“I just filed a resolution with @Jim_Jordan and several colleagues to impeach Rod Rosenstein.”
Good for you! You da Man!
Sessions was lured into recusing himself on false pretenses, aided by Democrats pressuring him into it to isolate Trump and effectively overturn the 2016 election.

What is the legal theory for this? POTUS nominated him to serve as Deputy AG. POTUS or the AG can dismiss him.
Congress has authority to impeach judges, because those are life-time appointments.
This would seem to be another useless Congressional waist of time.
He may not be impeached, and he certainly won’t be convicted, but a lot of good information will be made public.
A simple majority in the House can impeach a civil officer of the government; 2/3 majority in the Senate can then remove.
I don’t see 2/3 of the Senate voting to remove Rosenstein, but if a simple majority does, that would be political cover for Trump to fire him.
In a just world this would be a cake walk.
In ours, I won’t hold my breath . . .
“where is the removal of Mueller and outfit?”
How about Sessionless?
Ah, so Rod Jay Rosenstein didn’t sign the application. 8>)
Foxes and RINO’s and turtles versus a weasel. Not sure if I like the odds...
Dobbs just announced it. Just interviewed Gaetz.
If it even comes up for a vote. I have strong doubts that it will. Hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised. At least I will pray that I am. 8>)
The Senate held a trial.
There is 0% chance that the senate votes to convict Rosenstein. It’s a waste of time.
On Lou Dobbs show
well shoot, you’re right! Hate it when that happens!
It gives Trump more ammo to fire him but he won’t. How about re-assigning him pending the outcome? Let him keep an eye on the Guam office and bring in a white hat interim his post and watch Mueller disintigrate.
I’ve noticed both Liberty Daily and Drudge both don’t post Fox News announcements.
Thanks MM.
“I must confess that I’m ignorant of the procedure. I fully understand the impeachment and removal process for the elected Executive Branch members and the Judicial Branch. But not of appointed officeholders. I had always assumed they were just fired.”
Your comment makes me wonder if this will make it easier for Trump to fire the guy?
You will see House hearings and more as the heat is put on the Deep State players.
This is a war. Subpoena power with hearings leading up to the mid terms gives the GOP a Full House. The Deep State is holding deuces.
