Breitbart: House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-NC) released a statement on Thursday, charging that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein “must be held accountable for his obstructionist conduct” after the Inspector General (IG) report was released.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz released his highly-anticipated report, which detailed the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation. The report reveals a previously undisclosed text exchange between FBI agent Peter Strzok and his mistress Lisa Page. Strzok told Page that “We’ll stop it,” when asked about Donald Trump potentially being elected president.
The report also suggested that former FBI Director James Comey “dramatically” broke with bureau norms regarding his handling of the Clinton email investigation.
Meadows said in a statement on Thursday:
The findings from Inspector General Horowitz are deeply disturbing and raise alarming questions about a Justice Department that should serve as a bedrock for America’s people. IG Horowitz’s report and his conclusions reveal a troubling number of executive failures that absolutely cannot happen in this country.
The House Freedom Caucus chairman then chastised Rosenstein for hiding the text suggesting that Strzok will stop Trump from becoming president. more
Whom exactly is Meadows speaking to in his ‘statement’? Us? The TV people?
We can’t do anything about it.
There is only one person who can. Has Meadows asked the president to sit down with him and discuss why these people who work for the executive branch are so out of control?
Nope. He won’t.
Him and Gowdy ought to get together. They could start a club. Perhaps start the “Impotent and Ineffective Caterwaulers Cabal”. Yeah, that has a nice descriptive ring to it.
“The House Freedom Caucus chairman then chastised Rosenstein for hiding the text suggesting that Strzok will stop Trump from becoming president.”
Strozok did not say “I will stop him” he said “WE will stop him.” There is a big difference between the two distinctions. They are trying to deflect. Don’t fall for it. This was a coordinated effort by the FBI/DOJ to effect the outcome of the election.
PROSECUTE!!!
The problem is ingrained deep in the recesses in the minds of these people. The fix is getting rid of the players. Its same with a dog that likes to bite, you should/can never really trust them…
Lowell, the fact that Rosenstein threatened to use the power of the state against investigators, simply for doing their job, is unacceptable and infuriating. And effective, apparently, if that is what is causing weak sisters like Gowdy to wilt. If we cannot rid ourselves of petty, bespectacled tyrants like Rosenstein through normal processes, we will inevitably turn to extra-judicial methods. The genie cannot be put back in the lamp.
Rosenstooge will be going down eventually.
Did you shop those brows?
Rosenstein’s stonewalling and obfuscations are just more corruption within the very agencies that are supposed to stop corruption.
if the American public wants justice they will have to get it for themselves because all of congress is against them.
we will have to arrest and imprison these scumbags ourselves if they are ever going to be brought to justice.
don’t count on the DOJ and FBI to do it.
it’s not going to happen.
Thirdtwin,
Gowdy has been a bloviating blowhard for ever. It’s not that he’s recently wilted, he never bloomed.
He’s railed (ad nausea) about wrong doing and even criminal acts brought to his attention for years and never once exercised the power of his office.
He needs to be a substitute host for Limbaugh, not a US Representative.
Rosenstein. Wasn’t he the Batboy on the cover of News of the World about 20 years ago?
The media coverage of this is appalling. The propaganda wing of the demorats needs to be destroyed.
I’ll pay for a one way ticket to Dachau for him.
@ Mo,
Rosenstein may have been able to massage this first IG report. He can’t do this on the other 3 IG reports because he signed off on a FISA warrant extension. He must recluse or be fired. I think he will be fired very soon.
They can put as much lipstick on the pig, but at the end of the day, Trump Sessions, and Huber have copies of the unedited IG report and all the damning evidence of criminal conduct.
The criminals that were at the DOJ/FBI probably feel as comfortable today as Hitler did in his Berlin bunker in April, 1945. If only they could act like the people in the movies and “die well’.
I am buying more popcorn. These are interesting times.
MAGA!
