He’s thinking what will his nurse bring for snacks tomorrow. Pudding or apple sauce! Guy sounds like he might croak at any moment.
Re: i wonder what Robert Mueller is thinking
I had not noticed until this morning (when TPM Reader TM flagged it to my attention) that Rod Rosenstein responded (not terribly positively) to my post on the Comey Memos IG report (“Of Course Comey Was Right to Share the Memos”).
A Response to Rod Rosenstein
Allow me to respond.
First, I preface all this by reaffirming that despite all my criticisms of Rod Rosenstein, sometimes verging into mockery, in the final analysis he appointed the special counsel and, as far as we know, preserved its independence from a lawless President for almost two years. That is Rosenstein’s most important legacy through this whole saga.
Second, I’m not sure what the problem is with “double-negative logic.” The argument makes perfect sense both grammatically and logically, whether or not you agree with the claim. In my Friday post I argued that Comey’s violation of Bureau guidelines were clearly justified by the unique moment of national crisis in which he took his actions. Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s Trump-coddling lambasting of Comey only makes any sense if you studiously, indeed militantly ignore this context. The same applies to Rosenstein even though he clearly knows the context as well or really more intimately than any of us.
I argued two points. First, the public needed to know then what the President had done, why he had fired Comey and how this fit into the larger coverup. More specifically, it made no sense for Comey to hand his memos over to his successors at the FBI or top appointees at the DOJ since he had good reason to think they themselves were or would be compromised by Trump’s corruption and on-going coverup. To this Rosenstein says that in fact “EVERY agent and prosecutor was still working on it.”
Let’s take this piece by piece.

Whoa, subpoenaed his wingman?
well that’s one way to get testimony that would otherwise be out of his league.

Given recent events it certainly seems that Flynn gambled and lost on delaying his sentencing.

302? To me that means redirect...
Re: i wonder what Robert Mueller is thinking
A FD-302 form is used by FBI agents to "report or summarize the interviews that they conduct"[3][4] and contains information from the notes taken during the interview by the non-primary[further explanation needed] agent.
It consists of information taken from the subject, rather than details about the subject themselves.
A forms list from an internal FBI Website lists the FD-302 as Form for Reporting Information That May Become Testimony.

Not sarcastic. I really appreciate it. I know how to use the Google really well for my job - not so much outside of that tho.
