GOP Rep Meadows: If Rosenstein Doesn’t Turn Over Docs, We Will Move to Impeach

Saturday, Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) said that if Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein does not turn over the unredacted documents requested by Congress related to FISA, FBI and more then impeachment could be in order.

“Rod Rosenstein can call Michael Horowitz, who has the documents, and say just give them to Congress. If he doesn’t do that … there is a growing consensus of holding them in contempt of Congress, but it’s not enough to stop there.

We have to have someone willing to do the job. If the deputy attorney general is not willing to do it and not willing to allow us to have our Constitutional Oversight Authority supported, then we’ll find someone who can,” said Meadows on Fox News Channel’s “Justice.”

How long will this standoff go on? They’re not going to release documents, because the documents will show their criminal involvement. President Trump knows they have nothing on him, and he obviously is aware of a great many of their crimes. While they are trying to fabricate charges on him, he’s collecting more and more intel on them. Who blinks first, or is this political jenga?

Impeach Congress........

Not Meadows, Goodlatte, Nunes, Jordan, Goetz, Gomert.

[FreeReign]

Or do you need someone in there that isn’t a partisan hack ... who should be under investigation himself ... who should probably be on his way to prison ... who probably violated the law by magically expanding Mueller’s mandate after the fact so you can justify his actions ... who allowed and approved scum like McCabe, Page, Strzok, Ohr, and Priestap to lie and make up stuff to the FISC to make sure she won and then try to overturn an election because you didn’t think any of you would get caught ... and who should be getting waterboarded for all the information they have about Uranium One, Clinton Foundation, Comey and Mueller.

Right on.

Until Rosenstein is out, all of the FBI and DOJ answer up the chain to this weasel except the recused Sessions.

Imagine the chilling effect that has on all Deep State investigations.

Congressional Investigators Given “Extraordinary Accommodation” To Access Secret FISA Documents

The Justice Department has quietly granted congressional investigators access to secret FISA documents in relation to former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page.  Daily Caller reports: The Department...thegatewaypundit.com

I hope they can get rid of RR.

Of course, those trying to conceal crimes wouldn’t do like a “Look! Squirrel!” or some sort of false flag to distract now would they? /adjusts tinfoil hat - shiny side out

[Pravious]

I believe it’s all tied in to Mueller. Trump can’t afford to do anything that might be construed as “obstruction of justice”

So once AGAIN these evil bastards have sewn it up so we lose if we do and lose if e don’t.

One question:

How much $$$ did he get from the Democrats to say this?

[RoosterRedux]

Funny how Jeff has stepped aside and left RR on the front lines.

Here's the thing...if DOJ tells the Congressional oversight committees what they are doing, the Democrats on the oversight committees will leak such info alerting those in the crosshairs to run, hide, and lawyer up.

What the DOJ is doing is keeping its cards close to its chest. And if RR tells the oversight committees, he reveals his treasonous character.

RR is in the bullseye.

This is some brilliant 3-D chess.

I didn’t even know there was impeachment for anyone other than the POTUS

[enumerated]

Trump, and the good guys in congress like Meadows need to act like they want the congressional oversight committees to receive the unredacted information - but they really don’t want it to happen.

Congress leaks like a sieve. All the “impeach Trump” types in congress leak everything to the media the minute they see it, and there are no consequences. It doesn’t matter how classified something is - it goes straight to Trump’s enemies so they can sabotage DOJ efforts.

With leaked details of ongoing investigations, the deep state knows exactly which witnesses and evidence needs to disappear or be tainted. If they know the arguments being constructed, they know exactly how to mount a defense or launch a misinformation campaign to undermine it.

Details of ongoing DOJ investigations being released to congress is the very last thing Trump or anyone loyal to him would want.

So, why do Trump, Meadows, Nunes, etc., publicly call for the release of the information? Simple. Keeping secrets and withholding information is always bad politics.

Everyone knows secrecy is a hugely important element in any police work, any criminal investigation, any military or strategic operation - it’s game theory 101.

Unfortunately, despite the legitimate need for secrecy, clever politicians can play on the public’s natural distrust of government to force their political opponents to reveal their secrets.

This is going on all the time in DC - but right now it’s Trump’s enemies that benefit if DOJ is forced to give up details they are not ready to reveal. Trump, Meadows, etc., can’t very well come out and say “We think it’s ok that the DOJ is holding back information” - Trump’s enemies in the media could easily spin it as a cover up. So they act as if they too want the information to see the light of day.

But they clearly don’t. You said it yourself - if Trump wanted that he would have fired Sessions a long time ago.

[Ambrosia]

I guess /s should have been behind that. Sometimes we want something and there is always an obstacle to get there! :)

[jpsb]

Trump could order Rosenstein to give Congress the docs Congress wants and if Rosenstein refuses Trump now has cause to fire him.

[Pravious]

You’re probably right. It also serves to throw the hard-core, frustrated Trump supporters (i.e., us) a bone - to at least make us think we’re not forgotten.

[jpsb]

A dead line has been set April 11, 2018 IIRC.

[SaveFerris]

[Trump could order Rosenstein to give Congress the docs Congress wants and if Rosenstein refuses Trump now has cause to fire him.]

I like it. Have him order Sessions to do it. Then if Sessions doesn’t do it, fire him. Put in a temporary to get the job done.

[Basket_of_Deplorables]

The EC that started it all is being held up. It is a single document, and the source of the entire collusion Mueller crap fest.

**I want to see it!!! Doesn’t everybody here want to see it?!? Congress wants to see it. It is a smoking gun of some kind, for sure.

They are refusing to release it to Congress. Your theory that the guys refusing to turn it over are really the good guys, because the dems will leak it, makes no sense for one simple reason:

See ** above!

LEAK IT?!? HELL, PUBLISH IT!!!!!

[Scooter100]

Aww, come on people, give the poor guys a break, would ya? They haven’t had time to shred everything yet.
