Rosenstein blasts GOP impeachment threat against him as extortion

NBC News ^ | 01-May-2018 | Pete Williams

He’s just accused Mueller and the Democratic party of extortion against the President.

Cornered rats.

If Rod Frankenstein’s BLATANT DEFIANCE of legal authority is not now met with greater Congressional force, this nation will never heal.

Same goes for Mueller & his gang, and Obama/Clinton/McCain and the entire cabal.

[Kalamata]

Joe DeGenova told Lou Dobbs tonite that just for making such an outrageous comment alone, he needs to be fired immediately.

See tagline : )

[a little elbow grease]

"End it? They are cheering it on! Trump is hosing up their cash flow. Neither side is going to stop Muller or Rosenstein. Personally, I would make a speech that there is either 1 set of laws we all follow, or their are 3; one for the peons, one for the politicians and one for the president....the kind they have in 3rd world shitholes where people and families suddenly vanish. There is no reason why only the President should follow a Constitution that no one else follows!"

"Breathtaking how arrogant these coup co-conspirators are...They know they have the backing of both parties, corrupt courts, the whole of the administrative state, the fakestream media and Jeff Sessions."

There you go again, FW. You speak of "breathtaking and arrogant".

You are also breathtaking and arrogant ..... and most likely wrong.

I'd bet that when you and everyone else finally find out what Jeff Sessions has been doing behind the scenes (in coordination with his boss), you will at that point "foolishly AND arrogantly" try to take credit for prodding him into action with your torrent off misguided vilification and protestation here on FR.

I guess we'll see.

But then again, you may be "hiding in the curtains" with Jimmy Comey by then.

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. (

Does Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein know what constitutes the basis for articles of impeachment?

Does he think that he is above the law in connection with compliance with information requests from Congress?

The best defense is an aggressive offense.

Time for a full FISA investigation.

Time for a full FISA investigation.

"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."

That sounds like a weak attempt at deflecting attention from Rosenstein's own culpability.

Bzzzzzt - wrong answer, Rod...

[tired&retired]

I do hope this mess can be resolved without violence. One way or another, the rule of law will be enforced.

Russia is using Sun Tsu’s divide your enemy within rule of war.

"internal Justice Department documents concerning some aspects of the Russian meddling investigation and the Hillary Clinton e-mail probe."

If he won't turn over the documents, it's time to impeach him.

[odawg]

“The deputy attorney general said the Justice Department properly resists turning over some documents to avoid allowing Congress to interfere in investigations...”

In other words, according to his understanding, the Secret Police is the agency that controls the government, and the fact that Congress could dissolve the DOJ, since Congress set it up, is an irrelevant fact, as is the Constitution.

I mean, for the little weasel to maintain that shows he thinks he is untouchable. And the way things are going, he must be. Is there any record of him disparaging talk about impeaching Trump, a calling it extortion?

Your unhealthy fixation with me is creepy. Are you really not mentally astute enough to figure out whose words you are quoting? I didn’t write ‘breathtaking how arrogant.’ Sad,
that your ability to follow a discussion is so feeble.

For all practical purposes, it’s AG Rosenstein. He has the job; all he lacks is the title:

‘My name is Rod Rosenstein. I like threatening Congressmen, accepting bribes, authorizing illegal searches and seizures, and plotting to overthrow a sitting president. My friends and I can break any laws that we want because I run the DoJ, and it’s not like I’m going to prosecute myself.’

And my wife helps Democrats like Clinton, Obama..... block FOI reqests for documents disclosing their illegal deeds.

[tired&retired]

Rosenstein, “My wife is my legal counsel advising me how to block Congress from getting DOJ documents.

[Fantasywriter]

Thanks—I’ll file that under, ‘Today I learned,’—though it doesn’t surprise me one iota. What a shameful, disgraceful thing Sessions did, when he turned the DOJ over to such a vile Trump-hater. I wish Jeff would just resign. Heaven knows Trump could use a strong, unrecused AG right now.
