House Republicans (Gowdy/Goodlatte) quietly wrote a 7-Page letter on DOJ WITHOUT mentioning Rosenstein threatened Congressional Staff? Didnt Rosenstein LIE under oath to Congress about hiding documents? Horowitz admitted Rosenstein directed him to withhold Strzok-Page text msgs.
Congress has absolute power to compel testimony. TITLE 2 of Congress. Rosenstein does NOT have the right to refuse to testify as Deputy Attorney General. If Rosenstein refuses to testify, throw him in the tank until he does so. Missed Opportunity, Republicans. Thanks Paul Ryan.
House Republicans had Rosenstein in the jaws of life so many times. Rosenstein is NOT above the law. He does not get to violate his loyalty oath, neither does he get to violate 2 USC 192, refusal to testify or produce documents. Inherent Contempt should have been the next step.
The POWER of Congress to compel disclosures is clear per Supreme Court cases: Neild v. District of Columbia 1940, Anderson v. Dunn 1821, O'Donoghue v. United States 1933, McGrain v. Daugherty 1927. Congress has POWER to HOLD the Deputy Attorney General accountable. No excuses.
If Paul Ryan was the problem, than House Republican leadership should have done more to Hold the Speaker accountable. Regardless of new precedents for compelling disclosures, the conduct of Rosenstein raised cause for sanctions. @DevinNunes @TGowdySC @RepMarkMeadows @RepGoodlatte
63,000,000 voters of President Trump’s base did not do enough to put pressure on Gowdy-Goodlatte-Meadows-Nunes to hold Paul Ryan accountable. Public interest matters. We didn’t APPLY enough PRESSURE. Every American who voted for Trump should have been calling these men everyday.
