Justice Department official overseeing Mueller and Russia probe under increasing pressure

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Now we know why Rosenstein was begging Paul Ryan not to release the memo.

Rod belongs in Leavenworth.

“You figure that one out,”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We know.

Rosenstein is just as dirty as Comey and Mueller.

[cyclotic]

The simple fact that he’s from Maryland made him suspicious in my book. And I live in Maryland.

Most anyone who’s risen through the ranks in government from Maryland seems to be easily corrupted.

[Gene Eric]

Ryan, Sessions, and Gowdy seem indifferent to this flagrant abuse of power.

[Bonemaker]

“Rosenstein is just as dirty as Comey and Mueller.”

Rosenfeinstein.

[Col Frank Slade]

WAPO Rosenstein a victim.

Throw a stick.. Whatever yelps is a struck dog

[Cheerio]

Rod J. Rosenstein has got to go. If he doesn’t then Session has got to go after he is awoken.

Greg Jarrett just said ole Rod Rosenstein threatened members of the intel committee that he would spy on their cell phones and emails because he was tired of dealing with them.

He and Sessions need to hit the road and don’t come back.

And Ron Desantis said today Rosenstein needs to answer more
questions from the committee.

Hey Ron. How about calling for a Special Council and let them
ask the questions?

[McGavin999]

Just heard on Hannity that Rosenstein threatened to subpoena the texts of the intel committee because he was tired of dealing with them.

Sounds like he is on the edge of panic.

[DOC44]

Everytime I see Roseyshit he reminds me of a Nazi gestapo officer depicted in movies and old WWII actual pictures.

[eartick]

why aren't all of these named in memo in irons?

where is complicit sleepy sessions?

go figure that out

sorry for no caps. shoulder surgery

[dontreadthis]

I was unaware of the following timing I think was stated by Gorka on Hannity:
Rosenstein accompanied Mueller to his job interview with Trump for FBI head; Trump did not hire him.
The very next day, Rosenstein appoints Mueller as special counsel.
Do I have this right?

[Golden Eagle]

Gregg Jarrett on Hannity just reported that Rosenstein recently threated Nunes and other committee members with subpoenas for their cell phones if they didn’t back off of him and Mueller. Talk about obstruction!

[tennmountainman]

I heard that too D.

If true, Trump must fire Rosenstein.
Threatening congress is a crime.

[Red Steel]

Well DUh WaPo and it’s all well deserved. And it’s not because of Trump’s offhanded remark. In layman’s terms, the former and the latter, the “leadership” over at the DOJ is an absolute cluster _ u _ _.

[LIConFem]

Just heard that about three weeks ago, Rosenstein threatened to subpoena the text messages of Nunes and other members of the House Intel. Cmte. because he was "tired of dealing with the committee", or some such nonsense. So he essentially threatened members of congress because he was angry that they were engaged in oversight of the DOJ and FBI.

Heard this from Sabastian Gorka on Hannity.

[Reno89519]

Trump attorney now on Hannity calling for an independent counsel.
