing his side of the ‘wire’ story
“I’m a little surprised that Rod wouldn’t do it,” Trump said during a lengthy interview on “Fox & Friends.”
The president was referring to the stalled negotiations to bring Rosenstein to Capitol Hill as early as Thursday to testify on the allegations. Those talks reached an impasse Wednesday, and some GOP lawmakers have even called for Rosenstein to be subpoenaed in response.
My Take
The President has been known to fall for convincing sale pitches and takes people at their word. This has been demonstrated in his hiring practices where people who sound good in an interview but turn out to be less than truthful about their past. There are several examples, but the most glaring is the case of E. J. Ridings.
He billed himself as a top executive at one of Wall Street’s most prestigious investment banks, an established leader in the mortgage industry, and a rising star with 15 years experience in the financial industry. Trump hired him to be President and CEO of Trump Mortgage.
As it turned out, Ridings had been at Dean Witter Reynolds for three months and was a registered broker for six days before quitting. He had no other verifiable experience in the industry before Trump tapped him to lead his mortgage company.
If Rosenstein sounded convincing and seemed credible to the President, it’s possible that the many who ordered the Robert Mueller investigation conned the President into thinking he was on his side. Then again, the people who are claiming Rosenstein was serious about wearing a wire, two “senior FBI officials” according to former FBI general counsel James A. Baker, were likely not allies of the President.
The President seems to trust him which is all that really matters. Then again, the President trusted Omarosa Manigalt, Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort, Jeff Sessions, and many others who haven’t been very helpful.
