The move by House of Representatives Freedom Caucus members to impeach Rod Rosenstein was shocking to me when I first read about it, but given the proclivities of Meadows, Jordan, et al. (birds of a feather suck together), it shouldn't have been. It's phenomenal how deeply tied to Trump these nutcases are, but again, it shouldn't be surprising. They've sold out. They deserve to be tossed out, but they are in such safe districkts that they can just go on being overbearing, underwhelming, and revolting.
So then I read this:
The baseless, shameful campaign to discredit Rod Rosenstein
BY John S. Martin, who served as U.S. district judge for the Southern District of New York from 1990 to 2003 and as U.S. attorney for that district from 1980 to 1983.
which contained this:
"The actions of the Freedom Caucus members are not only baseless, they are also shameful. While they call for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate Rosenstein, it may be more appropriate to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate an attempt to corruptly obstruct justice by members of Congress who so obviously use their office to intimidate the deputy attorney general and to undermine the credibility of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation."One wonders where this could end - what if the special counsel makes some irrefutable, stunning revelations about how much Trump was really in league with the Russians, and the Republicans still defend him with their unethical actions? What will diehard Trumpian voters/supporters think about him then? Will they think that what he did was justified and necessary, no matter how illegal and treasonous, because it prevented Hillary from becoming President and stopped another four years of a Democratic Presidency?
I would not be shocked if that's exactly what they end up thinking.
