It was reported late Wednesday that House Republicans have filed articles of impeachment against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
According to The Daily Wire:
House Republicans filed a resolution to impeach United States Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on Wednesday, citing the Justice Department’s lack of transparency and obstruction of congressional oversight.
“I just filed a resolution with Jim Jordan and several colleagues to impeach Rod Rosenstein,” Meadows wrote on Twitter. “The DOJ has continued to hide information from Congress and repeatedly obstructed oversight–even defying multiple Congressional subpoenas.”
“We have had enough,” Meadows added.

We have had enough.

“For 9 months we’ve warned them consequences were coming, and for 9 months we’ve heard the same excuses backed up by the same unacceptable conduct,” Meadows said in a statement, according to The Hill. “Time is up and the consequences are here. It’s time to find a new Deputy Attorney General who is serious about accountability and transparency.”
This comes after months of speculation about Rosenstein’s impeachment. The House still has to vote on it, and it is unclear if it will pass.
