Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said Tuesday that the Justice Department "is not going to be extorted" as some House Republicans raise the prospect of seeking his impeachment.

Some Democrats have charged that the escalating document demands are an attempt to back Rosenstein into a corner and compromise his supervision of Robert Mueller and the rest of the special counsel team.
"They can't resist even leaking their own drafts," Rosenstein said of the Republican lawmakers' impeachment articles, which were first obtained by the Washington Post. "I just don't have anything to say about documents like that that nobody has the courage to put their name on and they leak in that way."
Nah, you and Comey are going to jail anyway...
"There are people who have been making threats, privately and publicly, against me for quite some time," he said. "And I think they should understand by now, the Department of Justice is not going to be extorted."
Mark Levin has really been blasting him tonight.
Turn over the documents idiot
Congress has subpoenaed documents from you for MONTHS which you have IGNORED. That ALONE is grounds for not only your IMPEACHMENT, but your ARREST as well.
Last I checked, Congress has OVERSIGHT over the DOJ, not the other way around. Someone please tell ROSENRAT!
I don’t think it is extortion to go after someone for clear sedition. Fry him, he deserves it.
I don’t want it extorted, I want it liquidated.
LoL “And that they leak in that way”? Keep talking Rosenstein. You may get bounced out of your job sooner than later.
....says the actual Attorney General.
Why are so many weasels in this whole story so ugly?
Mueller, Comey,, Rosenstsein, Clapper....I’ll stop so I won’t use up bandwidth for FR.
So Rod, what is the proper way to leak?
It’s not extortion but bringing an evil ttaitorous SOB to justice.
LOL, I heard him last week, he was referring to him “IS IT ROSENSTEEN OR ROSENSTINE like FRANKENSTEIN?
For some reason, the way he said it hit my funny bone...
Rosenstein & Mueller can extort, threaten, bully, raid, subpoena, try to CREATE CRIMES and, all the while, demand that THEY THEMSELVES SHOULD BE ABOVE ALL LAW AND OVERSIGHT AND ACCOUNTABILITY. They CLEARLY consider themselves an American STASI.
An the coward Sessions sits back and negligently allows their EXTRA-CONSTITUTIONAL behavior.
Isn’t that about right. To a liberal like Rosenstein (and that is the nicest word I can use to describe him) people demanding that he do his job and let them do theirs is extortion. Guy needs to be fired and in a jail cell.
Rosenstein and Mueller appear overly desperate to be fired. The dam is probably going to burst sooner rather than later and it’s the swamp (represented by the Justice Department) fighting back against POTUS.... My guess is that Trump will win in the Supreme Court.
Trump should address the nation and fire the lot of them during the address, then challenge them to take on the Presidency. Trump needs to take control of this Democrat corrupted cesspool formerly known as the Justice Department, the FBI and the maybe even the CIA.
Rod does it sitting down.
What about the democrat hue and cry about impeaching Trump?
Is that extortion, you little worm?
And the only worm lower than Rosenstein is Sessions.
