Few can appreciate the complexities Rod faced during that tumultuous time and even fewer will know the important contributions he made to the administration and the country.
That was William Barr in One Damn Thing After Another: Memoirs of an Attorney General, in reference to former deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein, “a consummate professional with a broad and deep understanding of the department’s business.” As the people may recall, after Jeff Sessions recused himself, Rod Rosenstein suddenly appointed Barr’s longtime friend Robert Mueller as the special counsel to investigate duly elected President Donald Trump. Democrats charged that Trump colluded with Vladimir Putin to win the 2016 election and deprive Hillary Clinton of victory.
Assisted by a squad of partisan Democrats, Mueller found no evidence for the charge. So the people might now appreciate some detail about the “complexities” Rosenstein faced, and all the “important contributions” he made to the administration and country. Barr doesn’t say, and his book, released in 2022, gives the people cause to wonder.
Barr tasked U.S. Attorney John Durham to look into the Russia hoax, but “I made it clear that neither President Obama nor Vice President Biden were in Durham’s crosshairs.” Here’s an Attorney General who holds some people above the law. The reader might think that the composite character and Delaware Democrat were still in power at the time.
Without conducting any thorough investigation, Barr claimed he saw no evidence of voter fraud that could have changed the 2020 vote. During the Biden-Harris administration, Barr backed FBI harassment of Donald Trump, including the armed raid on Mar-a-Lago in which FBI agents pawed through the garments of Melania Trump. For Barr, it was the FBI that was being “jerked around,” not the former President and First Lady.
One Damn Thing After Another is basically an amicus brief for the FBI, the deep state and the never-Trump squads. Since Trump regained the presidency, Barr has kept on the quiet side about the FBI and all those great things Rod Rosenstein accomplished for the country. Maybe the former attorney general believes the people don’t have a right to know.
