The long-awaited showdown between the Justice Department and Congress is finally here.
It started late Friday afternoon. While the rest of the country was parsing the just-released report on the FBI from the Justice Department’s inspector general, senior congressional leaders and selected committee chairmen quietly met with FBI Director Christopher Wray and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein at a secure location in the basement of the Capitol.
At issue was Justice and FBI’s continuing defiance of congressional subpoenas. At the top of this list is the demand from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence for documents about why and whether the FBI had an informant insinuating himself with Trump campaign officials before the Russia investigation officially started.

Wasn’t Matt Gaetz saying something, tonight on FoxNews, about proceedings for Impeachment of Rosenstein will begin this week?
Anyone else hear that??
Bump!
The Deep State needs to be dismantled if it is not too late.
Screw the WSJ and their pay to read.
I heard Jim Jordan today on Hannity say that Paul Ryan told Rosenstein to his face if he did not produce the documents that were requested they would proceed to vote on a House Resolution by the full House to demand release of the documents, if still not produced, the would then vote to charge him with Contempt of Congress, and if he still failed to comply even after that, they would proceed with impeachment. Goodlatte, Gowdy, and Nunes (chairmen of the Judiciary, Oversight, and Intelligence committees, respectively) were also apparently at this meeting.
Filthy foreigner murdoch.
Rosenstein is dragging his feet. But so is the GOP led congress. It should have held him to account right after the first refusal to provide the requested documents. The fact that this game has gone on for so long shows the GOP doesn’t really want to do it.
Thanks much, for your informative reply.
The time for action is long passed.
You really have to wonder just who is advising Trump and what is really happening behind the scenes. It would appear Rosenstein and Horowitz are defending the deep state. Is it possible that somehow Trump is a step ahead of them and there will be arrests?
That would take courage, so it ain’t going to happen.
Comey letting Hillary off was bad enough but the 'devastating' IG report that wasn't gives us a glimpse of how far gone we are.
Congress has it’s own jail. The committee or a vote of the house can put Rosenstien in it if he is in contempt.
That would send a signal.
