Full Title: Rep. Meadows Calls For Rosenstein to “Resign Immediately” Following James Baker Testimony He Plotted to Oust Trump From Office
Snip~~~
Former FBI lawyer James Baker appeared on Capitol Hill earlier Thursday for the second time to testify about Rosenstein’s plan to wear a wire and and the use of FISA warrants to oust President Trump from office.
Rep. Meadows emerged from the testimony Thursday calling for Rosenstein to “resign immediately.”
MEADOWS: Based on additional information we’ve learned over the last week, it is clear Rod Rosenstein should resign immediately.
He has not cooperated with Congress, failed to be transparent about his actions, and shown a lack of candor in the way he’s characterized a number of events.

shown a lack of candor in the way he’s characterized a number of events.
Well that’s got to be the sweetest way to call a man a liar that I have ever heard.
He will be “resigning” on November 7th along with Granny Sessions.
I wonder what Baker told them to get this type of reaction..
Here we go again. Another quick ride on the circular roller coaster, the one with all those safety belts.
Rats never recuse Rats never resign. Never.
On the other hand, Rosenstein isn't exactly trustworthy either. In this case, cleaning house should mean getting rid of everybody left from Obama's DoJ.
They (Trump) needs a clean sweep of DOJ. He should of done it from the very beginning. And a clean sweep incudes Magoo Sessions too!
“Lack of candor”? In other words he’s a Lying sack of shit trying to cover his own treasonous ass.
It is clear he should be - and Rep Meadows, given his willingness to grandstand, should be leading the effort.
Can’t Trump order Rosenstein to testify after all technically he IS his boss.
October 8, 2018
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said Monday he has no intention of firing Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, ending lingering uncertainty over the official’s tenure in the wake of reports he had suggested invoking the 25th Amendment last year to remove Trump.
“I get along very well with him,” he told reporters as he departed the White House bound for Orlando and an event with police chiefs. Asked if he planned to fire Rosenstein, Trump replied, “No, I don’t.”
Trump and Rosenstein talked for about a half-hour aboard Air Force One, according to spokesman Hogan Gidley.
Later, during his remarks to the International Association of Chiefs of Police, Trump thanked the deputy attorney general for accompanying him to Florida, adding: “We had a very good talk.”
He went on to describe the drama that had preceded their meeting as a “a very big story,” though it appeared that any differences between the two had been settled, for now.
Indeed, Rosenstein’s fate was the theme that shadowed both legs of Trump’s brief trip to Florida. On his return to the White House Monday afternoon, Trump again offered an endorsement for the deputy attorney general.
“We actually get along,” the president told reporters. “I’m not making any changes. You’d be the first to know.”
The prospect of Rosenstein’s departure raised deep concerns for the future of Robert Mueller’s inquiry into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, which the president has repeatedly disparaged as a “witch-hunt.” Mueller was appointed by Rosenstein, who inherited oversight of the probe after Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from Russia-related matters last year.
In his brief comments Monday, Trump reasserted that the Russia inquiry was misguided.
“There’s been no collusion, folks,” the president said.
Last month, Trump delayed a hastily scheduled meeting with Rosenstein when the two were set to discuss reports the deputy attorney general had also suggested at a meeting with top Justice and FBI officials last year that he wear a wire to record his encounters with the president in an alleged attempt to capture evidence of Trump’s instability.
The urgency for the earlier meeting appeared to abate last month after Trump signaled his support for Rosenstein, who has repeatedly denied the accounts first reported by The New York Times. At the time, Trump said he was delaying the discussion with Rosenstein to focus his attention on the then-embattled nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court....
Trump is waiting till after the midterms.
Between now and then, rallies to stir up the base and drive huge GOP turnout.
Hell is unleashed if GOP holds House and gains in Senate.
If Rosenstein resigns, who will run DOJ?
Yet eff Sessions has expressed complete confidence and trust in Rosenweasel.
Spit...
“who will run DOJ?” At this point what difference does it make. Sessions is useless and Rosenstein is corrupt so nothing would be better than these two.
should have
“Lack of candor” is actually the name of an official violation that federal employees can be disciplined or fired for. It’s what they got McCabe on.
