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

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!!!

Ron DeSantis, Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan along with Devin Nunes was on Fox News last night. they said they have 2 options. Impeach Rosenstein or have the president DEMAND the docs. remember that Nunes is the HEAD of the Intel community AND has been working on this for over a year.

also remember that the dems will block any impeachment. So the easiest solution is for the President to DEMAND the docs. Hannity said last night (EXACT words) let me get this straight gentlemen...you need the President to Demand the docs?" and they all 4 said yes. now my feeling is that the President was watching. apparently one of them sent the President a letter 2 weeks ago.
todaythe IG report comes out. it goes to the Pres in the afternoon. buckle up.

@akindheart I watched the News last night and watched members of the House quibbling and avoiding, as usual. The phrase that drives me the CRAZIEST is "Well, impeachment is certainly in our toolbox". If I hear about the toolbox one more time I will throw a shoe at the TV set. And now they've written a letter to Trump for help....because he is the only politician in the country with a set of balls, apparently.

@4meAndyou I missed that but I can tell you who said that about the toolbox. It was that guy from Wyoming, wasn't it? I forget his name.

@4meAndyou i have a feeling that trump has a plan. I am hoping he was waiting for the IG report which is not looking fair at all. it looks like they made comey the scape goat

@akindheart He met with Rosenstein today. I am dying...dying to know what Rosenstein said to excuse himself.

@4meAndyou LOL. you make me laugh because I feel the same way! i would fire his ass.

@akindheart After hearing the President on the news today, it seems that Rosenstein is blaming it all on the FBI, even though the FBI is supposed to answer directly to HIM. This buck has been passed so much it is only worth a nickel.
