Rosenstein: "I have not received any 'improper orders' from the President"...

But if he did receive any "improper orders", what would he do?

It is interesting that he used the terminology "improper orders".

It sent a message to Donald Trump and his collaborators in the House. "I will not follow any orders that I deem improper."

They can threaten him with contempt or even, impeachment, and he is not going to fold. He has done everything possible to compromise and to assist the House Republicans in their request for classified documents. He will go no further.

The ball is in their court.

Rosenstein plans on finishing this investigation unless he is fired. He is not going to quit.

But what he's already given them is an unprecedented amount! Info that threatens our National security and may cost lives. You can count on leaks of classified info stove-piped right to Hannity.


We're in uncharted territory. We all should be terrified.
