Rosenstein approved surveillance extension of former Trump adviser

2018-01-29

(Reuters) - U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein approved to extend surveillance of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page shortly after assuming office last spring, the New York Times reported, citing people familiar with a secret Republican memo.

The extension shows the Department of Justice, under President Donald Trump, saw reason to believe that Page was acting as a Russian agent, the paper reported on Sunday.

The memo paints the investigation into Russia’s alleged meddling in the U.S. presidential election as tainted from the start, the paper said.

The Times report did not reveal the evidence Rosenstein relied on to authorize extension of the surveillance.

Rosenstein, also a Republican, took office in April after being nominated by Trump.

The Republican Party and the Democratic Party were not immediately available to comment late on Sunday. Reuters could not contact Carter Page for comment.

#3 I knew you were dirty
Bitch.
When you set no parameter on your master subversive Mueller.
Da Skullz.

We have you on multiple articles including letting this pointless investigation continue since May last year.

It is now past Christmas and he is still looking for a crime that was set up and illegally spyed on.
The fruit of the poisonous tree that started under the Obama administration ET AL. On private citizens for a phony CI request magically into a criminal investigation.
The stazicrat party has outdone themselves this time.

Unlike the last idiot you installed, I like this President and will protect him. And the harder you test me, the more of you are going to go to jail.

And you MR DAG, you are fucked up like a football bat and need to find a way out of your cul de sac.

#2 At the time of Rosenstein's appointment in April of 2017, the Democrats in the senate had already begun their anti-Trump resistance, which involved blocking or attempting to block everything Trump wanted to do.
Yet they approved Rosenstein's appointment with very few dissensions
Why did they do that? What did they know that caused them to make an exception to their policy in his case?
Does anyone know the answer?

#1 The Times report did not reveal the evidence Rosenstein relied on to authorize extension of the surveillance.

No doubt the same "evidence" used to initiate the surveillance.
