Rosenstein skillfully SMACKS DOWN Rep. Jim Jordan

[MelissaB]

Rod Rosenstein skillfully SMACKS DOWN Rep. Jim Jordan in a cinematic way… “There’s no way to subpoena phone calls.” Must watch:

Fuck these Republican traitors for selling our Democracy.

[Achilleaze]

1. OK, put the republican staffers under oath

let them lie under oath

[Baitball Blogger]

2. Did you see Rosenstein's Mona Lisa smile when they asked him why he

won't release document to the Republicans?

This is how I interpret it: "I know that you know the answer to that question. And I know that you know that I know that you're just putting up an American Kabuki Dance for Trump supporters. Our country is not safe because you will use those documents to forewarn your co-conspirators."

[C Moon]

13. :D

[lagomorph777]

29. I see something in that smile too...

"Hey Jordan, you know that I know that there is proof in those docments, that you are obstructing justice. You'll see them when you get your indictment."

[DDySiegs]

31. Are These Rosensteins's Exact Words?

Because if the language in quotes is Rosensteins’s exact testimony, then he is unequivocally, and under oath, accusing the congress member who was asking the question of CONSPIRACY TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE.

BTW, just who was this congress member?

[Demit]

36. Baitball Blogger clearly said it was his own interpretation.

[Baitball Blogger]

41. "Mona Lisa smile" and "This is how I interpret..."

All indications that I was taking great license.

He actually said that in all instances where a problem was brought to his attention, he took care of it.

[kacekwl]

3. I really like Rosenstein. He's

cool, calm but strongly says Don't F with me.

[oberliner]

7. He's a right-wing conservative

Do not forget that.

[emulatorloo]

9. Irrelevant

He believes in the rule of law.

[mountain grammy]

15. Exactly!

[RandomAccess]

10. But at LEAST he seems to be one with PRINCIPLES that he adheres to

At LEAST he appears to be hewing to the whole notion of law and order.

At LEAST he appears to be putting country before party, as he's supposed to do in that position or really any public service position.

I give him HUGE props for all that. Huge.

[Blue_Adept]

11. And you're a left wing troll

See how easy it is to dehumanize and dismiss everyone?

[tavernier]

26. Oh, you made me

[JI7]

27. +

[OnDoutside]

17. If that was relevant Hillary would be in jail now for colluding with the Russians in 2016 !

[LanternWaste]

20. Thankfully, no one at all is arguing otherwise.

Seems you forgot that...

[JI7]

28. So is Leeann Tweeden

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

32. We don't know that. All we know is that he has apparently registered as a Republican.

It is not reasonable to assume that he is, in fact, a right-wing conservative or that he will conduct his investigation in a politically biased way. So far he does not seem to be doing that.

[JI7]

45. Exactly, that poster is always referring to republicans who don't go along with

trump as right wing.

[spanone]

4. Jordan is the biggest prick congress has seen in a long time.

[dhol82]

5. Yup, Jordan was trying to show his bona fides to the trump base

Possibly thinking of running for President in 20 years?

[OnDoutside]

18. Is that when HE gets out of jail ?

[Mr.Bill]

33. I'm 64 years old and It would not surprise me

if in my lifetime someone who is in jail gets elected president. We already have one who should have been in jail a long time ago.

[greatauntoftriplets]

6. That was beautiful to watch.

"You can't subpoena phone calls" was a great comeback.

[CrispyQ]

8. The GOP is full of little self-absorbed shits like this fuck, Jordan.

Nice smack down, by Resenstein. I saw an interview of him back when he first got put in this position & he was very reasonable, articulate, & I felt, concerned about justice. Not the kind of GOP the GOP wants anymore.

[SonofDonald]

12. He may be a conservative but

He's a law and order man, he isn't going to let them walk all over him period.

He knows that to get this stain on our country revealed is paramount and the most important thing he'll ever do

Back in the day on the crab boats we had a written in stone rule, never get into a fight with another crew member that involved fists.

But we could have a "Fuck You Fight"

Words only, never take a swing.

When you hit the dock a different story, they haven't got to the dock yet.

That was a thing of beauty

[colorado_ufo]

24. Watch the body language!

Rosenstein's right hand was fidgeting and tapping. His face showed little emotion (don't play poker with this man!), but his subtle hand movements were the equivalent of making a fist and just waiting until they hit the dock!

There was a documentary on Rosenstein recently, and I was extremely impressed. Rosenstein is more than a member of a political party - he is a man of high honor and also courage. He has ideals. He is the antithesis of the current president, and he will see his duty as far as he needs to go. The current president made a huge mistake when he tried to use Rosenstein to justify his firing of Comey, possibly undermining a long career that had earned the respect of both sides of the aisle. This man will not be played for a fool!

Rosenstein deserves our support in any way of which we are capable.

[Midnight Writer]

39. He may be a conservative, but he is smart enough not to end up on the wrong side of this.

You have got to figure Rosenstein knows a lot about the investigation and where it is going. He doesn't want to be involved in sabotaging an inevitable outcome.

I suspect a lot more than the Usual Suspects will be going down. I think there MUST be wide spread corruption among the GOP and their donors.

The widespread resignations are roaches fleeing the light.

I also believe Kennedy's resignation is because he would have to recuse himself from decisions regarding Trump's status, because his sons are so embedded with rich Republican traitors.

[SonofDonald]

42. Yes, being Muellers boss I think

He knows most everything there is to know, he knows how bad it is and that he has to stand up and fight for justice because if he doesn't......

[C Moon]

14. It's great to see great people standing up for our country as the GOPutin try to bring us down.

[wryter2000]

16. Well done

He is clearly not putting up with crap.

[pangaia]

19. What a loud mouth, arrogant, self-important little shit....

[KPN]

21. What an asshole that Jordan is!

You could see Rosenthal was pissed. Glad to see him put the asshole in his place so effectively. Reminds me of how Hillary so perfectly cut Gowdy's legs out from under himself throughout her ridiculous 9 hour testimony in that ridiculous GOP charade.

[ego_nation]

22. Rosestein sounds like he's biting his tongue

Hard.

[OldManTarHeel]

38. I Would Agree w/ You, ego_nation

He's holding back because he's pretty much required to . .

Jim Jordan is an ass . .

[GoCubsGo]

23. Jim Jordan is the living embodiment of the word "prick."

He's not very bright, either, is he?

[Racerdog1]

25. Who is dumber?

Jordan, Meadows or the dumbfucks that vote for these shitwads?

[knightmaar]

37. No, no. It's "Who is more foolish? The fool or the fool who follows him."

Get it right.

[tavernier]

30. Had to turn it off when Issa came on.

Biggest crook in the room. Real hot shot.

[Mr.Bill]

34. I, for one am not ready

to feel comfortable with the future of my country being in the hands of a bunch of Republican FBI agents. Especially when one of them took actions to make sure Hillary Clinton lost the election.

[duforsure]

35. Its going to be a happy day

When all these co-conspirators are all rounded up and prosecuted.

[gibraltar72]

40. I think we can all agree Jim Jordan is an A hole.

[Gothmog]

44. Jim Jordan is a clown, albeit a dangerous one
