Hell, I would do the same if I were Rosenstein. Nobody ever got in trouble for ignoring Congress. The GOP could have impeached Rosenstein, they could have zeroed out his budget. Hell they could have literally abolished the DOJ or FBI in an afternoon.
But the Repub congress did nothing for two years. Now they have lost Congress. If I was Rod I would flip Grassley the finger and go enjoy Christmas and wait for Nancy to be sworn in and for Schiff to take over the judiciary committee.
Can the Senate start their own investigations if the Democrap House shuts them down?
