A group of conservative House lawmakers have begun drafting a resolution that calls for the impeachment of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, the top Department of Justice (DOJ) official overseeing special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.
The impeachment document makes a series of charges against Rosenstein, the latest sign of escalating efforts among conservatives to oust the DOJ’s No. 2 official, according to a copy of the draft obtained by The Hill. [snip]
Conservative members led by Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), chairman of the House Freedom Caucus and a close ally to President Trump, drafted the eight articles of impeachment against Rosenstein.
To which Rosenstein replied:
"I can tell you, ya know, there've been people who have been making threats, privately and publicly against me for quite some time," Rosenstein said at a Newseum event in Washington. “I think they should understand by now the Department of Justice is not going to be extorted." [snip]
"I just don't have anything to say about documents like that that nobody has the courage to put their name on and that they leak in that way," said Rosenstein.
Meadows, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Crackpot) and the other nihilist ultra- rightists in the House are doing what they can to derail the investigation by Robert Mueller by trying to remove one of the Justice officials blocking Mueller from being fired. "Extortion" is exactly what they're up to, modeling the kind of behavior we're used to from Stormtrumper thugs and their vile leader.
