DOJ Docs Show Rosenstein Advising Mueller 'the Boss' Doesn't Know About Their Communications

 Rosenstein docs also show 'off the record' leaks to 60 Minutes, The New York Times and The Washington Post around and on the date of Mueller's appointment.

Judicial Watch released 145 pages of Rod Rosenstein's communications that include a one-line email from Rod Rosenstein to Robert Mueller stating, "The boss and his staff do not know about our discussions" and "Off the record" emails with major media outlets around the date of Mueller's appointment.

Just three days later, on May 12, Rosenstein sent an email assuring Robert Mueller that "The boss and his staff do not know about our discussions."

On May 17 Rosenstein appointed former FBI Director Robert Mueller to investigate Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

"These astonishing emails further confirm the corruption behind Rosenstein's appointment of Robert Mueller," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

On September 11, Judicial Watch released 14 pages of records from the Department of Justice showing officials' efforts in responding to media inquiries about DOJ/FBI talks allegedly invoking the 25th Amendment to "Remove" President Donald Trump from office and former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein offering to wear a "Wire" to record his conversations with the president.

On September 23, Judicial Watch released a two-page memo, dated May 16, 2017, by then-Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe detailing how then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein proposed wearing a wire into the Oval Office "To collect additional evidence on the president's true intentions." McCabe writes that Rosenstein said he thought it was possible because "He was not searched when he entered the White House."
