Why were dems okay with Rosenstein refusing to answer questions and making threats about being subpoenaed?
Why would you purposefully misrepresent what Rosenstein's position on it were? Or are you actually so clueless you equate it with Whitaker?
Rosenstein: Justice Department wonât be extorted by Congress
Rosenstein: Justice Department won't be extorted by Congress
The contrast is striking!
WASHINGTON (AP) â Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on Tuesday lashed out at Republican allies of President Donald Trump who have drafted articles of impeachment against him, saying the Justice Department wonât be extorted or give in to threats.
Rosenstein, speaking at a question-and-answer session at the Newseum, chided the lawmakers who have prepared the document by saying that âthey canât even resist leaking their own draftsâ and that they lack âthe courage to put their name on it.â
âI can tell you there have been people who have been making threats privately and publicly against me for quite some time, and I think they should understand by now, the Department of Justice is not going to be extorted,â Rosenstein said, in response to a question about news reports on the articles of impeachment.
âWeâre going to do whatâs required by the rule of law,â he added. âAnd any kind of threats that anybody makes are not going to affect the way we do our job.â
