House conservatives have filed articles of impeachment in an effort to oust Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, the overseer of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.
The articles, filed late Wednesday by Reps. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) — two top Trump allies — blast Rosenstein for what they allege was a failure to respond to congressional document demands. Senior Justice Department officials have rejected the criticism and described historic levels of cooperation with Congress to share files connected to the FBI investigations of Hillary Clinton’s email server and Trump campaign contacts with Russia.

This is insane. Eric Holder was only faced with contempt for this sort of thing. https://t.co/ZbiOrZfRNr

I hope this idiotic and pernicious resolution comes to a floor vote, and expect a solid majority of the House GOP to vote No. House Republicans in general have failed to distinguish themselves; but those who vote for this really are embracing irresponsibility of the first order. https://t.co/JBhIREnzPC

House impeachment move vs. Rosenstein is the strongest measure the U.S. Congress has ever taken on behalf of a sitting Russian president.
