Congressional officials say Rosenstein's DOJ withheld and concealed documents and information

Lawmakers went ahead with Rosenstein's articles of impeachment despite Speaker Ryan's disapproval

Congressmen say they have been "stonewalled" repeatedly by DOJ

For more than nine months, House Republicans have been battling the Department of Justice and FBI for a cache of documents they say are necessary to conduct oversight investigations into the FBI’s handling of alleged collusion between Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and Russia. The backroom battles between lawmakers and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein culminated in impeachment articles filed Wednesday against the deputy attorney general.

It takes a simple majority in the House to pass articles of impeachment...then it goes to the Senate. There it takes 2/3 majority to remove Rosenstein from office.
