Conservative lawmakers in the House are preparing to impeach Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Politico reported Friday.
Sources told the publication that conservatives have been preparing to have Rosenstein impeached for weeks over allegations that he's held up their investigation into FBI agents who some lawmakers say are biased against President Trump.
House Freedom Caucus leaders Reps. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) are leading the effort, and the impeachment document could be filed as soon as Monday, according to Politico.
Ben Williamson, a spokesman for Meadows, declined to rule out if it would be filed next week, Politico reported.
The news comes the same day that Rosenstein announced charges against 12 Russian intelligence officials for allegedly hacking the Democratic National Committee.
Rosenstein has long been a target for Republicans who are frustrated over special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into election meddling by Russia and possible collusion between Moscow and the Trump campaign. He is overseeing the probe after Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation, and some argue that he's the only person with the legal authority to fire Mueller.

(67,108 posts)1. This leads me to start questioning which country their allegiance lies with. There's a lot going on
IMO that we haven't seen/heard. Rather than frustrated, I think they are fearful of how far special counsel Robert Mueller's probe is going into election meddling by Russia and possible collusion between Moscow and the Trump campaign, and will they and/or their cronies be affected ... and to which country is their allegiance, what is in it for them.

And the Trumpers are sweating bullets. They think that by impeaching Rosenstein will end the Russia investigation, they are out of their minds.
What high crimes has Rod Rosenstein committed? Nothing compared to Diaper Donny.

They may impeach him in the house, but they won't get 2/3 in the Senate. Fools
