Discussion: House Freedom Caucus Drafts Articles Of Impeachment Against Rosenstein

What is the custom for Congressional oversight of investigations?
I would say that, short of evidence of actually ongoing malfeasance, it is a violation of separation of powers for Congress to intervene in an ongoing investigation. But IANAL.

Grandstanding 101. These articles go nowhere.

These aren’t going anywhere except into the theater of chest beating and give their wounded pride and ego a glimmer of hope. It’s January 1945 and Hitler’s team know where this is all heading. Degenerates, all of them.

The requested documents are in the queue directly behind Trumps tax returns. Yes. Let’s speed things up.

Clearly the house “Freedom” (talk about a misnomer) Caucus needs a reminder that Trump is spelled T R U M P not R O S E N S T E I N

If the Rs truly want to promote freedom, they will disband the Freedom Caucus. They have probably done more harm to our country in a shorter time than any other congressional group. Without Koch and other big donor money they would be lost.

They wear flag pins on their lapels but they should really just slip on the nazi armbands and get it over with. Assuming we survive, history will not be kind to these folks.

This is a fascinating and significant development. The effort to impeach Rosenstein won’t have any practical consequences, but it reeks of desperation. Team Trump is like a feral beast caught in a trap and it’s starting to gnaw off its own leg because it has no better options.

The closer Mueller gets, the more people who’s jobs are in peril - both on the side of the law and what’s right, and on the side of those who are involved with and those trying to protect Trump.

“Freedom Caucus” = Oxymoron

I wonder the basis these GOP congressmen think they’re entitled to receive evidence of an active criminal probe by the FBI? After Devin’s shitshow on the white house lawn you’d think all these petty partisans would realize their game is completely known. When they should be sitting back waiting for possible charges or clearing of their Dotard hero, instead they’re trying to taint an investigation. Traitors every damn one of them.

Impeach Rosenstein? Right task, wrong person.

Misleading statements to Congress? Try Sessions.

Survival is the key to history. Sir John Harington had this figured out centuries ago:

Treason doth never prosper: what’s the reason?
Why, if it prosper, none dare call it treason.
– Sir John Harington, Epigrams, Book iv, Epistle 5

Shorter version: The only traitor is an unsuccessful one.

Whom do you consider the bigger a-hole in the ‘Freedom Caucus’ Mark Meadows or Jim Jordan? My money is on Jordan because he is on the tube and it is wackadoodle CITY listening to his claims how ‘everybody’ is corrupt but HIM and his cohorts. Meadows manages to sound reasonable and then DO reach crap-tard stuff. Jordan just offends me more,
