Yo, all you people screaming to me about Rosenstein:
how is it MY fault you don't know what an 'affiant' is?
Here, learn something:

Here, learn something:
Here's the video of Matt Gaetz completely missing what Rosenstein is trying to tell him.
Which isn't unusual about EVERYBODY at the time missed what Rosenstein was saying.

Rosenstein didn't get there until April 25, 2017 when he was sworn in as Deputy AG.
He signed off on that last FISA warrant renewal based on what he was TOLD at a briefing with DOJ/FBI lawyers.

HE isn't the person swearing under penalty of perjury the facts in that warrant are all true.
The person swearing under penalty of perjury that all the facts in the warrant being presented to the superior official are true is known as the affiant.

Rosenstein sits right there and tells Gaetz "I'm not the affiant" and it goes right over Gaetz's head.
I explained this about 25 times in my Twitter feed in the last year and then I gave up.
It doesn't matter. It'll all come out anyway.

So I get people still tweeting at me every day who think they know how this went down "Nah bro, Rosenstein is a dirty snake - he signed off on that last FISA warrant!"
I literally gave up trying to explain it. It's a narrative that will never die.
