Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein told graduating law students that they'll 'face pressure to compromise on things that matter most' in a commencement address that hinted at his rocky tenure at the Justice Department
Washington Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein told graduating law students on Monday that they'll"face pressure to compromise on things that matter most" in a commencement address that hinted at his rocky tenure at the Justice Department.
Rosenstein's address was peppered with quotes from famous philosophers and presidents, and even special counsel Robert Mueller, the former FBI director who led the Russia investigation. Rosenstein oversaw Mueller's work for almost his entire term as deputy attorney general. He spoke at the University of Baltimore Law School about the challenges facing young lawyers and reflected on his 29-year career of government service at the Justice Department.
• CNN found 77 instances of lies and false assertions in Mueller's report. Trump told the greatest number• What Trump associates told the public vs. what they told MuellerAs lawyers, the graduates should hold tightly to their core principles, Rosenstein said, even if that means it might become"painful and costly." That is why principles exist, he noted. Rosenstein didn't directly reference the Russia investigation or explain what he was alluding to regarding"compromises.
