House Republicans introduce articles of impeachment against Rosenstein A group of 11 House Republicans introduced five articles of impeachment against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein Wednesday evening. The impeachment articles accuse Rosenstein of intentionally withholding documents and information from Congress, failure to comply with congressional subpoenas and abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). The application heavily relied on the infamous Steele Dossier, which was funded by the Clinton campaign and the DNC and contained unverified, salacious allegations against President Trump. "Under Mr. Rosenstein’s supervision, the Department of Justice and FBI intentionally obfuscated the fact the dossier was originally a political opposition research document before the FISC [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court]," the articles of impeachment state. They continue: "As Deputy Attorney General, Mr. Rosenstein has failed in his responsibility for the proper authorization of searches under FISA, and his conduct related to the surveillance of American citizens working on the Trump campaign has permanently undermined both public and congressional confidence in significant counterintelligence program processes." http://www.foxnews.com/politic...inst-rosenstein.html NRA Life Member - "Fear God and Dreadnaught" | ||

Wouldn't it be easier for Trump to just fire him? ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ IMHO, nah. Let Congress work the system. If Trump were to fire him outright, I can't even imagine the bloviating that would spew forth from the Left-tards. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

I'd be very happy about this if I thought that the House would follow through and impeach this SOB. But with Ryan as Speaker, I dont think a damn thing will come of this. Other than pissing off the little thin skinned pissant. Which, in and of it self is a good thing. I hope we keep the house and senate in the mid-terms. Because if we do, I think Uncle Trump will fire Rosenstein AND MUELLER - and hopefuly Mr. MAGOO too! Regards 18DAI 7+1 Rounds of hope and change | |||

Really the best thing for everyone is for Rosenstein to just resign. I just don’t think that little weasel will do the right thing though. | |||

Glorious SPAM! |
Finally congress does something about the corruption. I don’t think they will vote to impeach but that’s ok. As long as we keep the senate Trump can just fire him in November. | |||

I'd prefer to see the FISA court judge toss his ass in jail on contempt charges. That should have happened months ago and can happen tomorrow. Who's running this thing? | |||

Posturing. That's all that it is. They get to run home during the August recess and pound their chest about how tough they are. At the end of the day, they are the swamp, and the first rule of the swamp is to preserve their own power and position above all else. | |||

Oh the eleven of them are serious about this. It's the other 424 who are the problem. But at least a few are trying. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

I heard Rosenstein’s wife was good at opposing FOIA requests. Google popped up the following up. Link Enter Lisa Barsoomian, wife of Rod Rosenstein. Lisa is a high-powered attorney in Washington, DC, who specializes in opposing Freedom of Information Act requests on behalf of the Deep State, err, I mean, the Intelligence Communities. Lisa Barsoomian works for R. Craig Lawrence, an attorney who has represented Robert Mueller three times, James Comey five times, Barack Obama forty-five times, Kathleen Sebellius fifty-six times, Bill Clinton forty times, and Hillary Clinton seventeen times between 1991 and 2017. Barsoomian participated in some of this work personally and has herself represented the FBI at least five separate times. It would be great to research the specifics of the cases she worked in, many of the documents from the Court Docket relating to these cases have been removed from the D.C. District and Appeals Court, including her representation for Clinton in 1998’s case Hamburg. V. Clinton. | |||

Silly waste of time. Even if Paul Ryan ever brought it to a vote (which he won't), it wouldn't pass in the House and it wouldn't get 10 votes in the Senate, let alone the 66 required to convict. Rosenstein could be on video robbing a bank and the dems in the Senate wouldn't vote to remove him from office. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

Frustrating, isn't it? There are a handful of patriots in the House, actually attempting oversight... and they are thwarted by the deep state at every turn. Rosenstein should have been fired on Day 1, along with Comey. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit.

Frustrating and sad. It never should have gotten to this point - Trump is right: If Sessions was going to recuse himself he should have told Trump up front BEFORE he accepted the position. There never should have been a recusal and never should have been a special prosecutor. This whole farce should have been headed off up front. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||
