House Republicans CAVE on Rosenstein impeachment – will seek CONTEMPT instead…

Well that de-escalated quickly. Republicans already caved and gave up on impeaching Rod Rosenstein less than one day after calling for it.

From the Hill:

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) says he is tabling his efforts to impeach Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein after having several meetings with Republican leadership, stating that he would instead pursue contempt if the Justice Department (DOJ) does not turn over documents Congress is seeking.

While the impeachment option remains on the table, Meadows told reporters Thursday he now hopes it will be a contempt process rather than impeachment.

When asked what will happen if he does not receive the documents two House committees are seeking by the time the House returns from August recess, Meadows said, “I think the very first order of business would be moving the House to a contempt vote.”

“I think it is our desire to have more of a contempt process, which obviously has to have a partner with the Speaker, and I think hopefully they will at least acknowledge we’ve made some reasonable concessions to give DOJ and FBI,” Meadows told a scrum of reporters.

Wow, they caved much quicker than usual. Which kinda proves what many were saying about this just being a publicity stunt. I, for one, can’t wait for their next outrageous publicity stunt! #MAGA!!!
