News broke on Oct. 19 that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein agreed to appear before both the House Judiciary and Government Oversight committees on Oct. 24, when he will testify under oath about the supposed 25th Amendment wire rumor, among other topics.
Because this testimony is slated to be before only the chairmen and ranking members of the committees, several people who will be excluded from the hearing raised immediate objections. Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), and Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) criticizedin the strongest termsthe decision to hold the hearing under those circumstances.
In two earlier columns, Rod Rosenstein: The Man With the Most Thankless Job in America and The Circus of Confusion and Chaos That Surrounds Rosenstein Is Deliberate, I explained why the popular media narrative about Rosenstein is wrong.
The popular media narrative is that Rosenstein is a key leader in an ongoing plot to sabotage President Donald Trump and maybe even impeach him. Jordan, Meadows, and Gaetz are strong public supporters of that narrative.

The Deep State and Rosenstein's DOJ are going after McCabe for only one leak. It was a leak that actually made Obama look bad. Look up what that leak was about. It wasn't an anti Trump leak.
That's why McCabe is retaliating against Rosenstein.
Oh. So the DS is being honorable here?
Interesting. They are still protecting Obama.
An oath means nothing to these people.
They all took an oath to be faithful to the constitution when they took office then violated their oaths without a moment’s hesitation or giving their infidelity a second thought.
Ask this: If Rosensein isn’t a weasel what action did he take to stop the traitors and the criminal activity that he knew was taking place?
We all know that he did absolutely nothing.
Oh. So the DS is being honorable here?
You didn't read what I said.
No, I did, but interpreted it in a twisted way. It sounds like they went after Rod because they thought he was one of them, but did something that harmed Obama. He violated the code of thieves’ honor.
Sadly, Trump tends to be VERY “gullible” ( though I’d use a worse word for it ) when it comes to people he surrounds himself with/trusts.
Man I can’t wait for all of this to come out.
Nor can I. I simply believe that Sessions is either incapable or unwilling to do it.
But i do hope youre right. I really do. I simply see no evidence for it.

Dude, take a pill. We have yet to see anything.
I suspect Trump is leaving Rosenstein and Mueller to flap meaninglessly in the wind, since they do not and cannot have a case. Leave them there, dying in public view, forever.
Is this so the lying weasel can secretly plead the 5th without anyone knowing about it? ...and WHO is unfit for holding office?
And Q hasnt poked his head out of the outhouse in weeks.
I think you might be a little premature in your glee. Has it occurred to you that they might ALL be black hats.
There is an old saying, if you dont have a seat at the table, you are on the menu. There have not been a whole lot of table conversations lately that have been held in the open. Until that starts to happen, I would not get too excited about what is out behind the barn. Because its likely a slaughterhouse.

Agreed. If there was any real dirt to be had the Dems would have leaked it before the election.
All Mueller has is a flimsy case for ‘obstruction’ for Trump’s firing of Comney and some of his tweets. Legally that dog won’t hunt and Mueller knows it.
“I’M VINDICATED!”
I think it is not yet time to pop the corks, as others have pointed out, this article just reflects the author’s opinion.
Nonetheless, things are likely to be coming light more quickly now, due to election considerations, and just the ripening of the investigations.
I guess that we can expect to see something, of some sort revealed, pretty much every workday between now and the election. Rosenstein’s testimony could be juicy, and release of declassified documents could still be timed before the election, and indictments or arrests could occur from the many investigations underway (although DoJ policy would be to avoid such action before an election, Democrats typically do it when they can). Both sides will have prepared last minute “surprise” strategies to influence the voting, and early voting is already underway.
I also expect that lots of the players have two options prepared, depending on how the elections turn out. They say that DC is the only place in the country where most of the campaign bumper stickers are applied the day after the election.
So if the Republicans hold the House the jig is probably up for Mueller, and a bunch of other apparatchiks burrowed away in the bureaucracy. If the Democrats take the House they will have the whole budget and a bunch of investigations to bargain with, to protect their partisans.
Even if the Democrats do take the House, we will probably see some personnel changes and other moves being made in the month or two before the new Congress is seated, to set conditions as best as possible for 2020 (like shutting down Mueller).
So tantalizingly, you could be obviously vindicated any day now (or it might still be weeks or months...).
The author gave us the three known examples of the DOJ going after leakers.
Unfortunately, I believe those three examples are of leakers who were leaking information that was embarrassing to the Deep State. They weren't leaks that hurt Trump.
Hope you are right - time will tell.
Yea, that’s it white is the new black.
