AG’s Rosenstein Refuses to Support Call for Special Counsel to Probe FBI Anti-Trump Bias

‘We have a responsibility to make an independent determination and we will’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

ROSENSTEIN: "Yes, congressman. And I can assure you that I consider it very important to make sure that a thorough review is done and our inspector general is doing a thorough review. That’s how we found those text messages as part of that review."
JORDAN: "Let me ask -- you’ve given that answer like 15 times. Let me ask you this. Are you concerned -- I mean, this is what a lot of Americans are believing right now and I certainly do, that the Comey FBI and the Obama Justice Department worked with one campaign to go after the other campaign. That’s what everything points to. Think about what we’ve learned in the last several weeks. We first learned they paid for the dossier. Then we learn about Peter Strzok. And last week we learn about Bruce Ohr and his wife Nellie. This is unbelievable. So what’s it going to take to get a second special counsel to answer these questions and find out was Peter Strzok really up to what I think he was."
ROSENSTEIN: "I think it's important to understand congressman, we have -- inspector general has 500 employees and $100 million budget. And this is what he does. He investigates allegations of misconduct involving department employees. That review that he's conducting is what turned up those text messages. It will also involve interviews of those persons and other witnesses."
