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."The emails memorialized a January 2018 closed-door meeting involving senior FBI and Justice Department officials as well as members of the House Intelligence Committee. The account claimed Rosenstein threatened to turn the tables on the committee's inquiries regarding the Russia probe. “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.”A second House committee staffer at the meeting backed up Patel’s account, writing: “Let me just add that watching the Deputy Attorney General launch a sustained personal attack against a congressional staffer in retaliation for vigorous oversight was astonishing and disheartening. ... Also, having the nation’s #1 (for these matters) law enforcement officer threaten to 'subpoena your calls and emails' was downright chilling.”
If we had an AG, Rosenstein would have been out on his ass long ago!
You are going to need irrefutable proof of wrong doing, misconduct, illigality etc etc to give that jerk the boot he deserves, and the AG got one shot at it, things like this just hammer another nail inthe coffin
First time poster here.What is Jeff Session's deal, anyway?Was he blackmailed? Is he an idiot? Or is he just a true Never-Trumper Rino?I belong to a forum which choses to censor us from talking about the IG report until it gets officially broadcasted. I'm on a break from work and can't tune into anything worthwhile, aka non-Mainstream Fakestream Lamestream Blamestream Media, so, if anything interesting happens throughout the day, I'll be checking in on you guys.Hope the "Intelligence" Community gets rocked today.
Does coming unglued get censored here?I've been posting on another forum since 2006 and haven't been booted yet, oh but I get censored constantly.I was hoping this place was different.I'm going to leave here for a bit so I can get unglued about this IG Report.
Sorry. I think my post was misinterpreted. Feel free to rant as long as it is rational.
Well thank you.Can't accuse you folks of not seeing me coming.
