A group of conservative House lawmakers on Wednesday introduced articles of impeachment against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, the top Department of Justice (DOJ) official overseeing special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

The impeachment document makes a series of charges against Rosenstein, the latest sign of escalating efforts among conservatives to oust the DOJ’s No. 2 official.

1. But the left better be careful of running on impeaching trump?

2. It's not accurate to say they are "conservative". This is the lunatic fringe wing of the Repubs.

This isn't going anywhere's as there isn't enough support amongst the Repubs themselves for it.

3. Rosenstein

Merely a political ploy. No way this goes anywhere. In the extremely unlikely event that it passes the House, it cannot get 2/3 in the Senate.

4. I highly, highly doubt they've got the votes in the House. I'm certain they don't in the Senate.

This is a waste of time, and makes them look hyper-corrupt (not that they needed help).
