Schumer: DOJ nominee must commit to special prosecutor for Trump-Russia probe
By Jordain Carney - 03/06/17 03:14 PM EST

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is demanding that deputy attorney general nominee Rod Rosenstein commit during his confirmation hearing to appoint a special prosecutor to oversee any investigation into any ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

"The Senate Judiciary Committee is going to have a hearing on the nomination of Mr. Rosenstein to serve as the deputy attorney general. During that hearing Mr. Rosenstein should commit to naming a special prosecutor to look into the Trump campaign's ties to Russia," he said from the Senate floor.

Schumer's a dummy. They'd throw Trump in the slammer immediately if they could.

Hearings are not required to refer a matter to  US Attorney for prosecution. Chuckie needs to pound sand. He is MINORITY leader.

Where's Mitch? Curled up in fetal position sucking his thumb?

Do a recess appointment.

Since when did this professional loser Chucky get the power to do shit? Last I checked he is the ineffectual leader of the minority party.

He's obviously been reading the pages of notes that Dingy Harry left him on how to stymie the GOP when they are in the majority.
