Deputy Attorney General might want to plug the leaks in his own office before he keeps trumpeting how he is reforming the corrupt FBI.
A high-ranking Justice Department official with a pristine record of divulging Intel gems now says Rosenstein privately fumes at the likes of Jim Jordan, Devin Nunes, Mark Meadows and other GOP Congressman who have been relentlessly pressuring Rosenstein to produce internal documents related to many facets of FBI corruption.
Rosenstein and his people have no respect for Congress, especially GOP, the Justice source confirmed. Most of the GOP go along quietly because they know Rosenstein will target them privately if they speak out against the DOJ or stay in his face about an issue.
Apparently common insider knowledge in The Swamp.
During a recent internal exchange, a perturbed Rosenstein aired his frustration with Jordan and Nunes in particular but collectively framed his disdain for all GOP House members who have made demands on Rosenstein to turn over troves of documents: Theyre pieces of shit, Rosenstein said, according to a well-placed DOJ official.
Subpoena the emails and texts of high-ranking DOJ officials, one source stressed to GOP Congress members. You would be floored.
That revelation is significant. The source said Rosensteins feelings are echoed throughout the Justice Department. But that attitude matched his tone and demanor on Thursday.
Rosenstein does not respond well to pressure, based on his behavior at Thursdays House Oversight showdown with Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray. CNBC reports:
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein Thursday rejected Republican Rep. Trey Gowdys call to abruptly end special counsel Robert Muellers probe of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Gowdy, who is chairman of the House Oversight Committee, made the remarks to Rosenstein during a hearing on the Justice Department inspector generals report into the federal probe of Hillary Clintons use of a private email server. The report found numerous examples of agent misconduct.
But Gowdy focused on the special counsel, which he said was being used by congressional Democrats as a fundraising tool. He admonished Rosenstein: Whatever you got, finish it the hell up, because this country is being torn apart.
Rosenstein tried to keep his cool as Jordan continuously interrupted his answers, prompting some Democrats in the room to call for Jordan to allow Rosenstein a chance to respond.
Sir, I certainly hope that your colleagues are not under that impression. It is not accurate sir, said Rosenstein before being interrupted by Jordan.
It is accurate, Jordan shot back. Weve caught you hiding information.
Rosenstein seemed to grow more frustrated by the minute with Jordans line of questioning, denouncing the congressmans accusations as personal attacks.
But your use of this to attack me personally is deeply wrong, he finally declared at one point in the exchange.
The fiery back-and-forth between the two men continued as Jordan argued that key information was redacted from Justice Department records, a fact he cited as evidence that Rosenstein was withholding information.
Where in the hell is Jeff Sessions?
this is long past ridiculous, its downright insane
It is WAY TOO EARLY to fire anybody.
The DNC propaganda arm (the presstitutes) are still calling this attempted coup a Republican conspiracy theory. When it gets obvious to even the morons who supported Hillary that the coup was organized and started from inside Hussein's office, then it will be time to "round them up."
It was just a few weeks ago we found out about the FBI spies planted in Trump's campaign. What other surprises are coming?
When the arrests start, the whole conspiracy led by Hussein has to have been exposed.
Small steps eventually lead to huge gains. The goal here is to tie Hussein as "the one."
We need to find out who recommended him to President Trump
It looks to me like Rosenstein got to where he is by showing a willingness to disregard the law and procedure at his superior’s request and by kissing massive amounts of democrat ass. Do these traits require a level discipline that I am not aware of?
I believe Sessions recommended Rosenweasel.
Just impeach the guy so Trump can fire him.
Hindsight is easy. Neither the President nor anyone on his team thought so last year. Rosenstein is almost a shadow of Sessions in that regard.
Heads up, because Christopher Wray is cut from the same cloth. That shoe will eventually audibly drop.
Hey GOP....they DESPISE YOU...BOTH of them DESPISE YOU!! NAIL THEIR ASSES!
because it would be instant impeachment. Every single dem, close to half of repubs and all of msm would love nothing more than the near future to be Trump free.
I don’t trust True Pundit. Never seen any evidence he is legit.
Thanks, Newbie!
UGH, we got big problems with these swamp monsters. We need to clean house.
How many damn times do we need to hear more stories of scandals, corruption, obstruction, stonewalling, cover ups, lying, political subversion, and the undermining our democracy? These are federal agencies and government employees working within the executive branch who are violating the trust of the American people and using taxpayer resources and the full powers of their agencies to conduct highly partisan activities. Abuse of power doesn’t even begin to describe it. Where is the accountability?
Maybe that’s all OK with you. But why allow this corrosive corruption to continue? Please enlighten me.
Who recommended him to Sessions?
I dont like his attitude. He is smirking all the time, acts like the hearing is a social affair. You saw a glimpse of the evil when Jim Jordan was questioning him.
I think a lot of surprising stuff is going to come out. Im just praying it exposes the bad guys before the election.
The guy is an evil, lying, POS that needs to be thrown out............
Oh Rosie . . . the feeling is moochual!!!!
I’m gonna have to call blog pimp bs. Like anyone in the DOJ is going to talk exclusively to truepundit.( no link to a source) They’ve been around for what, a couple of years? The name just plays off of gatewaypundit. They have no about page. This article is by “Investigative Team”? Yeah, who’s that?
They have one link in the article that goes to cnbc but that article says nothing about RR’s temper.
(I know, you’re just the messenger)
Agree. Mostly clickbait to get ad revenue.
They are obviously covering MANY crimes committed during the Obama years. Nasty, scary people. They are complicit. If some would start going to jail, then maybe they would quit committing crimes.
imho, he should be impeached for malfeasance in office... in NOT firing these obvious turkeys
(and I bet most of those that are threatening to vote to impeach him.. won’t dare)
any move by President Tough Guy to interfere with LE’s investigation will be blasted on every news station
****************
LE’s investigations? You mean like the Horowitz whitewash? Are you kidding me? These are not real “investigations”; they are cover ups. Not one of them will result in any serious charges. Mistakes were made...bad judgement...insubordination...no bias found....etc.
The bureaucrats protect the bureaucrats.
