Rod Rosenstine Subpoenaed in Manafort Case..
"Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano made this point on Wednesday during an appearance on the network’s morning show, “Fox & Friends.”
.....
The former judge made the same point later in the day during another appearance on the network:
NAPOLITANO: Paul Manafort’s lawyers are former federal prosecutors who are every bit as talented and experienced as the people on the other side of the courtroom.
One of their arguments is this: Paul Manafort was investigated by the federal government, by a team of federal prosecutors and FBI agents for all this stuff eight years ago, and they exonerated him.
And who was the young prosecutor that led that exoneration? Rod Rosenstein, who now runs the Justice Department.
And they have threatened to call Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein as their first witness and have him give to the jury all the reasons why he declined the prosecution of these charges eight years ago."
And now a subpoena has been issued for Rosenstine... The Mueller attorneys are scrambling now to stop him from testifying and have refused to conclude their case presentation on Friday.
The Manafort case is crumbling and they know it....
You’re whistling past the graveyard. Not to mention that the defence would be crazy to call Rosenstein.
This is a “paper case”. The evidence is in the documents and financial records of the accused. It’s about as air tight as you can get. Having Rod Rosenstein come to court and say that they tried to nail this guy 8 years ago but he hadn’t gone broke and started lying to banks on mortgage applications yet, isn’t going to help his defense.
Manafort is going to jail for the rest of his life, as well he should.
