Analysis: Rod Rosenstein officially bows out — and bows to Trump
Outgoing Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein By Aaron Blake Aaron Blake Senior political reporter, writing for The Fix Email Bio Follow April 29 at 7:39 PM President Trump suggested Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein participated in the planning of “a very illegal act” against him. He suggested Rosenstein was a “totally conflicted” overseer of the Russia investigation. He flirted with firing him, saying he had the right to do so “absolutely.
In his resignation letter announcing his May 11 exit, Rosenstein praised Trump’s inaugural message two years ago and said he was grateful “for the courtesy and humor you often display in our personal conversations.” He even signed off by borrowing Trump’s political slogan, saying, “We keep the faith, we follow the rules, and we always put America first.”
Rosenstein’s letter is not a paean to his onetime antagonist, Trump. But it is a notable document against the backdrop of their personal relationship. Other Trump appointees have exited office with not terribly subtle slights against a president they perceived as overstepping professional lines — even those involving a man who gave them their jobs. Rosenstein’s letter is nothing of the sort.
“Facing ‘corrosive skepticism and cynicism concerning the administration of justice’ in 1975, Edward Levi urged us to ‘make clear by word and deed that our law is not an instrument of partisan purpose, and it is not … to be used in ways which are careless of the higher values … within us all,'" Rosenstein writes.
