It won’t be long until Rosenstein will start labeling House Intelligence Committee members antisemites instead of extortionists like he recently did a few weeks ago.

Rosenweasel starting to feel some real heat. Wonder if he’ll resign after the IG report is released?

And if he ignores or sends a partial reply to Grassley, then what? Congress needs to reclaim its authority and take Rosenstein and company down. If they don’t, they will have helped create a fourth branch of government that acts as if it is above all others.

Even Grassley knows who’s runs DOJ.
And it’s not Alfred E. Sessions.

Two things: 1) Start impeachment proceedings against both Sessions and Rosenstein and 2) cut the DOJ budget severely. Specifically the money used to run the Washington part of the agency. Ditto for the FBI. Since it’s a totally corrupt agency, it should be put out of business unless it complies with the Constitutional prerogatives of the Senate!

Apparently, the illegal spying never ended.

This John Huber parody account is ripping the Rats to shreds.

3. ... to appoint a special counsel. It requires (1) a criminal predicate, ...

b. What “criminal investigation of a person or matter” did you determine was warranted?

c. Why did your Appointment Order not identify specific crimes to be investigated?

Fatal flaw in the Mueller appointment (if we had the rule of law).

I agree.

It is that time if we are to save our country.

True but that’s where the buck stops. Impeach Sessions.

so when are they going to be prosecuted for defrauding the government-taking taxpayer money for unauthorized investigation?

".... May 17, 2017 Order appointing Mr. Mueller as Special Counsel,...."

Where in that charge did RosenWeasel allow Weasel Mueller to collude with Comey, act like a fascist PIG, and conduct Witch Hunts?

Judge Elliot has the scoping memo now. I wonder if the Judge has the gonads to throw out the Manafort indictments before him based on no predicate as required under the SC statute?

If he does, along with the apparent lack of predicate as sniffed out by Grassley, the calls for the SC investigation to end could grow into a chorus.

GRASSLEY: As Judge Ellis stated earlier, Americans do not support anyone in this country wielding unfettered power.5 That is doubly true when it is wielded in secret, beyond the purview of any oversight authority.

In the Clinton/Starr investigation, the scope and changes made were transparent.

In the Trump/Mueller case, the public, Congress, and the courts all thought the scope was one thing,
and have now been informed it is something else.For that reason and others, it is unclear precisely

<><> how or whether, the Department is following its own regulations,

<><>what the actual bounds of Mr. Mueller’s authority are, and,

<><> how those bounds have been established.

I wonder what type investigations are currently ongoing concerning Grassley and Nunes?

You bring up a good point.

Grassley knows Sessions is recused on Deep State matters because Sessions promised Grassley when he testified before Congress, under oath, that he would recuse himself.
