Conservative House lawmakers draft articles of impeachment against Rosenstein
2018-05-01
[The Hill] A group of conservative House lawmakers have begun drafting a resolution that calls for the impeachment of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, the top Department of Justice (DOJ) official overseeing special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

The impeachment document makes a series of charges against Rosenstein, the latest sign of escalating efforts among conservatives to oust the DOJ’s No. 2 official, according to a copy of the draft obtained by The Hill.

There has been no indication, however, that Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and other House GOP leaders will act on the measure, having largely remained silent amid calls for his removal by hard-line conservatives.

Conservative members led by Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), chairman of the House Freedom Caucus and close ally of President Trump, drafted the eight articles of impeachment against Rosenstein.

The articles include allegations that Rosenstein violated federal law by refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena over Congress’s efforts to obtain documents about FBI surveillance during the election, intentionally stalling document production for congressional investigations into possible government misconduct, and failing to enforce key laws and protocols.

#6  ....if Russian interference was actually suspected by the Dims, they would be demanding reports ASAP to prevent it from happening again during the critical mid-terms that are omly a few months away.

Yes, a convenient cover for action, or cover story. Unfortunately those terms have a....not so subtle, intelligence community origin. Shall we simply use the term....'insurance policy.' Everyone understands insurance.

#4  Axing the top 3 layers of the FBI, DOJ and CIA would be a good first step to restoring our democracy.
But they are our Praetorian Guard, our protectors. They would never betray us.

#2  I suppose he could go on "investigating" for the next ten years. Are there no progress reports or updates to the DOJ or congress on his work ?
