Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein refused to say on Wednesday whether the FBI paid for the infamous Trump dossier.
Rosenstein, who was grilled by the House Judiciary Committee, suggested that he knew the answer to the question, which was posed by Florida Rep. Ron DeSantis.
Did the FBI pay for the dossier? DeSantis asked.
Im not in a position to answer that question, Rosenstein responded.
Do you know the answer to the question? the Republican DeSantis followed up.
I believe I know the answer, but the Intelligence Committee is the appropriate committee Rosenstein began.
DeSantis interjected to assert that the Judiciary panel has every right to the information about payments for the dossier.

He would if they didn’t.
The answer is yes or he would have answered the question.
We want FACTS! Not a snow job!
If the answer was “no” then he would have no problem saying so.
I’m gonna beef up my retirement fund by selling them a dossier. I have to go think something up...
Not at all. He isn’t going to comment on that in open session and you know it.
The IG report is the biggie. Jan. 15 hopefully. They are all deferring to it.
He should be fired immediately.
This is not privileged information for only a few elite members of Congress to know. Every American has the right right to know immediately if any of our tax dollars were spent to fund dirty campaign tricks to influence a Presidential election.
The word should spread far and wide, if you pass Jeff Sessions on the street, Spit in his Face.
Patience please.
The assault will come at a time and place of DOJ choosing
I believe that's a requirement for his job.
Do us all a favor and think up something juicy for McConnell. Thanks.

I believe I know the answer, but the Intelligence Committee is the appropriate committee Rosenstein began.
Why does the witness get to decide the jurisdiction of the committee? Can every witness do that, or only special ones?
Rosenstein is stonewalling.
Rosenstein should have answered the question. The people of this country need to know.
The IG report is the biggie. Jan. 15 hopefully. They are all deferring to it.
IG Horowitz is an Obama appointee. He's the IG who whitewashed the Fast & Furious report.
Horowitz will give cover the higher-ups in the FBI, at the DOJ and above that. Rosenstein will do what Horowitz tells him. Sessions will do nothing.
Bring back waterboarding!
The IG’s report means “nothing”. Libs have ignored many IG’s in the past. They even refused to put an IG in some Departments. Why would an IG do anything. They know these are CRIMES. Why would we wait until 1-15-18/ Because the Media tells us to.Just giving 30 extra days for the Swamp to CYA.
Freaking worm, said how transparent they are because they told us that the guy was fired immediately by M but then they hid it for 5 plus months from Congress.
Freaking worms, ever last one of them.
Corrupt bastard.

This is what Sessions wrought its his dismal legacy. What a bitter, bitter disappointment he is.
His lack of an answer is the answer...................
