Serious question. Rod Rosenstein, Asst. US Atty. General of the US, answers to Congress, right? Congress provides oversight for the DOJ. (More below)

Poll - Total Votes: 9
Kick Rosenstein in the rear?
Have Pence challenge Rosenstein to a duel?
Send "special" chocolate cream pie?
Send Navy Seals?
Leave Rosenstein alone, because he is in charge of the country?
Light fire under wussie Congress so they will impeach Rosenstein?

So, the committee in Congress that provides oversight for the Dept. of Justice (DOJ), can NOT get Rod Rosenstein to turn over two or three really crucial documents. He just won't do it. Now we are hearing stories on the news (true or not) that Rod Rosenstein is threatening the Congressional Committees' staff members, saying he will subpoena THEIR emails and records.

Sorry this is so long...(leading up to it). So my question is really this. Who or what is in charge when an employee of the DOJ violates the US constitution and refuses to obey the directions given to him by the Congress, which is in charge of his oversight? Can they call in the army? Can Pence go over to the DOJ and slap Rosenstein across the face with a glove? Can Jeff Sesions go up behind Rosenstein and kick his lunch up the other end?

I mean, if they put me in charge, I would light his pants on fire....but I don't think Congress can do that....even though it might work.

The Congressional Committee involved has talked about impeaching Rod Rosenstein, but apparently they just can't bring themselves to really do it because they are wussies. They have been talking about it for over a month, but Rod scares them.

In the meantime, if I have to hear about snot- nosed Rosenstein defying the legitimate authority of the Congress of the United States one more time, I am going to consider a complete and total news embargo. OR.............I could send Rosenstein one of those "special" chocolate cream pies....LOLOL!!!

Americans ignoring their own laws has been common place for over 150 years.

@SW-User Yes, but I have never watched the news as MUCH as I have done lately, so it is really, really ticking me off...😬 You should read about our track record for Presidents and public figures sexually abusing women...interesting reading.

@SW-User yes, but that's only the left doing that so it's ok.

@katielass LOLOL!!! No, seriously...it has been going on for over 200 years. Here's a link...and somehow, back in 1776 I don't know if there was a left...LOL!!!

@4meAndyou I think the left back then were the ones who didn't want to fight for independence. Not that they didn't want it, just didn't want to fight for it, wanted the others to do it for them. Recognize them now? lol But seriously, I believe the government, and by that I mean the feds, have increasingly ignored certain laws. They've been ignoring immigration laws ever since I can remember. And of course they mostly ignore the law against filing a false police report. Think false rape allegations.

@4meAndyou Again I hit post comment before I was finished.

But we the people also increasingly do not hold our employees accountable. Polls demonstrate pretty much everyone hates DC but most people like their own senator and rep, it's all those other guys who are the problem. Uh, no, its not those other guys, its all of them. Every last one of them. But we're going to continue to get the bottom of the barrel until enough of us wake up and say NO! No more shit from you people. We're the bosses, not you. We send you to DC to do as you're told.

@katielass Yay Katie!!! GOOD rant! LOLOL!!! Seriously, I think we need a much better vetting process for people who want to run for office.

@4meAndyou well, it's incumbent on us to keep up but it seems like the more "time saving" gadgets we invent the less time we have. How does that work out that way.
