This is nothing but a partisan spectacle by the House Teabagger NaziCons. Even if it does pass the House - there is no way to get a 2/3 majority to pass in the Senate. I even have doubts it will pass in the House. Meadows and Jordan want information they don't even have a right to during a federal investigation.
GOP HARD-LINERS MOVE TO IMPEACH ROSENSTEIN
Pretty sure it doesn't work like that for bureau people. That's how it is for the president, not the peons.
Rosenstein is in deep doodoo.
What doesn't work like that?
"I don't think it will go anywhere," said Eric Herzik, chairman of the political science department at the University of Nevada-Reno. "I don't think leadership will ever bring it to the House floor."
Though going after Rosenstein might appeal to hard-core Trump voters, it could backfire with most of the electorate and hurt moderate Republicans in swing districts in the congressional elections in November, he said.
Even if the House impeached Rosenstein, the closely divided Senate would never convict him, Herzik said. It takes a two-thirds majority to convict someone in a Senate impeachment trial. Republicans hold a slim 51-49 majority, and many of the Republicans would side with Democrats against conviction, the professor said.
"I'm sure (Senate Majority Leader) Mitch McConnell is rolling his eyes and looking at (House Speaker) Paul Ryan and saying, 'Get your guys under control,' " Herzik said.
House conservatives "are having fun talking about" impeachment, said Jack Pitney, a political scientist at Claremont McKenna College in California. "But if they actually pulled the trigger, it might blow up in their face," he said. "If they moved forward and had impeachment hearings and an investigation, they could turn over some rocks that don't make the Trump administration look good."
Could Trump allies really impeach Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein? Not likely, experts say
You do not get what you want, just because you demand it, that's the mentality of a dumbass spoiled brat. The world does not work that way, sorry.
You on the right might want to recognize what you have just said.
The US is run according to the law.
Rosenstein has already violated the law.
There is no law that says IM2 gets a reparation check. Awww.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but there's more to come.
They don't move on my timeline, but they do move that way.
Christopher Wray will be going, too.
