Rosenstein's Nightmare Just Came TRUE!
GOP Confirms His Days are NUMBERED
The end is looming near for Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
Fed up House conservatives have begun taking steps to impeach the Deep State opertive,
according to a new report.
From Breitbart
House conservatives have begun planning the impeachment of Deputy Attorney General Rod
Rosenstein, according to reports.
Leading Freedom Caucus members Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) are laying
the groundwork to bring articles of impeachment against Rosenstein, as House investigators
accuse the Justice Department of stonewalling their requests for documents related to the
agency's surveillance of Donald Trump's presidential campaign.
Politico writes:
House conservatives are preparing a new push to oust Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein,
according to three conservative Capitol Hill sources — putting the finishing touches
on an impeachment filing even as Rosenstein announced the indictment of 12 Russian intelligence
officers for interfering in the 2016 election.
House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows, in fact, had the impeachment document on the
floor of the House at the very moment that Rosenstein spoke to reporters and TV cameras
Friday.
Reports of the plan come after Rosenstein announced charges Friday against 12 Russian
intelligence officers for hacking offenses during the 2016 election and pushed back on
allegations that FBI agents are leaking details of the probe to reporters.
The Russians are accused of hacking into the computer networks of the Democratic National
Committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and the presidential campaign of
Hillary Clinton – then releasing stolen emails on the Internet in the months before
the election.
The indictment represents special counsel Robert Mueller's first charges against Russian
government officials for interfering in American politics, an effort U.S. intelligence agencies
claim was aimed at helping the Trump campaign and harming his Democratic opponent, Hillary
Clinton.
The case follows a separate indictment that accused Russians of using social media to
sow discord among American voters.
The 29-page indictment purports how, months before Americans went to the polls, Russians
schemed to break into key Democratic email accounts, including those belonging to Clinton
campaign chairman John Podesta, the Democratic National Committee, and the Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee.
Stolen emails, many politically damaging for Clinton, appeared on WikiLeaks in the campaign's
final stretch.
Rosenstein recently testified before House lawmakers on the details about the Justice
Department's surveillance tactics during the Russia investigation.
The House Judiciary Committee hearing marked Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's
first appearance before Congress since an internal DOJ report criticizing the FBI's
handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation revealed new disparaging text messages among
FBI officials about Donald Trump during the 2016 election.
FBI Director Christopher Wray also appeared at the hearing.
Republicans on the panel grilled the deep state officials on the watchdog report to
highlighting bias by the FBI.
"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."
Rosenstein, who lost his cool at times, raised his voice and wagged his finger while defending
himself and the department against allegations of stonewalling.
The Justice Department officials claimed despite Republican allegations, he was "not trying
to hide anything."
"We are not in contempt of this Congress, and we are not going to be in contempt of
this Congress," Rosenstein told lawmakers.
Underscoring their merited frustration, Republicans briefly put the hearing on hold so they could
approve a resolution on the House floor demanding that the Justice Department turn over thousands
of documents within a seven day period.
The resolution that passed along party lines Thursday demanded that the department turn
over by July 6 documents on FBI investigations into Clinton's private email use and Trump
campaign ties to Russia.
Both investigations unfolded during the presidential election, causing the FBI — which prides
itself on independence — to become entangled in presidential politics in ways that are
continuing to shake out.
Meadows, one of the resolution's sponsors, did not deny Democratic assertions that the
document requests were related to efforts to undercut Mueller's probe.
"Yes, when we get these documents, we believe that it will do away with this whole fiasco
of what they call the Russian Trump collusion because there wasn't any," he said on
the House floor.
The House judiciary and intelligence panels, which have subpoenaed the documents, want
to use the records for congressional investigations into the FBI's decision to clear Clinton
in the email probe and its opening of an investigation into potential coordination between the Trump
campaign and Russia.
The Justice Department has already turned over more than 800,000 documents to congressional
committees, yet the subpoenas seek additional materials, including records about any surveillance
of Trump campaign associates.
