House Republicans prepare to impeach Rod Rosenstein on Monday

  It is being reported here that House Republicans are preparing to impeach Rod Rosenstein and it could happen as early as Monday. Here is more:

House conservatives are preparing a new push to oust Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, according to three conservative Capitol Hill sources — putting the finishing touches on an impeachment filing even as Rosenstein announced the indictment of 12 Russian intelligence officers for interfering in the 2016 election.

House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows, in fact, had the impeachment document on the floor of the House at the very moment that Rosenstein spoke to reporters and TV cameras Friday.

Conservative GOP lawmakers have been plotting to remove Rosenstein for weeks, accusing him of slow-walking their probe of FBI agents they’ve accused of bias against President Donald Trump.

Conservative sources say they could file the impeachment document as soon as Monday, as Meadows and Freedom Caucus founder Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) look to build Republican support in the House. One source cautioned, however, that the timing was still fluid.

  I have to say this is an exercise in futility: even if the House does vote to impeach Rod Rosenstein there is no way the Senate is going to convict him and remove him from the Mueller investigation.

  This is no different than when they held Eric Holder in contempt of the Congress or when they repealed Obamacare 1,000 or so times while they knew it would not be repealed in the Senate, this is nothing but for show.
