GOPers introduce articles of IMPEACHMENT against ROSENSTEIN!

Republicans have taken another active step towards impeaching Rod Rosenstein for defying the good and righteous will of President Trump!!

From the Hill:

A group of conservative House lawmakers on Wednesday introduced articles of impeachment against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, the top Department of Justice (DOJ) official overseeing special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

The introduction of the resolution is the latest sign of escalating efforts among conservatives to oust the DOJ’s No. 2 official.

Conservative members led by Reps. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), along with nine co-sponsors, introduced the articles shortly after a meeting with DOJ officials concerning document production.

This is ironic because Trey Gowdy said it wasn’t going to happen. On the other hand, just because you introduce a bill doesn’t mean you can pass it.

“For 9 months we’ve warned them consequences were coming, and for 9 months we’ve heard the same excuses backed up by the same unacceptable conduct. Time is up and the consequences are here. It’s time to find a new Deputy Attorney General who is serious about accountability and transparency,” Meadows said in a statement.

“Multiple times we’ve caught DOJ officials hiding information from Congress, withholding relevant documents, or even outright ignoring Congressional subpoenas—and now we have evidence that Mr. Rosenstein signed off on a document using unverified political opposition research as a cornerstone of a FISA application to spy on an American citizen working for the Trump campaign,” Meadows continued.

The articles include a series of allegations against Rosenstein.

They charge that Rosenstein has a conflict of interest in Mueller’s probe, stating that he is a “witness” to the ongoing investigation into potential abuse since he signed off on an FBI surveillance renewal application to wiretap Carter Page.

Rosenstein has been pretty defiant about this – at one point he mocked those who said they had a draft resolution to impeach him. But Republicans have a long history of having a loud bark and a tiny bite…
