GOP lawmakers introduce articles of impeachment against Rosenstein
By Olivia Beavers - 07/25/18 07:07 PM EDT

A group of conservative House lawmakers on Wednesday introduced articles of impeachment against 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.

Conservative members led by Reps. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.)  and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), along with 9 cosponsors, introduced articles of impeachment against Rosenstein shortly after a meeting with Justice Department officials concerning document production.

"For 9 months we’ve warned them consequences were coming, and for 9 months we’ve heard the same excuses backed up by the same unacceptable conduct. Time is up and the consequences are here. It’s time to find a new Deputy Attorney General who is serious about accountability and transparency,” Meadows said in a statement.

 â€œMultiple times we’ve caught DOJ officials hiding information from Congress, withholding relevant documents, or even outright ignoring Congressional subpoenas—and now we have evidence that Mr. Rosenstein signed off on a document using unverified political opposition research as a cornerstone of a FISA application to spy on an American citizen working for the Trump campaign," Meadows continued.

Two things:

1. Are the charges really high crimes and misdemeanors against this country or just crimes and misdemeanors against Trump?
2. Are there enough votes in the Sentate to remove him from office?

Impeachment is not a function of the senate.

Impeachment proceedings are started in the House and approved through votes in the Senate.  In looking at what happened to Clinton, he was impeached but not removed from office.

The charges:   â€œMultiple times we’ve caught DOJ officials hiding information from Congress, withholding relevant documents, or even outright ignoring Congressional subpoenas—and now we have evidence that Mr. Rosenstein signed off on a document using unverified political opposition research as a cornerstone of a FISA application to spy on an American citizen working for the Trump campaign,


That is just relative to current offenses... I'm sure they could come up with evidence of his involvement/cover up of Uranium One if they wanted to.

   It seems that the HFC and Trump are starting to get along even after Trump blamed them for the obummcare lite failing and threatening to primary their azz last year.  Ryan on the other hand, like his predecessor Boehner is taking his marbles and going home.

Meadows threatens to force a vote on Rosenstein impeachment

By Emily Birnbaum - 07/25/18 11:07 PM EDT 

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) on Wednesday night threatened to force a vote on the GOP resolution to impeach Deputy Attorney General Rod RosensteinMeadows told Fox News host Laura Ingraham that any lawmaker can force the issue to the House floor without leadership support by offering the resolution as a "privileged motion," meaning the House must vote on it within two days.

"Certainly, we hope it doesn’t have to come to that," Meadows said on Ingraham's show "The Ingraham Angle."

As much as I find this move emotionally satisfying, I don't think they have the goods on Rosenstein.
