House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows said Thursday that lawmakers in recent days have "learned" information that warrants Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to step down "immediately."
“Based on additional information we've learned over the last week, it is clear Rod Rosenstein should resign immediately,” Meadows, R-N.C., tweeted Thursday afternoon. “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.”
Mark Meadows ✔ @RepMarkMeadows 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. 12:45 PM - Oct 18, 2018 10.5K 5,713 people are talking about this
The comment came after lawmakers met for a second time in recent weeks with the ex-top lawyer at the FBI, James Baker, who was expected to answer questions about reports that he talked about secretly recording President Trump, among other issues.
Rosenstein, who denies he ever considered wearing a wire or looking into the use of the 25th Amendment as the New York Times had reported, was tentatively set to meet with GOP lawmakers last week to discuss the report. However, last week's meeting was postponed, and a House Judiciary Committee aide told the Washington Examiner at the time they are working to confirm a potential meeting.
Some Republicans were upset Rosenstein wouldn't be on Capitol Hill, calling for a subpoena, and Trump said he was "surprised" he wouldn't appear.

RR is involved in multiple coup attempts. A high treason co-conspirator. He’s in it to win it. There is no stepping down.
Grab Rotten Rod by the ankles and hang him by his ankles.....a la BSM-style..... Let’s see if Rod is tougher than the dopey Saudi prince.
“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.”
All Democrat CongressCritters and the Never-Trumpers in Congress need to resign, too.
Job Openings! MAGA! :)
resign Rosenstein.
re mid-terms: ***if voters want the Deep State exposed***, they’d better keep a GOP majority in the House & Senate, even if they loathe the party. millennials, libertarians, independents and even plenty of Dems should want that.
it will take time - is taking time - but at least there’s a chance the coup-plotters will eventually be indicted if the GOP keep control.
interesting piece in the UK press.
18 Oct: UK Telegraph: Rob Crilly: Donald Trump has captured the Democratic Party and his populist takeover is complete
What connects Brett Kavanaugh, Pocahontas and American health policy? The answer lies in the extraordinary way that Donald Trump’s steamroller tactics have captured not just the Republican Party but reshaped the entire political battle field in his own, populist image with less than a month to go before midterm elections.
It did not start with the fight to confirm Mr Kavanaugh as a Supreme Court judge. But that battle, with allegations (denied by the judge) that he assaulted a woman when they were both high school age, is a textbook example of how the president can bounce his opponents into the gutter. Democrats should have known better... yet they took his culture war bait anyway...

“Rotten Rod”
I like that...
Opinion: Rosenswine will be gone after the midterms.
He has been hostile and uncooperative for considerable time. This is not new. Trump is letting the Congress grease the skids.....as it should be.
I don’t want Rotten Rod fired, I want him to stand trial.
A fair trial, convicted, sentenced and executed.
It is well past time to end the SES (Senior Executive Service) of which Rosenstein is a member.
The SES legislation was another of Jimmy Carter’s failures that keeps on giving.
I CONCUR!
ROSENSTEIN IS A SLIMEBAG.
i donnt know the guy but think it is extremely unlikely he’s gonna just resign.... after all, he and Mueller look like they are about to spring their big trap to finally (if they can pull it off) force DJT out of office
after all this time effort and fuss,
RR and mueller are almost certainly goona attempt their Last Lap (coup d’etat)
and see if it flies for them
Jeez. Enough with Rosenstein already. We’ve been hearing this crap for 18 months now. Ridiculous. Trump knows what to do.
I NEVER have a lack of Candor. I grow it my garden and can it in the fall.
HE LIED!!!!
We need MORE PLAIN ANGLO-SAXONISMS!
Instead we have Rosenweasel declaration to MSM today that Mueller’s witch hunt is fair and objective.
Grrrrrrrrrh!!!!!
I agree. This is what enables the Deep State. It’s a fourth, extra-constitutional branch of government that congress has ceded power to through sheer laziness. This issue along with having everyone on the federal payroll, including the congress and judiciary, randomly drug tested has been my hobby for a long time.
I agree. The DOJ and the FBI are operating as an independent arm of the government. Mueller and Rosenstein are coup plotter leaders and intend to press home their attempt until or unless forcefully stopped.
Bttt
