ROSENSTEIN ADMITS: MUELLER HAD NO EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION EARLY IN PROBE

Democrats complained Wednesday that the Senate Judiciary Committee's hearing featuring former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein was a distraction from the dual crises confronting the nation.

But Republican senators, while noting they can walk and chew gum at the same time, pointed out there was no bigger "distraction" from the business of government in the first three years of the Trump adminstration than the investigations of alleged Trump campaign collusion with Russia.

And Rosenstein's stark admission Wednesday should have been enough to make even the most baldly partisan Democrat sit up and take notice.

The former deputy AG admitted that by August 2017 -- within three months of his appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel -- there was no evidence of Trump campaign collusion with Russia. Yet the probe went on for another year and a half.
