Breaking: Rod Rosenstein Impeachment Plans Drawn Up

Now we know why fake news Jim Jordan story came out. It's literally time to start executing these swamp rats.
"House GOP members led by Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (NC) have drawn up articles of impeachment against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, according to Politico."
Conservative sources say they could file the impeachment document as soon as Monday, as Meadows and Freedom Caucus founder Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) look to build Republican support in the House. One source cautioned, however, that the timing was still fluid. -Politico
GOP legislators could also try to hold Rosenstein in contempt of Congress prior to actual impeachment.
The knives have been out for Rosenstein for weeks, as Congressional investigators have repeatedly accused the DOJ of "slow walking" documents related to their investigations. Frustrated lawmakers have been given the runaround - while Rosenstein and the rest of the DOJ are hiding behind the argument that the materials requested by various Congressional oversight committees would potentially compromise ongoing investigations.
In late June, Rosenstein along with FBI Director Christopher Wray clashed with House Republicans during a fiery hearing over an internal DOJ report criticizing the FBI's handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation by special agents who harbored extreme animus towards Donald Trump while expressing support for Clinton. Republicans on the panel grilled a defiant Rosenstein on the Trump-Russia investigation which has yet to prove any collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.
“This country is being hurt by it. We are being divided,” Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) said of Mueller’s investigation. “Whatever you got,” Gowdy added, “Finish it the hell up because this country is being torn apart.”

This may not be a very smart political move for repubs

Would this be coming about because of information gathered from the Lisa Page testimony?

So you're calling for the execution of members of Congress?
Wow

Didn't Nunes draw up articles of impeachment a month ago or was that just another idle threat like this one?

The country is not being torn apart trey. Republicans are trying to thwart a legal government investigation. They all should be brought up on charges.

Git 'em. Some hope anyhow. Never lose hope. A g!immer of light in the darkness

Pointless. Senate won't do anything.

Pure grandstanding and nothing but a ploy to raise money for the Republican Party, and I've never voted for a Democrat in my life.

Impeachment is warranted but it doesn't help politically. Getting all the documents released, unredacted, is what will help politically - it's also a clear oversight issue. That's why I'm pissed off at Trump for not having the docs released.
We shouldn't tolerate a lack of transparency and evasion of oversight at all, not for a minute, regardless of the party in power.

Why in Hell would they do that?
There is no chance whatsoever of the Senate removing him.
Perhaps the hope is impeachment might give Trump cover to fire the SOB. Trump won't do that though. There is greater likelihood of him pardoning Cohen, Manifort, and Flynn at once. Rosenstein would be left in a stronger position than he is now.
In reality, Trump needs to fire Sessions, not Rosenstein. The incoming AG would takeover responsibiliy for the DOJ. Rosenstein would slip back to obscurity.

Trump and Keebler can’t do it.
It’s high time that Congress grew a pair and did their freaking job.

He's corrupt, he HAS to go.

I bet Rowdy Rod Rosensteensteinstene receives more than 58 votes in favor of his impeachment, putting him closer to actual removal than POTUS!

Well done!
