Breaking: Rod Rosenstein Impeachment Plans Drawn Up
Posted on 7/14/18 at 5:41 pm
Posted on 7/14/18 at 5:41 pm
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.

frick that, they are openly daring republicans to grow a sack because they refuse to release documents to "OVERSITE" in congress. They don't have a fricking choice. They have the clearance to read everything.

The smart move would be to let them hang themselves with their own ropes

Oh I can hear the screams of obstruction already...
"We just started filing a bunch of indictments, we need to see if Trump talked to these Russian agents"...

When republicans are actively assisting in running interference for Trump you can see why that's not a good idea. If this was a democratic Congress doing this for a Democratic potus you guys would be calling for a revolution

I agree. As much as I want that clown gone, it's only going to hurt the R's. Things were going so well for them, so I guess this is where they start stepping on their dicks to swing some power back to the dems.

Running interference? Congress has oversight. RR is refusing to submit to that oversight. Why do Dems hate transparency?

Legal?
It seems you lack the knowledge on this but if paragraph one of the investigation did not have a legal basis for the investigation then the entire thing is a sham. The DOJ has refused to release anything related to the FISA documents and the paragraph one documents. The media has leaked some insite into them saying that a yahoo article referencing the dossier was used for the FISA filings and that paragraph one is likely using those same for the investigation. You can't just investigate someone without a valid reason. If the opening of Trumps investigation was based on a flimsy unverified dossier which has been leaked several times then when they do get the documents and the house will eventually get them....no only will the entire thing come crumbling down but people will go to prison and it's not the people your hoping go to prison....quite the contrary.

Disagree, if you are hiding things from oversite they have every right to demand action. These 3 letter agencies don't control congress nor does the DOJ.
