New documents obtained by Fox News reveal Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein threatened to “subpoena” the emails, phone records, and other materials from legislators and their staff on the House Intelligence Committee regarding the ongoing Russia probe.
According to Fox News, the DOJ Deputy lashed-out at Devin Nunes’ Intel Committee in January 2018 after they repeatedly requested access to records surrounding the Russia collusion investigation.
“Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein threatened to ‘subpoena’ emails, phone records and other documents from lawmakers and staff on a Republican-led House committee during a tense meeting earlier this year, according to emails reviewed by Fox News documenting the encounter and reflecting what aides described as a ‘personal attack,’” writes Fox News.
“The DAG [Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein] criticized the Committee for sending our requests in writing and was further critical of the Committee’s request to have DOJ/FBI do the same when responding,” the committee’s then-senior counsel for counterterrorism Kash Patel wrote to the House Office of General Counsel. “Going so far as to say that if the Committee likes being litigators, then ‘we [DOJ] too [are] litigators, and we will subpoena your records and your emails,’ referring to HPSCI [House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence] and Congress overall.”
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s ongoing battle with House Republicans reached new heights Tuesday, as the No. 2 senior leader of the Justice Department plans to call on the House to investigate its own committee staff.
Go Rod, go! Take down that two-bit pansy Devin Nunes and the rest of the anti-American asses on the House Intelligence committee.
“The FBI Director, the senior career ethics adviser for the Department, and the Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs who were all present at this meeting are all quite clear that the characterization of events laid out here is false.”
Lyin’ Devin Nunes needs to have his ass handed to him and then be driven out of town.
Show these clowns no mercy and wreck them so that they serve as an example to others that would offer comfort to our enemies.
