"Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s memo authorizing Robert Mueller’s anti-Trump investigation was riddled with conspiracy theories lifted straight from the bogus dossier of Christopher Steele, a newly released, less redacted version of the memo shows. The memo, portions of which were declassified on April 30, 2020, specifically targeted former Trump campaign affiliates Carter Page, Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, George Papadopoulos, and one individual whose identity is redacted.
The FBI and DOJ were well aware, prior to the Mueller investigation, that the Steele dossier was nonsense. They had even been informed that its chief source was a liar. No one at the FBI and DOJ had any actual evidence that Donald Trump really had hookers pee on his bed or that Carter Page was a Russian agent. In fact, they had ample evidence all of those claims were false and that the entire Steele dossier was Russian disinformation.
Rosenstein ordered Mueller to investigate allegations that Page “committed a crime or crimes by colluding with Russian government officials with respect to the Russian government’s efforts to interfere with the 2016 election[.]” The same language was used to justify the targeting of Manafort.
Rosenstein’s memo also peddled discredited legal theories about the Logan Act, a 1799 law criminalizing political speech by American citizens that has never been successfully prosecuted, to justify investigations of former White House National Security Adviser (NSA) Michael Flynn. The scope memo directed Mueller to investigate allegations that Flynn “committed a crime or crimes by engaging in conversations with Russian officials during the period of the Trump transition.
Rosenstein was directly in the middle of all the corruption surrounding the Russia and Mueller investigations. Instead of stopping Mueller from prosecuting Flynn, knowing he had been set up, he let it happen and then defended it to Congress. Instead of telling Mueller he couldn’t use the bogus Steele dossier, he used it as a basis for Mueller’s scope. The entire time that Rosenstein has been smiling at Republicans and pretending he wasn’t part of Comey’s cabal, he absolutely was.”
The released memo proves beyond a doubt Rosenstein committed FISA Court abuses by signing the FISA Court warrant application he KNEW to be false.
