Mark Meadows is filing impeachment articles for Rosenstein.

Just saw this reported on twitter. Meadows is going ahead with trying to impeach Rosenstein.

Holy crap, these people are so criminal. I'm getting really worried. What are the odds that would actually pass?

It might pass the House but it will be close. I'd say it has a 51/49 chance of passing. LonePirate Jul 2018 #3
everything on twitter is true of course nt msongs Jul 2018 #4
Maybe not. So far this story has only one source to one journalist. highplainsdem Jul 2018 #5

A lot of time they create rumour/bullshit, so it can be peddled as truth to their dipshit voters. OnDoutside Jul 2018 #11
it's a subset of their trial ballooning operations 0rganism Jul 2018 #13

Firing or impeaching Rosenstein with midterms coming up would be political suicide.

I think it is DOA in the Senate, though.

And that journalist said in the followup tweet there that Meadows has NOT filed this yet, but "most likely" will do this Monday.

when their bullshit announcement doesn't cause immediate outrage, they promote it to policy.
when it does cause immediate horror and/or disgust, they peddle it as truth to the base and maybe promote it to policy anyway.
