  1. and that he has no response to documents that “nobody has the courage to put their name on”

    Nice trolling.

  2. this is just wild that the Deputy Attorney General feels the need to say the DOJ “won’t be extorted” by people who are political allies of the President of the United States

    The GOP is in the process of imploding, in case anyone hasn’t noticed. Hoist by its own petard of corruption, stupidity, overreach, ideological bankruptcy. Not good when you’re about to hit the biggest blue wave in living memory.

  4. Nice. Keep going Rosenstein. At least when Donnie fires you we’ll have these moments on tape!

  5. Speak up, Rod, before they McCabe you further.
