McCarthy can be really good..... and sometimes he can be really bad. This one is bad.
It is CRYSTAL clear that if Trump were to fire Rosenstein or Sessions that the Democrats would engage in a MAMMOTH media blitz to impeach Trump. And they would likely get support from some of the Trump hating GOP.
Until a “for cause” document is produced, or Mueller closes his investigation, Sessions and Rosenstein are not going anywhere. They know that and that is why they won’t release the documents.
McCarthy misses the boat on this one.
That kind of sounds right, but the Republicans have an IG Report that can also be used to shake things up. But I don’t think they want the docs just yet... it’s going to be a slow drip, drip, drip until the fall when the unmentionable is discovered and used to clinch the election.
I disagree. Trump’s opponents would be hard pressed to make a credible case for impeachment should he choose to, as the head of the Executive Branch, direct subordinates to comply with subpoenas from the Legislative Branch. Yes, the left would make a lot of noise but then they oppose every move Trump makes and have as much credibility as the boy who cried “wolf”. But for subordinates to openly defy both Congress and their superior executive would not stand up to scrutiny IMHO. DOJ/FBI can plead “ongoing investigation/national security” all they want but Trump has the power to declassify any and all documents should he choose to do so and recent history has shown that given reasons for withholding information really didn’t turn out to be real reasons.
