Wonder what Baker said this time…
Meadows calls on Rosenstein to step down from DOJ amid questions over ‘wire’ comments
The chairman of the House Freedom Caucus is calling on Rod Rosenstein to step down as deputy attorney general, as lawmakers probe reports the Justice Department official once suggested wearing a "wire" to record President Trump.
Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., made the comments as James A. Baker, the FBI’s former top lawyer, was questioned behind closed doors on Capitol Hill on Thursday about Rosenstein’s reported comments, as well as other decisions made by the bureau. Meadows criticized Rosenstein for not accepting a recent invitation to testify before the House Judiciary Committee about the reported comments.
"I think it's time that Rod Rosenstein steps down," Meadows told reporters. "He should do so immediately. And in doing that, I think it would serve the country well."
It worked, I see a few post before mine, mine then yours # 5 it is...
But is Baker setting up RR? A good investigator has to consider such.
One real problem is that the Congress has no power to force testimony... no grand jury, no prosecutorial threat, no perjury traps. What power the Congress has in this regard is to send criminal referrals to DoJ; BUT, it is the DoJ that they are investigating. They might just as well subpoena the pigeons for crapping on the Lincoln Memorial.
NOW, they do have the power to defund DoJ, to slice it up, cut it to size. Don't hold your breath.
