Conservative House lawmakers draft articles of impeachment against Rosenstein
By Olivia Beavers - 04/30/18 09:01 PM EDT

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.

There has been no indication, however, that Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and other House GOP leaders will act on the measure, having largely remained silent amid calls for his removal by hard-line conservatives.

Guess what?  I have no opinion about Rosenstein - don't know what he did or did not do, so they want him out because he won't fire Mueller? These firings never stop.

They want him out because he's part of the corruption and had a hand in the events leading up to this mess.

But yes the firings never stop.   Every single person in this Administration will get fired eventually.   They'll all die too.

Is that Trumps fault too?

???  Rosenstein should have been fired a long time ago; he's part of the corruption.  He worked during the Clinton administration. He was an appointee of Eric Holder's. He was also involved in Uranium One.  He appointed Mueller who was also involved in Uranium One.  It doesn't get much easier than that to connect the dots.

Just Impeach Him?

He and Mueller need to be Indicted.

This is a joke maneuver, much like 'repeals' of the ACA under Obama.  It has no chance of getting to the floor under Ryan, nor would it pass, if it did.

Well said. He also needs to be prosecuted along with Comey, Mueller, McCabe, and the lovebirds.

On what charge?

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

On what charge?

USC18 Sec 241 & 242.

[kevindavis007]

USC18 Sec 241 & 242.

1. What they are doing doesn't violate USC18 Sec 241 & 242.
2. Sessions isn't going to do it.
