This is huge! I have never seen this kind of blatant abuse before. Why on earth does he still have his job?

On Saturday morning Gregg Jarrett tweeted out that a second source now says Rod Rosenstein threatened Chairman Nunes and House Intelligence members if they did not stop their investigation.

 

A 2nd source has now confirmed to me that, in a meeting on January 10, Deputy A-G Rosenstein used the power of his office to threaten to subpoena the calls & texts of the Intel Committee to get it to stop it’s investigation of DOJ and FBI. Likely an Abuse of Power & Obstruction.

Jarrett also named the crime Rosenstein may have committed.

“It is a crime for a government official to use his office to threaten anyone, including a member of Congress, for exercising a constitutionally protected right. See 18 USC 242 and other similar abuse of power statutes.”

Jarrett also said, “Again, if true, Rosenstein’s action was an illegal abuse of power and he should no longer serve as Deputy Attorney General. He allegedly used threats to try to stop the Intelligence Committee from exposing wrongful behavior in an attempt to cover it up.’

Jarrett said his sources told him Rod Rosenstein threatened the House Intelligence Committee members three weeks ago. Read more at TGP.

Keep up your powerful work on this story. Your knowledge of the law and your clear translation of it to laymen is very helpful in understanding the implications. Thank you.

The swamp protects itself. Totally corrupt, totally unacceptable. @POTUS was absolutely right when he talked about the need for a thorough draining.
