[NYP] Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein asked federal prosecutors across the country to assist in reviewing documents of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s nominee for Supreme Court, a process that could delay his Senate confirmation, according to a report on Wednesday.
| How does this compare to the vetting process of the last several Supreme Court nominees, and is it the deputy attorney general’s responsibility to initiate managing the process? | Rosenstein sent an email this week to the nation’s 93 US attorneys requesting each one to provide up to three prosecutors "who can make this important project a priority for the next several weeks," the New York Times reported.
​The subject line of Rosenstein’s email read, "Personal Message to U.S. Attorneys from the Deputy AG."
Trump announced his selection of Kavanaugh in a prime-time television event on Monday night to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy.
Will Mueller be brought in next? Where is the Attorney General? This vindictive fellow should have been fired a long time ago. |
